General Notes: Husband - John Martin Mitchell

---

On September 1, 1872, John Martin Mitchell, became engaged in the hardware trade in Emlenton, Pennsylvania, in association with a partner, James Bennett. The two men continued operations together until July 16, 1878, when Mr. Mitchell became engaged in business for himself on Water Street near the end of the bridge. In 1879 the store was removed to more permanent quarters, and was enlarged ten years later, in 1889. Until August 12, 1891, Mr. Mitchell conducted the store. Then it was sold to E. B. Borland & Company, who operated it until January 1, 1896. Harry Bennett Mitchell, John Martin Mitchell's son, at that time bought the business.
