Mitchell and Lucinda J. Westfall (The 1890 History of Page County has the following biographical sketch of Charles Warren Mitchell" "Charles W. Mitchell, who for many years was identified with the agricultural interests of Iowa, is now the capable and efficient Postmaster of Yorktown, which position he has held for the past twelve years. Born in Chester, Meigs County, Ohio on the 28th of March, 1844, he is the son of Enos and Harriet (Chaffin) Mitchell. The parents were both natives of old Virginia, where they were married. They passed away in Knox County, Illinois. In their family were nine children, seven of whom still survive: Mary, who passed away in infancy; George, a resident of Weldon, Iowa and a soldier in the Civil War who enlisted in 1861 as a member of Company A, Fifty-ninth Illinois Infantry, and after being wounded at Pea Ridge was discharged; Charles W. of this review; Harriet, the wife of R.F. Goff, of Missouri; M. O. making his home in California; James P. who died in infancy; Enos, a practicing physician of Osceola, Iowa; O. W., residing in Kansas; and L. A., of Des Moines, Iowa. Charles W. Mitchell was but a lad of seven years when he accompanied his parents on their removal to Knox County, Illinois and there the family residence was maintained until 1872. During the meantime he had acquired his education in the common schools and later on the 12th of September, 1863, he enlisted as a soldier in the Civil War from Knox County, Illinois, as a member of Company G, Eighty-ninth Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Under the command of Captain Howell, this regiment took part in many battles, Mr. Mitchell seeing much active service. He participated in the Battles of Missionary Ridge, Knoxville, Buzzard's Roost, Resaca, Pickett Mills, Kenesaw Mountain Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, Lovejoy Station, Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the entire period of his service he gallantly defended the old flag and remained loyal to the cause which it represented. He was mustered out at New Braunfels, Texas, on the 16th day of December, 1865. [By Carol Ruth Gehrs Mitchell] About 1896, he was appointed postmaster of Yorktown and retiring from the farm he moved to Yorktown to assume the duties of his position. It was a fourth class office and during his incumbency two rural free delivery routes have been established in connection there with. He made an excellent official, discharging his duties with promptness and fidelity, while his service at all times has been most creditable to himself and satisfactory to the entire community. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church in Page Co. IA and Charles gave his allegiance to the republican party. The postmaster position was better for his health as the work was not as strenuous as farming and he seemed so frail.
