Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. 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. Women identified by a married alias only and  for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries.

Samuel B. McConnell, one of Mansfield’s most esteemed citizens, died very suddenly of heart trouble at his home on Elmira Street, Wednesday, July 27, 1927, at 1 p.m. He had been in poor health for some time, but was feeling as well as usual. That day he had been to town in the morning to be shaved, and upon returning home sat down on the porch for a time, then entering the house showed Mrs. McConnell a new hat he had purchased, asked her why she had not called to him to help her in some work about the house, and sat down in his chair in the living room, remarking as he did so that a very severe storm was passing to the north of town; and a moment later concluded that a bolt of lightning went straight down to the ground and must have struck somewhere. These were his last words for later he was found sitting in his chair holding a paper he had been reading, dead. Apparently death had been instantaneous, as there were no signs of suffering, just as though he had dropped into a peaceful sleep. Mr. McConnell was born December 11, 1850, in Sullivan Township, the son of Charles and Nancy Mosher McConnell. December 7, 1874, he was married to Miss Augusta Lewis, Reverend Whiting Beach performing the ceremony at his home on the Newtown Road, now occupied by Halsey Benson.

Five children were born to them Leona (Mrs. Lewis Cruttenden), Edith (Mrs. Charles Benson), Grace (Mrs. Elmer G. Cornwell), Marieva (Mrs. Earl Cruttenden), and Lewis, all of whom are living. Sixteen years ago Mr. McConnell, with E. E. Wood, established the Elmira Street Garage, one of the first garages in Mansfield. Four years later he bought Mr. Wood’s interest and ran the business until last September, when failing health forced him to sell, Robert Wilson buying the business. He has been a member of the borough council for about twenty years, serving on the various committees; always working for the betterment of Mansfield. He was a member of Friendship Lodge, F. & A.M., Mansfield I.O.O.F., and the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a man whose honesty and integrity was unquestioned, and who was held in high esteem by his fellow townsmen. The funeral, which was largely attended; was held from the home, Friday at 2 p.m., Reverend Harold G. Stearns officiating; interment was in Oakwood Cemetery, with Masonic services.

William Andrew McCONNELL, (SRGP 5263) of the boro, was found dead in his bed at an early hour Monday morning. Heart failure was, without doubt, the cause of his death, as he was lying on his right side in exactly the same position he took on retiring the night before. Death had apparently come to him within a few moments after lying down. At the time of the railroad accident here last January Mr. McConnell was injured but not seriously. Since then, however, his health had not been so robust as formerly, and at times he would be compelled to suspend work for a day or two. His condition had at no time been considered alarming, and the news of his death came as a shock to the community.    William A. McCONNELL was born in Bradford County, PA, Oct 23, 1847, and has lived in this vicinity for more than forty years past. During the earlier years of his life he followed the occupation of farming, but for the past seventeen years had been in the employ of W. D. ROSE, of this place. Five years ago he moved to this boro and has resided here since. He was held in high esteem by his fellow citizens and last spring completed a term as member of its Official Board. William A. McCONNELL was a good citizen, an honorable and open-hearted man.    On April 21, 1871, he was married to Ellen A. WATSON, of this boro, and seven children have blessed their union. He is survived by his wife, three sons, Charles W. of Mansfield, Herbert W., of Elmira, and Lee R. of Canton, and four daughters, Mrs. Claude Ely, of East Charleston, Minnie E., Dora E., and Mildred R., all of Mansfield. Besides his wife and children, his aged mother and two brothers, Samuel B. and Allen N., both of Mansfield, also survive him.

Dr. Joseph P Morris died of old age at his home in Mansfield last Saturday. He had been steadily failing in strength and mental vigor for a number of years. He was long identified with the business interests of that part of the county.  Dr. Joseph P Morris was born in Philadelphia in 1809. In 1834 he went to Blossburg when there were but three families residing there, and he helped to open the mines and build the railroad in both of which enterprises he was largely interested. In 1842 he went to Mansfield and remained four years, when he moved to this borough. He resided here eight years, then returned to Mansfield where he spent the remainder of his life. Dr. Morris purchased, about the first time he went to Mansfield, the Asa Mann property, which included about all the land now occupied by the borough. He was always active and enterprising in the work of building up the place. He gave six acres of land as the site for the Mansfield Classical Seminary, now the State Normal School. He also gave the lot for the Episcopal Church. He was very liberal in his gifts to the Normal school and all other Public enterprises. He was a trustee of the school for many years. In 1836 Dr. Morris married Sarah E. daughter of Samuel W. Morris, of this borough who survives him. This aged and respected couple have enjoyed a serene  old age in their beautiful home called “The Wren’s Nest” on an elevation over-looking the borough of Mansfield.
