[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 19 May 1921]

A well respected and beloved citizen of Pelham Township passed quietly away on Sunday in her home in the person of Ruth Arminta, relict of the late Joseph Mansfield, late of Pelham Township. Mrs. Mansfield had been ailing for the past four years and five days previous to her death she had a sudden attack, after which she gradually sank.

The late Mrs. Mansfield was born sixty-eight years ago, the daughter of Moses and Maria Eastman, also of Pelham Township, now deceased. She was therefore a resident of Pelham Township all her life. Mrs. Mansfield was an ardent member of the Methodist Church. One son survives, Albert Mansfield, Deputy Reeve of Pelham Township, and one brother, Edward Eastman, of Pelham, and three sisters, Mrs. David Dair, of Welland; Mrs. Romain Smith of Pelham; and Mrs. W. Foss of Pelham. The funeral services were conducted at her late residence on Tuesday at 2 p.m. by Rev. Mr. Neil, of Fenwick Methodist Church. Interment was made in Dawdy’s cemetery.
