William H. Mansfield, 77 Dies After Illness of More Than Six Years.” [Transcribed on April

Mrs. William H. {Alice M.} MANSFIELD, aged seventy-seven, is dead after an illness of more
than six years. She was a daughter of Thomas and Ursula {MOORE} EDINGTON, pioneer
residents, and spent her entire life in this county.
She was active in education, club and church work and organized Parent-Teacher
Associations in a number of schools of the county, and it was through her efforts that the
clubs of Greene County became federated.
She wrote verse published in newspapers and was in demand as a reader. She and her
husband, who has long been in business here, celebrated their golden wedding a years ago.
Surviving are the husband, a son Lester MANSFIELD, Indianapolis; three grandsons, also of
Indianapolis; a brother, Leonard EDINGTON, Lyons, and a sister, Mrs. Pearl MCLAUGHLIN,
Linton.
Funeral services will be held this afternoon at the Christian church, of which she had
long been a member.
