The Ligonier Echo (Ligonier, Pennsylvania) ｷ 30 Jul 1948
Funeral services will be held today at 2:30 pm from the United Presbyterian Church
for Robert G. Mitchell, 27 year old Ligonier township World War II veteran, who was
instantly killed Tuesday while working on a coal stripping project in Mt. Pleasant
township. Mitchell, employed by the Latrobe Construction Co., was called to the
stripping job to repair a broken truck axle and was removing the wheel from the
truck when a bulldozer operating nearby got too close and crushed him between the
two vehicles. Joseph Check, Westmoreland Co. coroner, said Mitchell died of a
fractured skull and shock. John and Frank Dominick and Earl Horner, fellow workers,
were first on the scene. Mitchell's body was first taken to the Cease Funeral Home
in Pleasant Unity and later moved to the Roy E. Sibel Funeral Home here. The victim
is survived by his widow, Mary Lou Taylor Mitchell; a daughter, Anna Marie, aged
seven; and a son, Robert, aged eight months; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey
Mitchell, of RD 1, Ligonier, and two brothers, Frank Edgar of Ligonier township, and
Charles Edwin, of Springfield, Mass. Friends will be received at the Sibel Funeral
Home until Friday afternoon when the body will be removed to the United Presbyterian
Church for services there at 2:00 o'clock. The Rev. James Stormont, pastor, will
officiate. Interment will be in the Ligonier Valley cemetery.
