Notes
a. Note:   A carpenter by trade. Retired in 1974.
  Robin Mansfield was an average build, with black hair and dark complexion. He was 5' 8" in height and his normal weight was 165-175.
  He grew up in Cominto, Drew County, Arkansas on a farm and was raised in a Christian home by his parents Maude Gertrude Carmack and Nathaniel Mansfield. His dad was a railroad engineer, so the children had to help with the farm while he was away. At that time farm work was more important than an education, so his education was limited. His math skills were outstanding for a man with limited education. He could figure numbers in his head faster than most people could do it on paper.
  Robin joined the CC Camp and was taught his carpentry skills through the CC Camp. He was 26 years old when he met and married Estelle Hart from Centerpoint, Drew County, Arkansas. They had 2 sons and 4 daughters and adopted a grandson. Their oldest son died in a hunting accident, which was tragic for the entire family.
  His trade carried him to many different job sites across the USA and even to Nome, Alaska. During the war he worked in the ship yards in San Francisco. He worked many different places across Arkansas such as building the Pine Bluff Arsenal, the paper mills, the Missile bases in Arkansas. Later in life he spent working on the freeway river bridge across the Arkansas River at Little Rock, and building the lock and dams on the Arkansas River in Little Rock. He helped to build many of the Pulaski County Schools, shopping malls, Sears Stores, and the last job he worked on before he retired was the First Federal Bank building in Little Rock.
  They built a home in Hamburg, Ashley County, Arkansas where they retired. After Estelle died he was lonesome and restless and returned to Little Rock area where he lived with one of his daughters, until the last two years of his life. He had only been in the nursing home one month when he died; until then he had lived alone for the past two years in a senior citizen retirement duplex.
  Daddy passed through this life noted as a giver, never a taker, sharing everything he had with his family and friends. His retirement years were spent gardening and spending time with his family. His main complaint was his loneliness after Mother died. His last words to us girls was, "Go out and have dinner on me when you leave the nursing home tonight". His last wish was to hold the picture of mother before he died.
  This is ironic, Robin died December 02, 2000 on his brother Odelma's birthday; and 18 years before, Odelma died on Robin's birthday, June 07, 1982.
