The Marietta Journal June 11, 1891
Half way from Powder Springs to Douglasville, near Gothard's creek, is the old
MITCHELL farm.  It was settled soon after the removal of the Cherokee Indians by
HENRY MITCHELL, probably in the early forties.  Here he raised a family of boys
and girls, and passed away.  Dr POOL, of Douglasville, owned the place, and on
it stood the chimney to the old MITCHELL house, long ago gone to decay.  A
neighbor having use for the material in the old chimney, purchased it from Dr
POOL, and in tearing it down found hidden $1,000 in bright gold pieces, probably
placed there years ago by MITCHELL.  Whose money is it?  The MITCHELL heirs
can't prove that their father placed it there.  Can Dr POOL who sold the chimney
claim it, or will the purchaser of the chimney get it?  - Atlanta Constitution
