Ettie N. Mitchell was born in Mercer county, Illinois, May 10, 1866. She was a daughter of Richard Shields of Aubry. She was united in marriage to Joseph Mitchell January 1, 1888. She united with the M. E. church in 1896. Her death occurred at Excelsior Springs, Mo., Thursday, July 7, age thirty-two years. The deceased was a devoted member of the church at Bethany where she held her membership at the time of her death. Her daily walk witnessed to the truth that she was "but a pilgrim and a stranger here," that she sought a better and a Heavenly country. She died as she lived, peacefully, trusting Him who giveth victory over death and the grave. She leaves an aged father, two sisters and one brother. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. L. Miller in Stilwell last Sabbath at 2 p. m., and the remains laid to rest in the Aubry cemetery. The mourning relatives, and friends have the entire sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.
