Mansel W. Rasbury (Rasburry)Mansel Rasbury was born about 1836, Paulding County (Harralson), Georgia and came to Atlanta about 1855 from Draketown with his parents, John C. Rasburyand Delaney Brooks, five brothers and one sister. They were Macajah, Allen,Reubin Lovick, Hosea, John M. and Mahala. They were probably accompanied by slaves.In the Black Oakland Cemetery is the following grave:Raspberry, (John) Winny, October 7, 1860, age 60 years, Raspberry Estate. Mansel's father was shown on the 1859 Atlanta City Directory as a grocer and the 1860 Census and West Tennessee Historical Papers (Vol. XI, pg. 81)showed him to be a Fulton County Constable in 1860 and 1863. Following the Civil War, John Rasbury and most of his family went to Texas, leaving only Mansel in Atlanta, with his wife's Harville family. Mansel, Amanda and Edger L Rasbury were listed in his father's home in 1860, when he was aphotographer. ATLANTA AND ITS ENVIRON, Vol. I (Frank M. Garrett) have an ad for Dill & Raspberry, Fine Art Gallery, a new gallery in Parker's new building on Whitehall St., opposite Beach and Root's. Mansel also was listed in the1859 City Directory. Mansel's first wife, Amanda Witcher, daughter of Diskin Witcher and Sarah Brooks, is the first burial in the Rasbury plot. She was born in 1841, married Mansel Rasbury, August 23, 1857 in Paulding Co., Georgia, and died June 18, 1861 of tuberculosis. She left one son, Edgar L. Rasbury who joined his grandfather, John C. Rasbury, in Texas about 1872 and is buried in Lampasas City Cemetery, Lampasas, Texas, near him. Amanda's obituary was published in the Atlanta Journal. On August 10, 1862, Atlanta, Mansel married Mary B. Harville, daughter of William H. Harville, in Atlanta. They had Fanny, Nonie, William H., John Calhoun Rasbury and perhaps other children. Mansel and Mary's family remained in the Greater Atlanta area until recent years. Mansel served in Confederate Cobb's Legion, Company A., G. He may also be the M. W.Raspberry who served in Company F, 3 Batt. , Sligood, and in the 2nd Brig.,Georgia State, as a Captain.In 1867, Mansel Rasbury was listed in the Atlanta City Directory under the Municipal government as a policeman, paid $2.25 a day, living on Fort Street between Foster and Wheat. This was land sold him for $5 by Mary's father on February 22, 1867. March 5, 1872, on a Tuesday night, Detective Rasbury and his partner, E. C.Murphy were on a lookout for the robbers of the Fort Valley Bank of Decatur and Prior Streets. Penn Bedell and another man were stopped and questioned and Bedell shot Rasbury with his own pistol, having grabbed at it when Rasbury drew. Mansel's obituary and several long articles regarding this shooting appeared in the Atlanta Journal. Mansel, age 35, was buried in Oakland Cemetery with Amanda, in Section 8, Lot 329. Other members of the family filled the remaining places. His wife's father, William H. Harpole, administered his estate. He had been a member of Tallulah Fire Company and the Atlanta Lodge 59 F. & A. M. Mary Rasbury died at age 82, September 15,1929, and was buried with her husband.On November 14, 1901, William H. Rasbury, son of Mansel and Mary, was crushed between two street cars on Peach and Walton Street. He was age 33, an attache of Piemont Turf Exchange, and was buried in the family plot. He had lived at 196 Chapel Street with his wife, Nellie (Brady). Nellie died at age 82, July 22, 1939 in Atlanta.
The above paragraphs I received in response to a question about the family on a genealogy web forum. Please note there are some spelling errors regarding the family names. An additional note, Mansell's name is on the National Police Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. Feel free to post what you like!
