“Among
the effects of C.G. Mitchell, the aged man killed by a
Burlington freight train at Lentner Monday of last week, was
found a record book, nothing similar to which had ever been
seen before in this section. Mr. Mitchell was a survivor of
Co. F, Parson’s brigade of Pindell’s batallion of
sharpshooters of the Civil war and the book contained a
complete record of the members of his company. Only five
members of the batallion are now living in Monroe county.
They are W.F. Farrel, Neal Price, Neut Turner, John H.
Powers and Stephen Henry Scobee.”
