M. G. Mann, 68, former general manager of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Assn. and The Farmers Cooperative Exchange, was buried at Montlawn Cemetery after funeral services at Hayes Barton Methodist Church.

Mann, a Tar Heel farm leader born in Newport, had led two major farm cooperatives and received the State Grange award in 1951 and Progressive Farmer magazine’s 1956 Man of the Year in service to NC agriculture.
