Mansfield, Emmer:
"Prominent Colored
Man Killed While Repairing Tire on Road.”
Paul Jones, Discharged of Charges Before
Examining Court. "Charges against Paul
Jones, growing out of the death of Emmer
Mansfield, were dismissed by Judge J. R.
White at the examining trial yesterday
morning. Owing to the large crowd that
attended the hearing it became necessary to
use the Circuit Court Room. "J. E.
Mansfield, one of our most useful and
influential colored men, was almost
instantly killed last Friday night, when he
was struck by a car driven by Paul Jones, a
well known citizen, and connected with some
of our best families. It seems that
Mansfield had a flat tire and stopped and
while stooped over fixing the tire Mr.
Jones, who was coming from the Fair, struck
Mansfield with his car, knocking him under
his own car and in some way his neck was
broken causing practically instant death. A
Coroner's jury was empanelled which brought
in the following verdict: "We, the jury,
find from the evidence that J. E. Mansfield,
colored, came to his death by being hit by a
car driven by Paul Jones, and knocked under
the said Mansfield's car and in the fall
some way said Mansfield's neck was broken,
near C. H. Hatchett's residence. /s/ W. C.
Pritchard, R. D. Matthews, Henry J. Bowles,
J.S. Redford, J. T. Cloyd, C. E. Graves.
Attest: W. M. Watkins, Coroner, Barren
County Kentucky. "Mansfield was about 60
years of age, a leader among his people and
was a leading member of the Baptist Church
and active in all of its work. He was a
member of the firm of Mansfield Bros.,
contractors, who have done a vast amount of
work around town. He was absolutely
reliable, and his untimely death will be a
serious loss to his relatives and his race,
ad well as to Glasgow, for he was a live
wire and very useful to this community. "The
Colored Baptist Association was in progress
in Glasgow and Mansfield was very active in
the work and had two colored preachers in
his car when the accident occurred. "He
leaves his mother, Aunt Lou Mansfield, 86
years old, his wife and one brother, Bud
Mansfield." Burial Barlow-Mansfield

“TALBOTT
CALDWELL, an old colored man, was
drowned in the Bradford mill ford of Beaver
Creek last Friday evening. He was returning
from mill when his horse fell in the creek.
The waters – running swiftly from recent
rains – swept him off his feet and he was
washed down the stream some distance before
going under the last time. Mr. Charley Boles
was attracted to the spot by the cries of
those who witnessed the occurrence. He
sprang into the creek and searched around
the spot where Talbott was last seen to
sink, but to no purpose. Several Negro men
standing around were entreated to save him,
which they could have easily done – the
water being but about heart deep. They
utterly refused to go into the water. The
drowned man was old, decrepit, and inform
which, of course, contributed so little to
the ease with which he was drowned. The
remains were recovered Sunday about noon.
