Obituary of Saphronia Shirah Mansfield 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 28 Jun 1929.  

Camilla, Georgia.  
Sale City and surrounding community was 
saddened by the death of Mrs. Fronie Shirah Mansfield, which occurred at the home of 
her daughter, Mrs. Charlie Harris, at Sale City.  Mrs. Mansfield's home was at Leesburg, 
Fla.  She came down here two weeks ago hoping the change would benefit her.  She 
gradually grew worse and the end came Saturday, 22 Jun 1929, at 8:30 AM.  She was the 
daughter of the late A. G. Shirah, of this county, and wife of Morg Mansfield.  Mrs. 
Mansfield was 50 ;years old and has lived in this county most of her life.  To know her 
was to love her.  She was a devoted wife, loving mother and will be sadly missed in her 
community.  Besides her husband, she leaves four children, Mrs. E. E. Rackley of Sale 
City; Alex Mansfield of Albany, Alex Mansfield of Albany and Reggie Mansfield of 
Leesburg.  Also nine grandchildren and seven sisters besides a host of friends and other 
relatives.  The remains were laid to rest Sunday, 23 Jun 1929, afternoon in the Sale City 
cemetery.  Rev W. T. Halstead and Rev W. T. Rigsby conducted the funeral amid a host 
of friends and relatives.  The Vaughn Radio Quartette sand two songs. The family has the 
sympathy of the community of Sale City and Leesburg in their dark hour.  Bit God, who 
doeth all things well and never makes mistakes will heal the wounded hearts and some 
day we will understand.
