  HUGH MITCHELL. One of the pioneers of Nobles county and of Bigelow township is

Hugh Mitchell, who came with the colonists of 1872 and who has been engaged in

farming ever since. He was born in the state of New York Jan. 20, 1849, the son

of John and Sarah (Voorhees) Mitchell, both natives of New York state. In his

native state Mr. Mitchell resided until he came to Nobles county in the spring

of 1872. He homesteaded the northeast quarter of section 18, Bigelow township,

and on that farm made his home until March, 1908, when he rented the farm to his

son-in-law, Victor Gustafson, and moved onto a forty acre tract on section 6.



  Mr. Mitchell was married in Bigelow Dec. 28, 1883, to Miss Dora Mills, a

native of New York state and a daughter of E. S. Mills, at one time county

auditor of Nobles county and a man prominent in the affairs of the county. To

Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell have been born the following children: Mary (Mrs. Victor

Gustafson), born April 20, 1889; John Edward, born Sept. 20, 1885.



  Mr. Mitchell and his wife are members of the Methodist church of Bigelow and

he is a member of the M. W. A. lodge. For several years he served on the school

board of district No. 80.
