A TRIBUTE,

There has recently died in BrOwnfield
one OF our oldest inhabitants. whose life
and character deserve more than a pass.
ing notice.
Asa williams Mansfield WAS born 10
October, 1870, and died April %, 1900
He WAS the oldest son of Asa and Susan
Stickney Mansfield. His fathers family
came from Henniker, y. H., with the
Gibsons, Tylers and Goodenows, who
were among the first settlers Of the town.
His mother was the daughter Of Major
John Stickney, woman OF sterling
qualities, dignified and self-poised, but
of great kindness Of heart. IL was said
Of her by one who knew her well, that
she never let her left hand know what
her right hand did. The poor always
found 10 her friend, and the son iu-
herited these qualities. In his home the
homeless found refuge.
Mr.. Mansfield married Harriet Miller,
q native OF Brownfield, who wss in sym-
patty with her husbands kindness of
heart. They were untiring in their care
Of his mother, who lived 20 ripe old
age, making her last days peaceful and
happy. Three aged and homeless ones
shared their hospitality, two passing
away with them.
Mrs. Mansfield died some four years
ago. Mr.. Mansfield has left daughter
and son and wife. The daughter has
cared for both father and mother during
their long sickness with the utmos,
fidelity, proving again, that with what
measure ye mete it shall be measured 70
you sgsin."
After the death Of his uncle, Des
Samuel Stiekney, Mr.. Mansfield was
chosen deacon OF the Congregational
church. but failing health prevented
active service. he was born, lived and
died in the same home which had been
In the family for three generations, and
has now passed TO the fourth. Mr.
Mansfield WAS quiet and unsssuming,
beloved by large circle Of friends.
One BY one our circles narrow here,
but widen on the other side.
