George Washington Mitchell, 1870 - 1911

George W. Mitchell was born in Johnson county on August 8, 1870, and had spent practically all his life on the farm near Amity, engaging in that work, although occasionally following the carpenter's trade. He was married on October 17, 1894, to Senia Badgely, a daughter of Polk Badgely, formerly of this city, who, with the four children, survives. Besides the parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Mitchell, he leaves three brothers, James, John and Charles; three sisters, Mrs. Della Batton, Mrs. Hattie Nash and Mrs. Claude McKinney; and two half-sisters, Mrs. Joseph Mullendore and Mrs. Nannie McDonald of Kansas City, Missouri. Short funeral services were held at the late home yesterday at 10:00 followed by services at the Amity Baptist church at 11:00, and the remains interred in the Hamner graveyard.
