Thomas Mitchell died June 15th, in the 60th year of his age. Mr. Mitchell came to this country more than thirty years ago and made Mineral Point his home. Twice he visited the gold fields of the far west, and secured some of its previous treasure that saved him from want in his very long affection and leaves his widow free from dependency.” “As a laborer (he being a miner) he was industrious and careful; as a citizen law abiding without constraint; as a neighbor, peaceable and kind; as a husband and father, very tender and loving. But it was as a Christian he gained our highest esteem. For more than sixteen years he was a faithful member of the Primitive Methodist Church of the city.” “Though afflicted for years, and confined to his bed for the last sixteen months, he never murmured or complained. Religion was his life, it supported him under severest pains, and in death it was his comfort. He was a good man and has gone to his reward.” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/wi/iowa/obits/m/mitchell300gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/wifiles/ File size: 1.7 Kb
