General Notes: Husband - David Mitchell

---

He had very meager school advantages when he was a boy and as soon as old enough he went into the woods and worked at lumbering. He acquired his position of financial independence entirely through his own efforts and claimed that he never loafed a day in his life. He had very practical ideas from the start and began buying timber tracts as soon as he had capital, clearing them off and then selling and by 1869 he had acquired the means to purchase a farm on which he then lived, which was formerly the property of Lewis Smith. He has about 165 of his 800 acres cleared and under cultivation. After his marriage he had settled on a small place in Burnside township near his timber tract, and lived there until he bought his Greenwood township farm. Other and later purchases were: 130 and 225 acres near Bower; 112 acres of the Hoover farm, and 340 acres in Bell township. He was a stockholder in the Farmers and Traders Bank of Clearfield County and a charter member of the Mahaffey National Bank at Mahaffey, Pennsylvania. He served in almost all the township offices.
He was a Republican in his political sentiments. He belonged to the order of Odd Fellows at Mahaffey and for thirty-five years or more belonged to Greenwood Grange, of which he was a charter member.

He was reared on the farm, and not only became familiar with the duties that fall to the lot of the agriculturist, but also learned business methods through connection with his father's lumbering interests. He was educated in the country schools, and remained at home until twenty-three years of age, when he began business on his own account. He purchased a tract of timber land of 130 acres on Chest creek, and for three years was engaged in converting the trees into marketable products. He then sold his interest in the timber, and for three years thereafter worked on the Ross land. In 1869 he purchased, of James Elder, the tract of land of 130 acres (on which he then resided), fifty of which were under cultivation, and the farm was improved with a two-story frame house. Of this he later had ninety-five acres highly cultivated, erected a large barn and good outbuildings. He also purchased and improved another tract of land of 100 acres, known as the Hoover land; also purchased 225 acres of land, part of the William Bell estate; and 325 acres in Bell township, known as the John Irvin land, on Snyder run-to all of which he gave his personal attention. He was not confined to agricultural pursuits alone, however, for many years was extensively engaged in the lumber business, to which he first turned his attention when only fourteen years of age. For forty-two years he piloted rafts down the river.
