US Congressman, Lawyer. He was a United States Representative from the State of Oklahoma. He was born one of three children as John Henry Jarman Jr. to John Henry Jarman Sr. (1883-1970), and his wife Lou Neal Jones Jarman (1882-1970), in Sallislaw, Oklahoma, on July 17, 1915. He was educated locally in the common public schools of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and at Westminster Presbyterian College in Fulton, Missouri, from 1932 to 1934, and eventually, he then studied and graduated from the prestigious Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1937, and the prestigious Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1941. Following his education, he was admitted to the bar and he commenced his practice of law in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. During World War II, he put his law career on hold and enlisted with the rank of Private in the United States Army to serve his country on January 12, 1942, only about one month after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. He served in the Security Intelligence Cops, and was assigned to the United Nations Conference in California before being discharged from active military service with the rank of Master Sergeant on December 11, 1945. Following his military service, he returned to his practice of law in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and began an interest in politics shortly thereafter. He was elected to serve a term as a Member of the Oklahoma State House of Representatives from 1947 to 1948, and a term as a Member of the Oklahoma State Senate from 1949 to 1950. He then decided to run for a seat in the United States Congress and was elected to succeed the outgoing United States Representative Almer Stillwell "Mike" Monroney (1903-1980), on January 3, 1951. A Member of the Democratic Party, he then served Oklahoma's 5th District (Eighty-Second District and the twelve succeeding Congress including the Eighty-Third Congress, the Eighty-Fourth Congress, the Eighty-Fifth Congress, the Eighty-Sixth Congress, the Eighty-Seventh Congress, the Eighty-Eighth Congress, the Eighty-Ninth Congress, the Ninetieth Congress, the Ninety-First Congress, the Ninety-Second Congress, and the Ninety-Third Congress), in the United States House of Representatives from January 3, 1951, to January 3, 1977. He changed his party affiliation to Republican and served the 5th District (Ninty-Fourth Congress), in the United States House of Representatives from January 24, 1975, to January 3, 1977. He initially had switched his political parties from Democratic to Republican in protest of the removals of United States Representative Felix Edward Hébert (1901-1979), United States Representative John William Wright "Wright" Patman (1893-1976), and United States Representative William Robert Poage (1899-1987), from their committee chairmanships. He claimed that the United States House of Representatives Democratic Caucus had changed over the years and had elements that "force their liberal views on this United States Congress and on this country by nullifying the seniority system and punishing those who do not adhere to the liberal party line as laid down by the caucus." While serving in the United States Congress, he did not sign the 1956 Southern Manifesto and voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1960, the 24th Amendment to the United State Constitution, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but not the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Civil Rights Act of 1968. He was originally elected in 1950, and re-elected in 1952, 1954, 1956, 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1970, 1972, and 1974. He declined to seek re-election to the United States House of Representatives in 1976. Following his time in the United States Congress, he was succeeded in office by United States Representative Marvin Henry "Mickey" Edwards on January 3, 1977. After United States Representative Marvin Henry "Mickey" Edwards won the seat, the 5th District remained in the Republican Party's hands until United States Representative Kendra Suzanne Horn unseated Steven Dane "Steve" Russell in the 2018 midterm elections approximately 42 years later. After leaving the United States Congress, he resumed his practice of law in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, until his death on January 15, 1982. On an interesting note, he spent much of his later life in Mexico and with his children and their families in Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Colorado. He also loved animals, especially small dogs, horseback riding, and the rough wilderness of Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Colorado. He passed away from a rare form of skin cancer at the Presbyterian Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on January 15, 1982, at the age of 67. Following his death, he was cremated and his ashes were buried in Rose Hill Burial Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was married to Ruth Virginia Bewley Jarman (1917-1964), with whom he had three children.
