George Washington Houk was born Nov 20, 1854, probably at the home of his parents in Oakland, now a suburb just north of Joplin, MO. He was only 4½ years old when his father, George Houk, died May 4, 1859, widowing his 24 year old mother with three small children. She married Thomas B. Mansfield on Sep 14, 1860, and they raised the three Houk children and had two more, Lewis Mansfield, b. 1869, and Charlie Mansfield, b. 1873. Not much is known of the young George W. Houk or his childhood in the Joplin area.
