General Notes: Husband - Thomas Mitchell


He and his wife were natives of England, in which country they were reared and married. Coming to America, they located in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, where he worked in the mines. He afterward removed to Irwin, Pennsylvania, and in 1869 to Catfish, Pennsylvania, where he was employed as mine boss until 1879. In that year, in company with Mr. Stevenson, he opened the Pine Run Mine, which he operated until 1887, when he opened the Diamond Mine, in Madison township, Clarion County. In 1892 he went to Virginia, where he organized the Pine Run Coal & Coke Company, conducting a mine for some time, when he sold out. He died in East Brady in 1892, the result of blood poison. He was a Republican in politics, and served in the office of burgess. During the Civil war he manifested his loyalty to his adopted country by enlisting in Westmoreland County, as a member of the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry, in which he served for more than three years. He afterward became a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and also belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
