LEANDER BRUCE MITCHELL OBITUARY
CLARK COUNTY HERALD
9-SEPT-1896


   Leander Bruce Mitchell was born near Marshall, Illinois, March 2, 1844, and 
died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Adam Scott, twelve miles South of Marshall, 
May 5, 1896.
   He was a student at the Illinois State Normal, a prominent teacher of Clark 
County for a number of years, studied law with J.W. Graham, and was admitted to 
the bar about sixteen years ago.
   He was well read in his chosen profession and was considered a good judge of 
law.
   His funeral took place Wednesday afternoon, May 6, at the Ohio Church.   The 
funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. C. Gibbs.   After the sermon Hon. 
J.W. Graham made an address in which he paid a high tribute to the character and 
personal worth of the deceased.   A large delegation of K.P. from the Marshall 
Lodge testified to their appreciation of their brother Knight.
   Mr. Mitchell’s moral character was above reproach; he was quite just, genial 
and carried in his bosom a kind heart and commanded the respect and confidence 
of a large circle of friends.
