E. F. Mitchell, proprietor of livery, feed and sale stable, one of the
leading horse fanciers of Buchanan County, and one of St. Joseph's 
sterling business men, is our subject.  He is a native of Bureau County,
Illinois, and was born January 28, 1851, and was there reared.  He can
trace his ancestry to English extraction.  When our subject attained
his eighteenth year, he migrated to Fairfield, Jefferson Couty, Iowa,
engaging in the stock trade, which he continued there, for a time, and
at other points up to 1879, when he located in St. Joseph, Missouri.
His stable is one of the finest in all its appointments to be found in
the county, and Mr. Mitchell's genial qualities makes it quite a pop-
ular trading market.  In 1874, he was married to Miss Mattie Johnson,
of Fairfield, Iowa.  They have two children: Fred and Herbert.  Mr.
Mitchell is a member of the I.O.O.F.
