General Notes: Husband - Louis Z. Mitchell

---

He came to Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1834. He was educated at Jefferson College, read law with Hon. S. Gilmore, and was admitted to the bar in 1846.
He was a Democrat in politics. He was elected Clerk of the Courts in 1848. He ran for Congress in 1868, but went down with his party. He made the canvass an aggressive one, however, and allowed little rest to his opponent. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1873. Possessing a rare use of language, he was at home either before a popular assembly or before a jury. [HBC 1883, 61]
