M. Darnell (Judy Mitchell) had only one brother, young Herbert Mitchell, who was killed in the War between the States. When they brought his remains home sometime after, and opened the casket, the gallant young soldier had turned to dust! His last words were, "Close in boys, the victory is ours!" After my daughter's marriage, to Mr. Herbert Mitchell Franklin, I found out that this noble young soldier was the great uncle of my grandson, Herbert Mitchell Franklin, II. The mother, of Mrs. Darnell and Herbert, married a son of Gov. David Mitchell; then, after his death, married Mr. Charles. Their two children were Francis Charles and Mary Charles. Francis Charles joined the Navy and wrote home regularly for a year, then his letters ceased, and the family never knew what became of him. Mary Charles married Mr. S. O. Franklin, and became the mother of Mrs. Mary Adams, Mrs. Laura Smith, Mrs. Carrie Jacobson, Mr. White Franklin, and Mr. Herbert Mitchell Franklin, all of Tennille, Georgia.
