Granite Enterprise
Louisa "Lou" Howell Mitchell (Aug. 16, 1845-Nov. 30, 1930) was born in Upson
County, GA, the daughter of John Noah Howell and Elizabeth Martin Howell.  On
March 24, 1870 in Upson County , she married Charles Henry Mitchell, the son of
Calvin Margon Mitchell and Elizabeth Caraway Mitchell of Upson County, GA.  She
is buried in the Rock Cemetery near Granite, OK.  Her obituary from the Granite
Enterprise on Dec. 5, 1930 states:
 
        "Mrs. C. H. Mitchell dies after long illness.  Mrs. C. H. Mitchell,
familiarly known as Grandma Mitchell, aged 85 years, died Sunday morning at the
home of her son, Marshall Mitchell, living five miles southwest of Mangum.  
        Mrs. Mitchell had been ill for almost a year, and death was not
unexpected though of course it came as a shock to her family and many friends.
        She was born in Upton [Upson] County, Georgia, in 1845.  There she grew
to womanhood, uniting with the Methodist church at an early age, and was a
sincere and devout Christian during her long and active life.
        In 1870 she was married to C. H. Mitchell, who preceded her to the great
beyond about eight years ago.  In 1890 she moved with her husband to Texas, and
from there to Granite in 1900.
        Grandma is survived by seven sons, two daughters [Nannie Julia Mitchell
and Ora May Mitchell] having died while very young.  The sons are G. A. and B.
F. Mitchell of Granite.  J. M. Mitchell, of Mangum, R. L. Mitchell, of Sentinel,
C. I. Mitchell, of Temple, Texas, J. C. Mitchell, of Mt. Calm, Texas, and T. C.
Mitchell, of Kansas City.  The latter three sons were unable to get here for the
funeral, which took place Monday afternoon from the Methodist church.  The
remains were laid to rest in the Rock Cemetery beside those of her husband.
       Mrs. Mitchell was truly a Mother in Israel, and her noble Christian life
is an example for all who knew her.  The many friends of the family extend
sincere sympathy to bereaved ones."
