Mondell, Frank (Wheeler) (1860–1939)| US representative. In the US House of Representatives (Republican, Wyoming; 1895–97, 1899–1923) he advocated rapid expansion in the West and opposed the conservation efforts of the Forest Service, thereby angering President Theodore Roosevelt. |
| Born in St Louis, Missouri, and orphaned at age seven, he was raised by a minister in rural Iowa before heading west where he prospected for coal and discovered the Cambria coal mine in the late 1880s. |
