Research note
What the surviving sources tell us.
The Historical Society worksheet indicates that he may have died in office.
The updated Historical Society worksheet lists McCann’s term as 1929-1931 and his death as Dec. 14, 1931. The City’s online list extends the term through 1932, while the 1932 plaque says McCann died Jan. 4, 1932, and R.D. Lackey succeeded him. The 1930 plaque lists H.J. Gaskill as mayor pro tem during McCann’s illness. The City Clerk’s typed list marks McCann “resigned-ill” in 1930 with H.J. Gaskill beneath him, and records him as deceased Jan. 4, 1932.
