Death of B.F. Mitchell.
News was recieved[sic] here Sunday by relatives,announcing the death of Benjamin Franklin Mitchell,which occurred that day at the home of his son,Eugene Mitchell,on Nolan street.The remains were brought to this city Monday afternoon and laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' cemetery,the funeral obsequies being performed at the Baptist church by Rev.Chas. Pond in the absence of the local pastor,Rev.Isaac Sellers.The funeral was largely
attended by sympathizing friends of the family.Mr.Mitchell,together with his good wife (who,we regret to learn,is In very feeble health),moved to San Antonio last year,since which time Mr.Mitchell's health declined until it was realized that the end was near.The deceased was a resident of our city for many years.He owned quite a lot of farming land in this section,and was reputed to be quite wealthy.He was a man of quiet,absteminous[sic] habits,attentive to his own business,a good neighbor,friend and christian,a member of the Baptist church (being quite a large contributor to the building of the handsome First Baptist Church of this city),and was popular and highly esteemed by the people of Weimar and vicinity.He was a veteran of the late civil war,being a member of Griffin's battalion,and,saw service at Houston,Galveston and Sabine Pass.He was a native of Tennessee.He and his good wife were married Nov.22 1855,and came to Texas in 1860,first settling near Alleyton.Six children-...-survive this union.He and his wife celebrated their fifty sixth wedding anniversary in San Antonio in November last year.Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the beareaved ones in the sad loss they have sustained.
