General Notes: Husband - W. S. Mitchell

---

He was reared in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, until fifteen years of age, and then removed to Westmoreland County, where he attended school in Marion. He learned telegraphy in East Brady, in 1869, and the following year entered the employ of the Allegheny Valley railroad at Catfish, afterward being located at various points along their line. He remained continuously with the company until 1887, and thereafter at various intervals was in their service for limited periods. At the time of the Johnstown flood he acted as telegraph agent at Red Bank. Thinking to find a more profitable field of endeavor in the coal regions, however, he became connected with that industry in 1887. The Diamond mines in Madison township, Clarion County, of which he became proprietor, were sunk in 1887, and furnished employment to about forty-five men, which number was increased when working to the full extent. The investment was a profitable one, as his business interests were well managed.
In his political affiliations Mr. Mitchell was a Republican, and was honored with several local offices, serving as auditor of East Brady, as a member of the council in 1890, and in November, 1896, he was elected burgess. Socially, he was connected with New Bethlehem Lodge No. 522, F. & A. M., and he attended the Methodist Episcopal Church.
