Early career
Horace Mann was born in Franklin, Massachusetts. His father was a farmer without much money. He had no more than six weeks of schooling in any year, but he made good use of the Franklin Public Library, America's first public library. He enrolled at Brown University and graduated in three years as a valedictorian (1819). "The Human Race in its Progressive Character" was the subject of his oration. He learned Greek and Latin from Samuel Barrett, who later became a well-known Unitarian minister. He then studied law in Wrentham, Massachusetts, where he served as a Latin and Greek tutor (1820-1822) and a librarian (1821–1823) at Brown. He also attended Litchfield Law School in 1822 and was admitted to the bar in Dedham, Massachusetts, in 1823.
Mann was elected to the Massachusetts legislature in 1827, and in that capacity was instrumental in the interests of education, public charities, and regulations regulating the banning of alcohol and lotteries. In 1833, he established an asylum in Worcester, and he served as chairman of the board of trustees. Mann continued to serve in the legislature as a representative from Dedham until his deposition to Boston in 1833. When he was a member and part of the commission's time committee for the reform of the state laws, a substantial number of salutary provisions were included in the code at his request. He was named one of the editors of the book and compiled its marginal notes and references to judicial decisions after its enactment. He was elected to the Massachusetts State Senate from Boston in 1835 and served as its president in 1836-1837. He served as the Senate majority leader for a time and concentrated on improving transportation, funding, and canal construction.
Mann married Charlotte Messer, the daughter of Brown University's president in 1830. She died two years later on August 1, 1832, but she never fully recovered from the intense sadness and confusion that accompanied her death.
He married Mary Tyler Peabody in 1843. The couple then joined Samuel Gridley Howe and Julia Ward Howe on a double honeymoon to Europe. They then purchased a home in West Newton, Massachusetts, off the corner of Chestnut and Highland Streets. Horace Mann Jr., George Combe Mann, and Benjamin Pickman Mann were among Horace and Mary's three sons: Horace Mann Jr., George Combe Mann, and Benjamin Pickman Mann.
Mann was Samuel Man's great-grandson.
