GEORGE W. MITCHELL

GEORGE W. MITCHELL. The young gentleman whose name heads this sketch was born in
Mason county, Kentucky, November 16, 1852. His parents were George W. and Minerva
Mitchell, also natives of the state of Kentucky. The family emigrated to Ray county,
Missouri, in the year 1859, and located on a farm in the vicinity of the town of
Orrick. In the acquisition of an education, our subject was afforded only such
advantages as the common schools of the neighborhood possessed. After leaving school
young Mitchell engaged in various avocations until two years ago, when he entered
the hardware and agricultural implement trade at Orrick, in which business he has
been engaged with good success ever since. He is an accommodating, popular and
rising merchant, and although young in years, is possessed of good, practical
judgment, and a degree of business acumen seldom seen in men of more mature years.
He can not fail of abundant success in the future.
