Anniston Star June 30, 1940
Mrs. Sara Mitchell of Delta let us see several paintings that she has done 
herself. She has had only 13 lessons to her lifetime, and she has painted scenes 
at various times for the last 40 years. Among her scenes are a mill, Mimehaha 
Falls and a view of Gulfport, Miss. The last scene was painted from a picture 
postcard. She also has two flower scenes painted on a piece of the headboard and 
a piece of the footboard of an old bedstead. She has her first picture, a bowl 
of fruit, that was painted 40 years ago, and it still retains the original 
colors as bright as the day it was painted. Mrs. Mitchell has hung the paintings 
about her house, and they form a very pretty sight as one walks in. In addition 
to her interest in art Mrs. Mitchell has been teaching music for 35 years and 
she has taught the intermediate Sunday School Class in her church for 35 years. 
Stored in a storm pit is an old Singer sewing machine that is 75 years old. It 
was in possession of Mrs. Mitchell's mother, and it was handed down to her. It 
is not in working condition, but apparently a small amount of repair would place 
it in running order. In the same building is a spinning wheel that is very old.
