The Atlanta Constitution   2 Oct 1915 
Doctor for Crackers Died Friday Evening

Dr. J W Mitchell Had Attended Every Game Until His Health Broke Down.

Dr. J W Mitchell, widely known as the physician for the Atlanta baseball team, 
died last night at his residence, 187 Oakland avenue, after an illness of 
several months. 

Dr. Mitchell had practiced here since coming to the city twenty years ago from 
Columbus, Ga., where he had been born and reared.  Since becoming physician 
for the Cracker team several years ago, he had widened his acquaintance over 
the entire south, and was one of the most popular physicians connected with 
the Southern league.

In testimony of their regard for him the ball teams upon disbanding had been 
accustomed to give him a cane or other remembrance.  He was an attendant at 
every game until his health broke during the summer. 

Dr. Mitchell was 54 years old.  Besides his widow, he is survived by two 
brothers, Dr. C. Ray Mitchell, Pensacola, Fla. and Dr. E. S. Mitchell, Homer, 
La.; three sisters, Mrs. C. Thiesen and Mrs. H T Matthews, both of Pensacola 
and Mrs. W A Hill, Georgetown, Ga. 

Additional Comments:
He's the son of Thomas Snead Mitchell and Willie Susan Cooper.
