The Granite Enterprise, June 30, 1922
This is the obituary for Charles Henry Mitchell from the Granite Enterprise, 
June 30, 1922:

C. H. Mitchell

The inevitable hand of death has reached out again, taking from among us this 
time one known and revered as a man who never swerved from his duty, but marched 
breast forward.  All his life C. H. Mitchell has striven to do just that thing.   
Never doubting clouds would break, he faced each day with a smile on his face, 
trusted in the wisdom and mercy of his God, and did his duty as he saw it.  No 
matter how we regret his going the Lord has willed it so, and we know it to be 
good.  From his life we will strive to learn a lesson that will better prepare 
us to meet him face to face in that home beyond the skies where we know he is 
today.

C. H. Mitchell was born in Thomaston, Georgia, Upson County, the 29th of May 
1848, and at death was 74 years and 29 days of age.  He was married the 24th of 
March 1870 to Louisa Howell and to this marriage nine children were born, seven 
boys and two girls.  Those surviving him today are his wife and seven sons of 
whom are G. A., J. M., and B. F. of Granite, J. C. of Abbot Texas, C. I. of 
Temple, Tex., T. C. of Kansas City, and R. L. of Lubbock, Tex.  The two 
daughters died in early childhood.  Husband and wife moved from Georgia to Hill 
County Texas, 1890 and left that place for Oklahoma in 1898.  Mr. Mitchell 
brought his family to Granite soon after, near which place he passed away the 
27th day of June 1922.

Brother Mitchell has always been a worker in the church, having been converted 
at the age of sixteen.  During his life he held offices in the Methodist Church 
at every place in which he lived.  For thirty years he was Sunday School 
Superintendent and Steward in churches of Georgia and Texas.  He was a trustee 
of the Methodist church of Granite when he died.

Funeral services were held for the deceased Wednesday at 5 o'clock.  Brother 
Bigbee of the Presbyterian church officiating.  The remains were laid to rest in 
the Rock Cemetery before a large crowd of bereaved relatives and friends.
