These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH.

CHIEF-OF-POLICE R. D. BRYANT diedSUNDAY EVENING
(D. Ransom Bryant SRGP 05649)
A shade of sadness passed through the hearts of the people of Mansfield
on Sunday evening, on hearing the announcement that Ransom Bryant had died.
He had been ill for some time, but everybody, had been hoping all the time
that there would soon be a change for the better, and that it would not
be long before the genial face of our long-time friend would be again seen
on our busy streets. Everybody was his friend, as indeed he himself was
everybody’s friend. We hear it often said that there is nobody that does
not have enemies, but this is a mistaken adage, and our friend Ransom’s
life was a sufficient proof of his. While he was a most efficient officer,
always doing his duty as he saw it, yet he somehow made no enemies, even
with those whom he was obliged to use force sometimes in landing in the
"cooler". Ransom Bryant was a man among men. Unlike some men who have donned
a blue coat and brass buttons, he was never officious or offensive, but
always of a retiring though genial nature and disposition. Mr. Bryant’s
funeral was held at his late home this afternoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. Harold
G. Stearns, pastor of the Mansfield Methodist Church, officiating. Burial
was in Prospect Cemetery.The business places of Mansfield were closed from
two to three o’clock out of respect for Officer Bryant, who had spent so
many years guarding them at night.Mr. Bryant was born in Rutland township,
sixty-six years ago. His parents were David and Lucinda Smith Bryant. He
was first married on December 9, 1883, to Miss Sarah Horton, who died some
years ago. He afterwards married Miss Grace Mary Precit, on December 17,
1917, who survives him with three children; Lee of Williamsport; Ollie,
Mrs. Vernon Tuttle and Fred of East Point.Mr. Bryant was an officer in
the Patriotic Order Sons of American lodge of this place, and also a member
of the Red Men Lodge. He has held the office of Chief of Police of Mansfield
for twenty-five years. (handwritten on article Mar. 18, 1928)
RANSOM D. BRYANT (SRGP 05649)
Ransom D. Bryant died at his home in Mansfield March 18, after

Mansfield. Mr. Bryant was special policeman for about 25 years, and it
was while on duty September 18 that he was stricken with an illness from
which he never recovered. He was held in high esteem by all.
He was a member of the P. O. S. of A. and Red Men. Mr. Bryant was born
in Rutland township, 66 years ago, son of David and Lucinda Smith Bryant.
December 9, 1883, he married Sarah J. Horton. Three children were

(pp.7-8) See Her GAR Post 48 Book of
Soldier Biographies
Miss Byrissa B. Butts, one of the oldest residents of this county, died at her home in Mansfield, PA, at sundown on Sunday evening, Feb. 10, 1907, after being confined to her room over nine weeks, the result of a severe fall. Miss Butts was born in Canterbury, Conn., Mar. 31, 1820 being the eldest child of Lorin and Harriet Hyde Butts. At the age of nine years she came with her parents to Lawrenceville, PA, where they lived for three years. Her father designed and built the Presbyterian Church at that place, which is supposed to be the first regular church edifice in Tioga Co. In 1833 they moved to Mansfield, purchasing for their home the property upon which the homestead now stands. When but seventeen years of age her mother died, leaving to her care the five younger children, the youngest of whom was but four years old. She cheerfully took up the duties dropped from her mother’s hands, and discharged them faithfully and well. The county was new and the family passed through many a struggle in those early years, but through it all she was hopeful and trustful, and by her wise guidance and care the family grew to young manhood and womanhood with as many advantages as it was possible to give them. One by one the children left the old homestead until finally she and her father and her brother, Dyer, were the only one remaining. The three lived together for many years until the death of her father, and the marriage of her brother, left her the sole proprietor of the old homestead. Nothing could induce her to leave the home of her youth, although she had many hearty invitations from her brother and his wife to make her home with them. Miss Butts was up to date in her reading, and took an interest in all the current events of the day. She had always enjoyed good health and scarcely knew what sickness was. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and took a deep interest in all departments of church work. Her firm faith in God was remarkable. It gave her strength and courage to take up the heavy burden of her early life and made her old age serene and beautiful. On Dec. 7th of 1906, she tripped on a rug in her dining room sustaining a fall, from the effects of which she never rallied. During the two months, which followed, she was tenderly cared for by loving relatives and friends. With all her suffering she was patient and hopeful, and to all appearances she was gradually gaining when the end came. She had been sitting up all day and had just lain down again when a change came over her and in a short time she had gone to her Heavenly home. Her niece, Miss Alice Butts, and a friend, who had been assisting in caring for her, were at her bedside when she died. One sister, Mrs. Lucy A. McIntyre, of Punxsutawney, PA, and two brothers, Dyer J. of Mansfield, and Lorin H. of Brooklyn, NY, survive her; two sisters, Harriet H. and Mrs. Jean M. Allen, having preceded her to the other world. The funeral was held at her home at 12:20PM Wednesday, the service being conducted by her pastor, Rev. N.J. Gregory. The burial was in Hope Cemetery. “Amiable, she won all; intelligent she charmed all; fervent she loved all; and dead she is missed by all” Resolution of Gen. Mansfield Post GAR
