MITCHELL, Daniel W.


SOURCE NOTATION:
    Cambria Freeman, 30March1900, Contributed by Lisa Baker

Daniel W. Mitchell, employed at the saw mill of Kuhns & Goodwin, at Dunlo, was instantly killed on Tuesday morning. Mitchell was employed as the off-bearer on the second-story of the mill and had drop- (sic) his mitten through a hole in the floor. He started to go in search of it and had been away but a short time when a scream was heard from the lower story and a shock felt as if a belt had broken. The power was shut off and an investigation made when the body of Mitchell was found crushed and lifeless. He had evidently got caught in the big twenty-three-inch belt and carried into the pulley. He was 43 years of age and is survived by his wife and nine children. Four years ago Mr. Mitchell resided in Clearfield and was chief of police of that place.
