Newton Mann was descended through his father, Darwin H. Mann, from Richard Mann of Scituate, Massachussets, who emigrated from England about 1644; and through his mother, Cordelia Newton, from Richard Newton, who was a freeman of Marlboro, Massachussets, in 1645. Born in Cazenovia, N. Y. , the first of five children, all surviving.
He was educated at Cazenovia Seminary, but was obliged to shorten his schooling at the death of his father in 1844 and take up the responsibilities of farming. So successfully, however, did he combine his duties with self-culture that at twenty he was acquainted with the best literature and philosophy of the day, notably Emerson, Renan, and Spencer, and had command of five languages.
While on a visit to relatives in Wisconsin (1856 - 59) he came in contact with many Midwest Liberals and was engaged to supply the pulpit of the First Unitarian Church in Cincinnati (1859). A copy of Darwin's newly published Origin of Species came into his hands and prompted a sermon on "The Implication of Darwin's Philosophy, " containing the first accurate forecast in the American pulpit of the effect of the hypothesis upon religious thought: "The Origin of Species marks a determining break in the whole history of thought. The theory of special creations, of man, of everything that falls within the realm of nature is from now on effectually disposed of. . .. Disposing of the special creation of Adam brings the fall of the doctrine of original sin. With the fall of the doctrine of original sin falls the Christian scheme of redemption and atonement. " Such avowals made him an undesirable person even in the Unitarian pulpit of the day and he became principal of the school in Alton, Ill. , whence, in 1861, he was called to be superintendent of the Western Sanitary Commission's soldiers' home at Vicksburg. Returning to the North and the ministry, he was ordained in 1865 as minister of the Unitarian Church in Kenosha, Wis. , which he had organized. Three years later he became pastor of the Unitarian Society in Troy, N. Y. , and in 1870 he was called to the Unitarian Church in Rochester, N. Y. , where he remained until 1888. In 1889 he became minister of the First Unitarian Church in Omaha, Nebr. Here he continued the cultural and scientific educational work he had begun in the Fortnightly Club of Rochester by founding Unity Club, the liberal and progressive programs of which exerted a profound influence upon the city. During these years he published The Evolution of a Great Literature (1905, 1906), a lucid, scholarly presentation of modern Biblical criticism, and The Import and Outlook of Socialism (1910), in which he compared modern socialism with early Christianity, maintaining that "to perfect the great work and really bring peace among men, it needs that Christ come again, and with a more inclusive gospel, reaching to and moulding outward conditions as well as the inward spirit. " In addition to the published prose mentioned, Mann wrote many poems, usually upon religious or philosophic themes, which have never been collected, although his translation and adaptation of the Jewish hymn, "Praise to the Living God, " is found in many hymnals. His death in Chicago at the age of ninety closed a life of remarkable mental vigor, independence, and originality.

Mr. Mann lived in the stirring times when evolution was a subject of keen discussion in the churches and for years his sermons were printed in the public press. He was also a trenchant writer and among other books published in 1905 the Evolution of a Great Literature, one of the best books setting forth the results of the higher criticism of the Bible. It provided for the general reader the conclusions of the students of the Bible about the dates, authorship, composition and purposes of the books. It traced “the growth of a people’s literature and its gradual elevation in spirituality and power. ”
On August 8, 1857, he married ElizaJ. Smith, who died in 1908; by her he had four children. On August 20, 1912, he married Rev. M. Rowena Morse of Chicago.
