Biography

Almost nothing is known about Lavinia's early life. When and where was she born? Who were her patents? Even her name was recorded inconsistently:

1900 census at Mamaroneck, New York appears to show "Savinia" Mitchell - possibly the census-taker wrote "L" so it was mistaken for "S"? It says she was born in French Canada.

1910 census at Palisades, New Jersey shows her name as "Lavinine" Mitchell, widow.

1916 census at Last Mountain District, Saskatchewan shows "Levina" Mitchell, age 50, born in Ontario. She lived with daughter Bessie and family. Oddly the census called her a "sister-in-law" of Lewis Hilliard Beaton, rather than his "mother-in-law".

1920 census at Duluth, Minnesota shows just "L. Mitchell", they didn't try to spell it!

1930 census at Santa Monica, California shows "Lovina" Mitchell.

Can anyone verify her maiden name, place of birth and names of parents? No record of her death has yet been found.
