MRS. ELIZA MITCHELL DIES AT WILLOWS
Mrs. Eliza Mitchell, widow of James Mitchell, died at her home in Willows Friday, aged 78 years. Mrs. Mitchell had been in ill health for the past fire years, but maintained her courage and activity almost to the end.
Mrs. Mitchell was the daughter of Andrew S. Cleek and Virginia Cleek, pioneers who came from Missouri to California in 1950. Her parents made a trip back to Missouri before her birth, and she was born at the old home in that state. When she was only five years old the family made the trip again across the plains, and little Eliza came with them, one of the early "covered wagon" babies to come to this section of the state. Her parents settled on a portion of the McIntosh ranch, where she lived to young womanhood, and then married James Mitchell, and with him made a home on a ranch north of Stony Creek, in what is now known as the Lake district where they lived till 1908, when they retired from farming and moved to Willows, where the husband passed away some ten years ago.
The couple left no children, but raised from babyhood a grand niece, who is now Mrs. Mabel Morrissey Waste of Chico. Harry Delman (Dillman) also was raised by them as their own child, and remained with them, being at the bedside at Mrs. Mitchell's demise. Mrs. Mitchell is also survived by a number of nieces and nephews: Mrs. J. C. Hamilton, James, Jeff (Jeb) and Vince Cleek of Orland, Andrew Cleek of Chico, Jos. (John L.) Cleek of Santa Rosa, Mrs. Hicks of Bakersfield, Mrs. Perkins of San Francisco and John Hood of Alaska.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell were life long members of the Baptist church, members of the church at Orland during their residence here, and later affiliating with the Willows church. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon from the Willows church, the pastor, Rev. Luverude officiating. The remains were brought to Orland for interment in the Odd Fellows cemetery. – Transcribed by E.
