William Delbert Gann was born June 6, 1878, in Lufkin, Texas, to Sam H.
and Susan R. Gann, immigrants to Texas from
the British Isles. Lufkin is midway between Houston and Texarkana. This part of Texas is cotton country and Gann's parents lived on a NechesRiver bottom cotton ranch near Lufkin. He grew up around the cotton
warehouses in AngelinaCounty where cotton was king. W. D. Gann
was raised in a very strict Methodist church family. His mother, a very
religious person, encouraged him to read the Bible at a very early age, and in
fact, wanted him to become a minister. Gann was not sure he wanted to become a
minister, but studying the Bible was certainly easier than working in the
cotton fields, as was his father's wish. He attended church every Sunday with
his parents and as he listened tothe sermons found his interpretation of the
Bible scriptures to differ from the minister's. In the Bible he discovered time
cycles, repetition of important numbers, and references to the wise men
following the stars. Also, that it was written in veiled language that made
interpreting the real meaning difficult.Since Gann had a photographic memory,
by age 21 he had nearly memorized the Bible.
