Virgil Mansfield June 1897 
Barren County KyArchives Obituaries

Glasgow (KY) Daily Times, 16 June 1897
"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."
