This is an excerpt taken from a book entry dedicated to his son Alfred S. Mayfield in a "History of Macoupin County Illinois" (published 1911), Volume II, Pages 16-17:
"The father, Manning Mayfield, was reared in the south, where, after the completion of his education, he followed the vocation of teaching. He was one of the pioneer merchants of Montgomery County, Illinois, having for some years successfully conducted a store in Zanesville, but removed to Metropolis, Illinois, about the time of the breaking out of the Civil War. His demise occurred in the vicinity of Carbondale, when he was out riding, having been killed, supposedly, for his money. He was about sixty at the time of his death. He was a son of Luke and a grandson of Stephen Mayfield. The family is of English descent and its members have always been well educated."
