    Austin A. Mitchell, treasurer of Polk County, was born in this
county September 13, 1858.  The Mitchell family traces its ancestry
to three brothers, who came from England in an early day. The 
father of our subject, Stephen C. Mitchell, was born in Blount 
County, Tenn., in 1831, and came to this county when only four 
years old, where he grew to manhood and married Martha Hendricks, 
of Arkansas, by whom he had a family of eight children.  He served
in the late war as a Union soldier till 1864, when he resigned as
second lieutenant.  The subject of this sketch received his 
education in the Bolivar schools, and in the Southwest Baptist
College.  Having clerked for his father till 1885, he became his
partner in business, and in 1886 was elected county treasurer, 
and re-elected in 1888.  In September, 1887, he married Lizzie B. 
Morrow, and they have one girl.  He is a Republican, a member of
the I.O.O.F and K. of P.  He is the youngest county official, 
and an efficient business man.
