News Gleaned From Georgia

Old “Uncle” Richmond Mitchell, who died at Thomasville, was unique in being the
only colored Confederate veteran in Thomasville.  Richmond went into the war
with Judge Robert G. Mitchell and his brother, the late Judge W.D. Mitchell, at
the beginning of the hostilities and served with them until General Lee
surrendered.  While not on the firing line, the old man had heard the cannons
roar and the guns fire on many a battlefield and knew what war meant.  Members
of W.D. Mitchell camp defrayed the expenses of old Richmond’s funeral and many
of them attended it.
