military background.
His grandfather was a clergyman
and fought with Washington in the
Revolution. His grandmother was
a cousin of Thomas Jefferson. His
father, Col. Joseph Jefferson Mans
field, was killed near Coal River
fighting with the Virginia Militia of
the Confederate Army. His son and
namesake was but six months old.
In 1886 young Mansfield followed
the military tradition by organizing
two companies of Texas Volunteers
and held the rank of captain in the
State Militia.
Came to Congress in 1917.
Mr.. Mansfield came to Congress
in 1917, month before the United
States declared war on Germany.
He became experienced in matters
that made him one of the key legis-
lators in national defense measures
during World War II.
His associates said he never took
a planned vacation. In one of the
few illusions to his affliction, he
once said: II must keep working
constantly. I find it much easier
that way"
His determination to carry on
was best shown in 1922, when he
was stricken with a rare bone dis
ease that crippled him. From his
bed in Walter Reed Hospital, he
helped steer rivers and harbors
bill concerning Texas.
During a critical moment Of the
fight, Mr.. Mansfield ordered a
stretcher and was carried to the
Capitol. He managed to get into
his wheel chair and to push the
bill through.
Later when his committee pro-
iected a trip to Alaska or Puerto
Rico where Government dredges
were preparing a way for American
commerce, he hitched his wheel
chair into railroad car. boat or
automobile and went along.
His zeal for work almost cost him
his life once. Alone in his Colum-
bus Office one summer day, fire
broke out. He was helpless. and
only the rescue work of an Episco-
palian priest and several Boy
Scouts saved him just before the
walls fell in.
Tested With Colleagues.
In the early l93os Mr.. Mansfield
would come rushing through the
corridors in the wheel chair looking
for all the world like a mounted
militiaman. He liked to play a lit
tie game with his colleagues.
boy, boy!" he would bark to the
nearest one. Want to earn another
nickel? Open the gate"
Some one would open the swing
ing doors and he would propel him.
self to his special stand, there to
command attention with his up
standing shock of gray hair and
bristling gray mustache. He was a
popular, respected member of his
company.
In September, 1916, some Of his
neighbors and friends honored the
veteran lawmaker by unveiling a
memorial tablet at Mansfield Dam
named for him in recognition OF
long years of unselfish public serv-
Ice"
In latter years members of the
House have paused on his birthday,
February 9, to honor him with a
party. The extent of the esteem in
which he was held was measured by
the Republican enthusiasm at such
