John Charles Mitchell, 34, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hayden Mitchell of Noble, died Friday morning following a heat attack suffered while working on a contracting job at Jacksonville, Morgan county. He passed away at the Passavant Hospital in that city.

Morgan County Coroner John Martin said that Mitchell was reshingling a roof when he complained of the heat. According to the coroner, Mitchell then sat under a tree and lost consciousness. Mitchell was taken to the hospital where he died some four hours later of a heat stroke.

Funeral services were held at the Noble Funeral Home with William Lewis in charge. Burial was at Hanna cemetery, northwest of Noble.

The young man was born on August 8, 1935, and was a graduate of the Noble High school. He had followed work as a carpenter and was formerly employed by Myron Pflaum, Noble contractor, until going to Jacksonville. He was a veteran of U. S. Military service and was discharged in 1960. He was unmarried.

He is survived by his parents C. Hayden and Emma Fulk Mitchell, twin brother, Jim of Ashland and two other brothers, Donald and Carl, both of Springfield.
