Iowa County Democrat, January 28, 1926
	“Another of the native sons of this community, after several years of 
gradual weakening, was called from labor to refreshment, in the early hours of 
Monday night, January 25, 1926 at the Lutheran Hospital in Dodgeville, after 
traveling life’s road more than 69 years.”

	“Mr. Mitchell was born Dec. 4, 1859 in a log house at Barreltown, north 
of this city, and here in the midst of much hardship and many privations he 
grew to manhood.”

	“On April 3, 1878, he was married to Miss Martha Clayton, who survives. 
Nine children were born to this union, one daughter dying in infancy. The 
remaining children are: Frederick Garfield, Mrs. Henry Vivian, George, Mrs. 
Harold Brewer, all of Mineral Point; Edith Long of Long Beach, CA, Frank of 
Dodgeville, and Mrs. Merrill Gilman of Linden. Two sisters and one brother are 
also among the bereft: Mrs. Jane Lancaster, Long Beach, CA, Mrs. Jerry Rule, 
Linden, and James Mitchell, Stoughton, Illinois.”

	“For many years Mr. Mitchell farmed with large success, moving with his 
family to this city twelve years ago where he continued his industry along 
various lines until weakened by sickness. A hard-working citizen, a home-loving 
father, and a loyal friend has gone from among us.”

	“With the exception of sixteen months spent in California, Mr. Mitchell 
lived near and in this city all his life and his going will be missed in many 
circles. Funeral services will be held from his late home on Cothren St. on 
Thursday afternoon, with Rev. A. H. Schoenfeld a W. H. Penn as the officiating 
ministers. Burial will be made in Graceland.”
