Mr. Mitchell was apparently deaf and did not observe the switch engine, the engine crew also failing to see him in time to avert the accident. The victim is employed in the factory yard and his brother, W.F. Mitchell of Clinton also employed in the yard at the plant, was not far distant at the time of the accident. [...] Clinton Herald, Monday February 8, 1926, pg 6: Funeral services were held at 3 o'clock this afternoon for Winfield Scott Mitchell at the late home, 618 Camanche avenue. The simple requiem services of the Episcopal church of which the deceased was a member were in charge of the Rev. Thos. Horton. Old family friends and neighbors officiated as pallbearers and were Thomas Hinton, I.B. Jencks, Frank Payne, Ed Lind, W.H. Scott and W.H. Bock. Burial was in Springdale cemetery, where the services were in charge of Western Star lodge, 100, A.F. & A.M., of which the deceased was a member, with Worshipful Master Frank Luthans officiating. Members of the lodge met at the Scottish Rite Masonic temple at 2 o'clock, to attend. Winfield Scott Mitchell, better known as "Captain Bob" Mitchell, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, October 12, 1849. When a lad of six years the family moved to Gardenplain, Ill., where the members resided until the death of the father in 1870, when they moved to Clinton where he has since made his home. For four years he was employed by the W.J. Young Co., in the logging business. The lure of the river called, and he entered the service, being interested in the Van Sant line. He became a licensed captain, and spent many years on the river, in the hey-day of the water traffic, his last and most loved boat the "Tenbrook". After leaving the river service he was employed by the Northwestern railway company, and for the last three years by the Clinton Sugar Refining Co., in whose service he was working when he met his untimely death Saturday morning, February 6, 1926. He was a member of Western Star lodge, 100, A.F. & A.M. The news of the tragic death of genial "Bob" Mitchell spread rapidly through the city; friends expressing their sorrow and sympathy to the bereaved and stricken family. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Margaret (Mrs. Andrew Detlefen) and three sons, Scott at home, Paul of Tucson, Arizona, and Carl of Sioux City, who arrived in the city Sunday morning to attend the services. In addition he leaves two sisters, Mrs. Elmer E. Thomas and Mrs. Angeline Mitchell, and two brothers, W.F. Mitchell and Capt. Abraham Mitchell, all of this city. A sister, Miss Emma Mitchell passed away two months ago.
