SAMUEL J. MAYFIELD

Samuel Mayfield, well known to many people of Payette, died at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. L. M. Attebery of Ryderwood, Washington on January 9th, 
following a short illness of pneumonia.  His body was brought to Payette on 
Last Monday, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Attebery, and Marvin Mayfield, a 
son living at Baker, Oregon, and the funeral was held at the Christian church, 
Wednesday, January 14th at 10:00 a.m., conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mitchell.
Samuel J. Mayfield was born at Worrier Station, Alabama, October 24th, 1852, 
where he continued to live until 1889 when he moved with his family to Texas.  
In 1898, in a covered wagon he brought his family to Payette where the 
following year his wife passed away, leaving him with a family of ten children, 
one an infant but a few days old.  With the help of the other children, a 
father’s love and determination, the family was kept together in their modest 
little home--recorded in the memory of many people of Payette as a noble father 
who experienced considerable hardships, but has now gone to his reward.
Mr. Mayfield became a member of the Christian church many years ago and was one 
of the most faithful in that organization never failing to attend when 
possible.  His every day life was an example of a true Christian man.
For more than 22 years Mr. Mayfield was employed by the Oregon Short Line 
railroad at Payette, retiring on account of matured years, but a short time 
ago.  
The deceased is survived by six sons, and two daughter.  One son Jesse passing 
away in 1901 at the age of 15 years, and one daughter, Mrs. Fernando Coulter 
died in 1919.  The surviving children are E. W. Mayfield, Loyalest Alberta, 
Canada; Andrew J. Mayfield, Caldwell, Idaho; Oliver Mayfield of Payette; Harvey 
Mayfield of Nirdman, Idaho; I. F. Mayfield, Klamath Falls, Oregon; Marvin 
Mayfield of Baker, Oregon; Mrs. H. D. Smith, Redman, Oregon and Mrs. L. M. 
Attebery of Riderwood, Washington.
