McCann family, undated, 1934-1965

Biographical / Historical

Mamie McCann (1886- 1970) was born in Flemingsburg, KY in 1886 to John McCann II and Lenora Day. She attended Elizabeth College in North Carolina from 1904-1908. Intermittently, she took classes at the University of Kentucky beginning in 1912 while teaching in the Fayette county public schools until her graduation in 1919. After graduation, she taught in several schools before returning to Flemingsburg due to her mother's ill health and began working in a law office as a clerk while studying for law school. She studied law at the University of Kentucky from 1922 until she was admitted to the bar in 1925. She practiced law in both Lexington and Flemingsburg for the next fifteen years. From 1937 to 1944, while in Flemingsburg practicing law, she also ran the Fleming Business School which prepared women for war work. She then began her work in the federal government as a teacher, stenographer, clerk, and adjudicator until her retirement in 1951. Mamie McCann died in Lexington on May 5, 1970 with no spouse or children.

William McCann (1929- ) was born in 1929 to James Marshall McCann and Henrietta Chandler Prewitt McCann in Clark County, KY. William is the nephew of Mamie McCann.

Scope and Contents

Correspondence, check books, income taxes, bills, genealogical family files, journals, pamphlets, contracts, certificates, an enrollment book, a notebook, a diploma, and a card compose the McCann family series. The bulk of the series consists of Mamie McCann's genealogical research that was later continued by William McCann after her death. These files are organized by family name and include an introduction (Box 32, Folder 8) and inventory list (Box 28, Folder 25). The correspondence of Mamie and William McCann documents the methods and research both used to obtain genealogical information. Other items of note include Mamie's law certificate (Box 49, Folder 2), University of Kentucky diploma (Box 47, Folder 2), and her Daughters of the American Revolution certificate (Box 49, Folder 1).
