James Evans MANGUM, COLONEL,U.S.ARMY

                       Served in the U.S.Army and retired with the rank of Col. He was on General
    Pershing's staff, and wrote many of his speeches.  He also wrote many speeches
    for other high ranking officers, and quite possibly wrote the speech that Gen.
    Douglas McArthur gave at the signing of the Japanese surrender, as there is a
    rough draft of the actual speech among his memorbilia.  He was greatly involved
    in the American Battlefields National Monument Commission.  He wrote and
    received letters from Dwight Eisenhower. He served on the Board of Directors
    at the Riggs Bank after retirement. He was a romantic, and wrote beautiful
    poetry, and was also published in the Banking Industry trade Journal.  All
    indications show that he was a great fan of General Pershing.  His discharge
    papers indicate that he served as Assistant Executive Officer and Acting
    Executive Officer for the Adjutant General, War Department,Wash. D.C.  He
    served in similar capacity for the Adjutant General, General Headquarters,
    United States Army Forces, Pacific, In Manila, Philippine Island, and Tokyo,
    Japan. He also served as Intelligence Officer, the Adjutant General's Office,
    Washington D.C.  He served from 1 Jan 1942 until 24 Nov. 1946, and had been in
    the Reserves at least from 1921. He received the Legion of Merit in 1947. and
    retired in 1954 after serving thirty-four years and six months in the Army. It
    is not clear if he had more than one marriage, or if he had offspring.  There
    is no mention about him having any children in his writings, but there is some
    evidence that leads one to belive that there may have been another marriage when
    he was younger. He was President of th 1916 sophmore class at Young Harris
    College, a Methodist college named after Judge Young L. G. Harris, located in
    Young Harris, GA.  He was on the Young Harris debating society, the Temperance
    Society, and was center on the sophmore basketball team.  (Source:  1916 class
