Louis Mayfield was born on February 15, 1869 in Hilham, Overton county, Tennessee. He was the eight child of nine children born to John and Lucinda Amanda (Walker) Mayfield.
Louis Mayfield was first married to Floyd Whiteaker (m. 27 July 1889). Floyd passed away 26 February 1893 in Jackson county, Tennessee (maybe in child birth). Louis and Floyd had one daughter, Lena (born 23 April 1890 in Gainesboro). While she lay dying Floyd asked her sister Lear to marry Louis and rear Lena (who was about three year old at the time), which Lear did a short time later.
Louis married Lear Whiteaker, they were united in marriage on 19 April 1893 in Gainesboro, Jackson county, Tennessee. They were married for 44 years, 10 months, and 23 days.
Lear and Louis Mayfield were the parents of four daughters, one son, and one child that passed away in infancy. They were Nellie (Mrs. Wiley Davis), Julia (Mrs. Jack Huddleston), Charlie Mayfield, Sallie (Mrs. Ray Ewing), and Jessie (Mrs. John Bratcher).
In about 1904/1905 Louis and Lear left Tennessee and started moving west. The lived for a short time in Lanton, Howell county, Missouri, afterwards they lived for a time in Dewey county, Oklahoma Territory on a claim south of Lenora on the J.V. Flats, then sometime in the summer of 1907 they returned to Howell county, Missouri and resided there until sometime in 1910 before moving to Wray, Yuma county, Colorado with the idea of homesteading there, and yet later (around 1911) moved to the Hoppings community near Wayne, McClain county, Oklahoma.
Louis passed away on March 14, 1938 in McClain county, Oklahoma at the age of 69 years and 27 days.
He was laid to rest at the Hillside Cemetery in Purcell, Mcclain county, Oklahoma next to his wife Lear where they rest from their labours until they rise on Resurrection Morning to greet our Risen Lord.
Lord Jesus Christ, by your own three days in the tomb, you hallowed the graves of all who believe in you and so made the grave a sign of hope that promises resurrection even as it claims our mortal bodies.
Grant that our brother may sleep here in peace until you awaken him to glory, for you are the resurrection and the life.
Trusting in God, we have prayed together for our brother and now we come to the last farewell. There is sadness in parting, but we take comfort in the hope that one day we shall see him again and enjoy his friendship. Although we will disperse in sorrow, the mercy of God will gather us together again in the joy of his kingdom. Therefore let us console one another in the faith of Jesus Christ.
