Margaret Clayton married William Mitchell November 25, 1819 in Lewistown, Mifflin Co., Pennsylvania
Obituary for Margaret Mitchell from Lincoln County Beacon, May 27, 1886
Died, May 18, at the resident of her sister, Mrs. Nancy Jamison, in Madison township, Lincoln county, Kansas, of old age, Mrs. Margaret Mitchell, in the 89th year of her age.
Thus has closed a most useful and eventful life among the few who withstood the storms and battles of life for nearly a century, but at last obeyed the stern decree of death, which is no respecter of persons. About seven years ago Mrs. Mitchell moved with her children from Mifflin county, Pa. to this county. Mother Mitchell rested her hopes in the doctrines of Christianity as taught by the M.E. church, to which she was a lifelong, devoted member. During her last illness, which was only a wasting away of life's "fitful dream" by old age, she never murmured or complained, but looked forward with that firm and unshaken hope which causes the Christian's end to be his best. To mourn her loss she leaves eight children, who were present at her dying bed with tearful eyes, while her spirit winged its flight to its future home. Her six sons, who all embrace the doctrine she did, tenderly bore the loving mother and wife to her final resting place. Her goodness of heart was by all admired and her many deeds of charity and kindness will be remembered with profound gratitude by all. To see her was to admire her; to know her was to respect her
