General Notes: Husband - Harry Bennett Mitchell
Public schools of Emlenton, Pennsylvania, provided Harry Bennett Mitchell's early formal education. While still young, he became associated with his father's business, which he took over by purchase on January 1, 1896. On January 1, 1902, H. C. Graham purchased a share in the enterprise, whereupon the name was changed to H. B. Mitchell & Company. In 1927 Mr. Graham bought an additional interest in the firm, which then became Mitchell & Graham. Mr. Graham and Mr. Mitchell conducted the establishment together, handling a high grade of general hardware and oil well supplies.
In addition to his work with Mitchell & Graham, which was one of the oldest business enterprises in that region of Pennsylvania, Mr. Mitchell was active in banking circles as vice-president of the First National Bank of Emlenton, president of the People's National Bank of Clintonville and a director of the People's National Bank of East Brady. In politics he was a Democrat and, in addition to all his other undertakings, he was a trustee of the State School at Polk and was for four years president of the board of trustees there. Mr. Mitchell was a member of the Wenango Country Club and the Foxborough Country Club. In the Free and Accepted Masons he belonged to Allegheny Lodge, No. 552; Commandery, No. 44, of Knights Templar; Pittsburgh Consistory of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite; and Syria Temple of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (in Pittsburgh). He was a member of the board of trustees of the Presbyterian Church of Emlenton, president of Emlenton Water Company, a member of the board of trustees of Grove City College, Grove City, Pennsylvania, and president of Emlenton Cemetery Company.
