Ohiopyle, April 17.—Hiram Simpson Mitchell died at his late residence in Stewart township. Sunday morning, April ]5, at 9.30 o'clock, after an Illness of more than a year. Death came peacefully and as a release to the patient sufferer. Hiram Simpson Mitchell was the youngest son of the late Martin Mitchell of Stewart township and was born 39 years ago on his father's farm in the well known "Mitchell Settlement." He attended the public schools of his native township until he reached manhood, after which he decided on farming as his life's work and remained at home with his parents. Ten years ago his father died and then it was that he assured his aged mother, that he would take up the burden his father had carried so long. Mr. Mitchell's trouble has been a puzzle to the medical profession. Two weeks ago it was thought best to put him under an operation, which seemed to give some relief, but it was only his own heroic spirit that nerved him up. Fifteen years ago Mr. Mitchell married Miss Annie McMillan, daughter of the late Matthew McMillan. This union was blessed with one son, Scott, 12 years old. Besides his wife and son he is survived by his mother, now In her 73rd year, and five sisters, Mrs. J. W. Church of Ohiopyle, Mrs. John Ault of Oakland, Md.; Mrs, Thomas Swaney, Mt.
