| Info | Joseph Warren Mansur (December 7, 1808 – February 4, 1892) was an American lawyer, politician, and investor. He represented Lowell, Massachusetts in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1837, and in 1852 represented Fitchburg.[1][2] He served in the Massachusetts Senate representing Middlesex in 1840 and Worcester District in 1854.[1][2][3]
Mansur was born in Pembroke, New Hampshire, the son of Aaron Mansur and Rebecca Warren. He studied at Phillips Academy and graduated from Harvard College and Law School in 1831.[2][4][5] He later settled in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, where he owned a textile mill. He married Anna Fitzpatrick of Ireland and they had four children.
Mansur also held local office, ran unsuccessfully for US Congress in 1842,[6] and ran unsuccessfully for statewide office on the Democratic ticket in 1860. Mansur's eulogy of Daniel Webster (who died in 1852) won him note.[7]
In the early 1860s Mansur moved to Michigan, and in 1863 owned the Kalamazoo Gazette.[8][9] He later lived in Sandwich, Ontario and Lennoxville, Quebec, before returning to Massachusetts where he lived in Duxbury and Milton.[2][4][10] He died in Hyde Park in February 1892
