county for about 45 years, died at

Mr. Mitchell was born in Blairgowrie,

80th year at the time of his death. He was
married in Arbrath, Scotland, to Miss Anna

settled on a farm near Ironton, where they
resided up until 14 years ago, when they took
up their residence in this city. Mrs. Mitchell
passing away here about three years ago.
After the death of his wife, Mr. Mitchell
moved to Almont, Michigan, his later years
being spent with his daughter, at whose home
he passed away.
He is survived by six children: four daughters;
Mrs. Charles H. Wilson, Almont, Mich.; Mrs.
Roy F.Swinton, Ann Arbor, Mich.; Mrs. Earl H.
Coleman, Hastings,Mich., and Miss Isabelle
Mitchell of this city, and two sons, John of
Boyne City and Dr. W. W. Mitchell of
Charlevoix, all of whom were present at the
funeral.
The remains were brought to
Charlevoix and funeral services were
held last Sunday afternoon at 1 :30
o'clock, from the home of his son,
Dr. W. W. Mitchell, 110 Park avenue.
Rev. B. G. Mattson, pastor of the
Congregational church, officiating.

During his many years of residence

a large following of friends
and acquaintances who knew him for
his honesty and sterling character,
and he will be greatly missed from
our rapidly diminishing rank of
early pioneers.
