"Mr. Virgil Mansfield died at the residence of Mrs. George C.
Young in Tracey last Friday night. Mr. Mansfield had been in ill health
for some time, and was a suferer from kidney trouble. He at one time
resided on the Buford farm in the lower edge of the county, and was well
known all over that section. A few years ago he abandoned farming and
stock trading, secured a position with Avery and Sons, of Louisville,
and rose so rapidly in the esteem of the firm that he was soon placed at
the head of their Texas branch establishment in Dallas, Texas. Shortly
afterwards he was married to Miss Lola Young, one of the belles of South
Barren, and the daughter of the late Hon. Gel. C. Young of Tracey.
"Mr. Mansfield was a gentleman of the utmost honesty and probity
of character, a thorough gentleman, and a wide-awake, energetic young
business man, who, had he been spared, would have a high mark in the
mercantile world. The sympathy of a host of friends is with the young
wife in her bereavement and sorrow.
"The remains were interred in the Young family burying ground in
Tracey Saturday afternoon last."
Not found in the Young cemetery or any other location.
