Death of Daniel Mitchell

Once more we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of our best
citizens, which took place at his residence yesterday afternoon about
4
o'clock.

Mr. Mitchell was born at Bridgewater, Mass., on the 5th day of
February, 1807, consequently was at the time of his death, a little
over 70 years of age.

Mr. M. at an early age took up the profession of a Civil Engineer,
which he followed through life, and was admitted to be an adept in his
calling. He emigrated from Massachusetts to Kansas in 1856, and was
there through many years of bloodshed and troubles that cursed Kansas
in its earl settlement.

Mr. M. lived at Junction City, and constituted on of the Callen party
that emigrated from that place to Prescott a little over two years
ago, and acted, we believe as treasurer for that Company.

He leaves a wife, son and daughter with us who are honored members of
society, and lost one son during the rebellion, a young man of 23
years, who held a commission in the Union Army, and served in the
division of Gen. Sherman.
