R. S. Man
The Old Miller
from "Southeast Corner of Tarrant County Before the Civil War"
by Sallie Hodges McKnight
These two founders, Captain Feild and R. S. Man, were opposite in temperament and appearance. R. S. Man, a quiet and reticent man from North Carolina, who loved nothing more than a good book in his own home, presented a striking contrast to Captain Feild, who was physically big, decidedly optimistic, and liked to take an active part in organization and secret orders, and while Captain Feild later sought new fields of endeavor, Mr. Man cast his lot with the people of Mansfield and was known as "the old miller" and the father of Mansfield. Captain Feild was from Harrison County.
