Rev. Ira C. Mitchell
The Rev. Ira C. Mitchell. Of the Rev. Ira C. Mitchell, the new pastor of the Disciple church in this city, the Pan-Handle News of Wellsburg, W. Va., of Feb. 14 says: "Rev. Ira C. Mitchell left yesterday, with his family, for an enlarged field of labor with the church at Mansfield, O. Few men have gone from this community who ranked with him in force, eloquence and ability, either as minister or attorney. Socially, he was a most companionable man; pleasant and fascinating in conversation, deep, keen and logical whether in or out of the pulpit, and with a wide scope of general knowledge rarely met with in professional men. Although having come in contact with the people both as pastor and lawyer, yet he leaves behind him not one with an unkind feeling, and takes with him only their love, regard and good wishes. His noble wife and her bright, pleasant daughters will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of their acquaintance, and who knew them but to love them."
