Mrs. Martha MANSFIELD, wife of Freeman MANSFIELD, and daughter of Andrew RICHARDS, of DeLand, died on Saturday, April 24, 1886, at Weldon from puerperal fever. She was aged 30 years, 5 months and 14 days. Seven years ago she professed faith in Christ, and united with the M. P. Church. She had made the request years ago that "If Uncle Archie McCONKEY survived her, he should officiate at her funeral." So, on Sunday, at 10 o'clock a.m., the venerable pioneer of the Gospel leaning on his canes, addressed a large and sympathetic audience at the M. E. Church, Weldon, after which her remains were laid to rest by the new-made grave of her child buried two weeks ago. Mrs. Mansfield left no children; only her husband surviving her, together with a large group of relatives and friends. We extend the condolences of the "Circle" to the husband and friends.
