EMOR H MITCHELL 

...Mr. Mitchell is a native of Ohio, his birth having occurred in Knox County, on the 5th of December, 1839. His paternal grandfather, Sylvanus Mitchell, removed from his native state of Massachusetts to Ohio in the year 1805, settling in Granville township, Licking County, where he engaged in general farming until 1823. At that date he took tip his abode in Knox County, where his remaining days were passed and where he died at an advanced age. He was of English lineage. 

Almond Mitchell, the father of our subject, was born in Licking County. Ohio, on the 3Oth of March, 1816, and was a lad of but seven years when he accompanied his parents to Knox County in 1823. He was reared on the home farm in Milford Township, where he remained until he had attained his majority, after which he purchased a farm in the same township, continuing to engage in general agricultural pursuits and stock-raising there until his death. He was a diligent, industrious man, progressive in his business methods and in his undertakings he prospered, becoming the owner of between five and six hundred acres of rich farm land. He was also prominent in public affairs and was well-fitted for leadership, because of his keen insight into public matters, his devotion to the general good and his marked capability. He held a number of township offices and he cast his first presidential vote for Andrew Jackson, but after the inauguration of the Republican party he became one of its followers. He was also a supporter of the Methodist church, and everything pertaining to the general good received his endorsement, and many times his active co-operation. In early manhood he wedded Miss Margaret Hawkins, who was born in Knox County, Ohio, on the 2d of May, 1818. She was a member of the Disciple church and was a devoted and loving wife and mother and a faithful friend. Mr. Mitchell died April 6, 1896, and his wife passed away in 1901.

Unto this worthy couple were born fifteen children, of whom three died in infancy, while the others reached years of maturity,. Eight of the family are now living, two sisters and five brothers of our subject. One brother resides in Chicago, another in Texas, and, with the exception of our subject, the others are living in Ohio. Harris, the eldest of the family born in Ohio in 1838, died in infancy. Emor H. is the second. Lewis is a farmer of Morrow County, Ohio, and was a soldier of the Civil war.  Alice is the deceased wife of Monroe Crego, who is a farmer of Galena, Ohio. Elizabeth is the deceased wife of Dempsy Conway, of Decatur, Illinois. Albert is a resident farmer of Knox County, Ohio. Wealthy is the deceased wife of Thomas Wade, of Knox County. Torrence is an agriculturist of the same County. Maria is the wife of Abram Jackson, of Wichita Falls, Texas. William is a merchant of Knox County, Ohio. Laura is the deceased wife of Emer Harris, a farmer of Red Oak, Iowa. Dana is engaged in the practice of law in Chicago. Mary is the wife of Judson Poland, an agriculturist of Knox County, Ohio.
