General Notes: Husband - James Thomas Mitchell


He was educated in the schools of Greenwood township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and attended through one term at Lumber City. He then went into the woods and began contracting, cutting by the thousand feet and during several summers had from twenty-five to thirty men in his employ. For a time after his marriage, in 1893, he lived near Bell's Landing, in Greenwood township, and then bought a farm from Alex. Patton, but which was the David McCracken farm. All of it was cleared except fifty acres that remained in fine timber. All of the substantial and appropriate buildings were erected by Mr. Mitchell, or entirely remodeled by him.
His family were members of the Methodist Protestant church. He was a Republican in politics and occasionally consented to accept township offices. He was a leading member of Greenwood Grange and was treasurer of the Curry Run Telephone Company.
