From the Muscatine (Iowa) Weekly Journal, Friday, 20 August 1886:
On last Friday evening Mr. Mansfield received a telegram stating the serious illness of his daughter, Mrs. Summerville, of Topeka, Ka. The next morning, he with Mrs. Mansfield, took the early train for the home of their daughter, where they arrived a few hours before her death, which occurred on Sunday afternoon. The remains were brought here, arriving at 9 p.m., Monday. The funeral will be Wednesday, the 18th at 10 a.m. Mrs. Summerville (nee Ida Mansfield) was married the latter part of last February, and went with her husband to Kansas in May. Her sudden demise is a shock to all. Her childhood and school-girl days were spent in this place and vicinity. She was loved and respected by all and will be sadly missed. All sympathize with parents, brother and sisters in their sad bereavement.
