  Obituary- Mitchell, William d. 1926 WILLIAM MITCHELL We have come to the place where we must record the transfer from time to eternity another of our choice soldier citizens from our home and Christian companionship—that of William Mitchell. He was born near Marathon, Clermont county, Ohio, July 6, 1843, where he spent his youth and early manhood and where he enlisted as a soldier with Captain Cochran in Co. D, 83rd Ohio Infantry. There he proved himself a true man and loyal soldier. This regiment came into service under President Lincoln’s first call in 1862 and participated in the battles of Chickasaw Bluffs, Arkansas, December, 1862, Port Gibson, May 17, 1863, Siege of Vicksburg and Jackson, Miss., in the months of May, June and July, 1863. He was taken prisoner April 8, 1864, at Sabine Cross Roads, Louisiana, and was exchanged October 23, 1864. Thru his conduct he won himself the esteem of his company and the officers of his command. March 22, 1865, he was united in marriage to Eliza Scott. Seven children—four sons and three daughters were born to this union. All of these survive except one son, Thomas who passed to his reward February 14, 1913. Mr. Mitchell was a true, good, kind husband and father, who gave himself in every way in ministries of love and helpfulness for their welfare and happiness and all of which they in turn reciprocated throughout life through kindly deeds and devoted care in his closing days. Nothing they could do was left undone to make him comfortable, for which he gave to them his heartiest thanks. Mr. Mitchell united with the Presbyterian church in Rossville in 1913, and was a faithful member to the last. He arose on the morning of his 61st wedding anniversary well and happy and in a short time was stricken with a light stroke of paralysis. After six weeks of illness he passed to his eternal rest on May 2, 1926. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church Tuesday, May 4 conducted by Rev. Berg. Interment was in Rossville cemetery. They tell of courage never quenched of duties nobly done; Of that dark lonely death, Of everlasting glory won. And dearer still a nation’s love. Servant of God, well done, Thy glorious warfare’s past; The battle’s fought, the race is won.
