First Photograph: Ira Thomas Stanfield holding Ira Dennis Stanfield, Helen Floyd Stanfield, Mary Hilmo Stanfield, Mary Ella Hamlin Stanfield, c. 1912.
Last Photograph (House): A note on the back of the above photograph written by Mona Frederick to her brother Richmond Stanfield Frederick identifies people in the photograph as: Uncle Ira's children on the left; Uncle Walter & family on the right, along with "granma Stanfield". Walter and Eula (Beulah) are shown with three small children. The youngest appears to be around two years old. The picture must have been taken before July 18, 1928, which was the date of Walter's death.
Apparently never married. He went by Dennis.
_______________
Ira Dennis Stanfield was born in Roxboro, North Carolina, June 16, 1910, the son of Ira Thomas and Mary Ella Hamlin Stanfield. His mother had died on his fifth birthday; his father had sold his home on Court Street, and his family was living with his grandmother, Catherine Minerva Fox Stanfield. Helen [sister of Ira Dennis Stanfield] was already in Roxboro Grade School, and rode into town with her father whose mode of travel was a horse and buggy. He later bought a Cadillac touring car and drove it with the top back. Dennis's grandmother long remembered her first ride in that frightening horseless carriage.
Mrs. Mills, his first teacher at Warren's Grove School, rode in a pony-drawn buggy to school and back to her home on the corner of Main and Academy Streets in Roxboro, accompanied by her little daughter, Clara. Miss Pearl Carver (Mrs. Raney Crumpton) was his next teacher. She was little older than the children she taught. When Dennis, Mary [sister of Ira Dennis Stanfield], or Elbert [brother of Ira Dennis Stanfield] transferred to the city school, they were required to repeat the sixth grade, as was then the custom. Tall and slender Miss India Collins was principal, and was loved and held in high esteem, as were "Mis Mildred (Mrs. Mildred Satterfield Nichols), Mrs. Grace Clayton, Miss Cartwright (Mrs. Robah Baynes), Miss Coe (Mrs. R. B. Dawes), and others in their high school years.
When in their mid-teens, Dennis and Mary joined the Brooksdale Methodist Church at the end of a revival service. They gave little thought at the time that all other family members were Baptists. Dennis was active in the church and was popular with young people his age. Like most young men, he loved cars and was working toward owning one. He was creative and energetic, and loved by those who knew him.
The life of our beloved brother was brought to a tragic end as the result of an automobile accident. He died January 31, 1934, and was laid to rest with his father and mother in the Burchwood Cemetery Annex.

He died as the result of a motor vehicle accident -- a two-car collision in Roxboro at the intersection of Reams Avenue and Lamar Street. Will Crumpton was driving the car in which Ira Dennis Stanfield was a passenger. In the other car was Mrs. J. R. Clayton who also died (apparently at the scene). Stanfield died at Watts Hospital in Durham a few days after the accident. Will Crumpton also was seriously injured, but I do not know his final outcome.
