General Notes: Husband - Joseph Mitchell

---

He was a farmer and merchant, was successful in business, and at the time of his death was the owner of 300 acres of land in Borough township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He was a resident of Borough township beginning in 1838.

He was born in Ireland and came to the United States in 1822, at the age of thirty-four years. He located at New Brighton, Pennsylvania, and engaged in agricultural pursuits, removing in 1826 to Beaver, where he went into mercantile pursuits. He was very successful in this line, and purchased ground adjoining Beaver on the north and west, until he was the owner of much valuable acreage. He built a handsome brick residence at Vanport, later known as the Purdy farm. He continued to prosper until he had accumulated a nice property. He served as a justice of the peace and as a school director. He did business at the Pittsburg Bank, and at the advanced age of eighty-seven years, just as he was about to start to Pittsburgh on business, he slipped and fell, breaking his leg, which caused his death shortly afterward.
