FANNIE MASON WINFIELD

   A gloom of sadness was cast over the community of Sedley Monday evening, 
Dec. 27, at 6:30 o’clock at the death of Mrs. Fannie Mason Winfield after a 
period of ill health, which she had endured most patiently for several months. 
She leaves to mour their loss her husband, Mr. G.W. Winfield, a prominent 
citizen of Sedley; four daughters, Miss Susie Mason, Pattie Louis, and Janet 
Atkinson Winfeild of Sedley and Mrs. T. Maynard De Shazo of Monets: a sister, 
Miss Millie Mason, and a brother, Mr. George Mason, City Attorney of 
Petersburg.

    Mrs. Winfield was a woman of noble Christian character. In her home life she 
was a faithful and loving wife and mother, great hearted and genial. Her delight 
was in making others happy and her deeds of charity were many.

    The body was taken through the country to the former home of the deceased 
and interred in the family section of Field’s Cemetery near Jarrett. The funeral 
was held at the grave and was largely attended. The beautiful and impressive 
services were conducted by Rev. W.L. Burks of Courtland, assisted by Rev. E.K. 
Odell of Richmond. There were many lovely floral tributes. The pallbearers were 
Active L.R. Urquhart, J.W. Edwards, S.H. barker, G.S. Cornwell, W.F. Lewis, Sr., 
J.E. Butler, O.J. High, Cecil Owen, Mann Owen and Dr. Vaiden Thornton; honorary 
J.M. Tyus, A.J. Greene, James Conway, W.L. Williams, J.H. Boyd, Dr. T.F. 
Jarratt, Dr. O. C. Wright, Edgar Bass, Phillip Rogers, Clyde Wellons and J.C. 
Clemmons.

    While tender hands laid the body to rest, the host of friends who had 
gathered paid a last tribute of love to her who having lived the life victorious 
had entered the life triumphant.
