Mansfield City Cemetery, Mansfield

The land for Mansfield City Cemetery was deeded for the Cumberland Section by Ralph Man in 1876. Another section is the Bratton Family section dedicated to the descendants of the Bratton family. The T.E. Blessing section was dedicated by Mr. Ernie Blessing. He and his wife Hattie owned a furniture store and the funeral home. Hattie was the first licensed female embalmer in the state of Texas. Early settlers were buried here and helped found the town by starting churches, schools, gristmills, and civic organizations.
