Gann, who is also classed among the prominent and enterprising citizens of Dallas County, was born in Hamilton County, Tenn., March 12, 1848, and is the son of Cornelius and Lydia (Morland) Gann, natives of Tennessee and North Carolina, respectively. The father was born August 3, 1819, and died in Dallas County, MO., December 3, 1875. The mother was born in 1817, and is still living on the old homestead in Washington Township, Dallas County, MO. They were married in Tennessee, where they lived until 1853, when they came to Webster County, MO., and there resided until 1857. They then came to Dallas County, and located in the neighborhood of where their son, Francis M., now lives. He was a successful farmer, the result of industry and good management, was a Republican in politics, and both he and wife were members of the Baptist Church for many years, he being deacon of the same. In 1861 he enlisted and served six months in the State Militia, or Home Guards, then enlisted in Company B, Twenty-Fourth Missouri Infantry, Federal Army, and served until honorably discharged at St. Louis, MO., in the latter part of 1864.
