  A. MANSFIELD, superintendent of the paper-mills of the Mount Holly 
Paper Company, Mount Holly Springs, was born in Berkshire County, 
Mass., March 20, 1825, son of William and Martha (Granger) Mansfield, 
also natives of that State and of English descent; they were parents of 
two children.  Albert, the eldest, received his schooling in his native 
county, and for a time was employed in his father's store; afterward he 
learned to manufacture paper in his father's paper-mill, and in 1859 
came to Cumberland County, Penn., accepting the superintendency of 
Mount Holly Paper-mill, which position he still fills with honor to 
himself and credit to his employers.  He was united in marriage, 
December 3, 1850, with Miss Harriet E. Munson, born in Connecticut and 
of English origin.  This union has been blessed with one child, Eva D., 
now the wife of Clarence J. Reddig, a merchant in Shippensburg, a 
graduate of Eastman National Business College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and 
a member of the class of 1877 of Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, 
Penn.  He is well known throughout the State as a Sabbath-school 
worker.  Mr. Mansfield is a Republican in politics.
