He died in Whitley County Kentucky shortly after my father was born, so my father didn't really know him and there are few left who remember anything. It's been a difficult quest. Glad you are one Richard Mitchell who is documenting himself so that his granddaughter won't have all this trouble in the future. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday. My best for the new year!
