    Notes 
    • A funeral service for a Perkinsville father of 13, Stephen Mitchell and one of his daughters, Judith, both accidentally electrocuted near their home Tuesday morning following a windstorm, will be conducted at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the Dansville Assembly of God Church.

      Mr. Mitchell, 64, and his daughter, 29, were pronounced dead on arrival at Noyes Memorial Hospital, where they were taken by Wayland ambulance, by Livingston County Coroner Richard Johnson.

      According to State Police, Miss Mitchell had apparently went out to investigate a wire that had been knocked down by a tree limb during a wind storm shortly before 1 a.m. The wire had fallen across a parked car in the street near the Mitchell home.

      A neighbor, discovering Miss Mitchell on the ground after coming into contact with the wire, phoned the girl's father. Coming to his daughter's aid, he also touched the live wire. They were found by ambulance volunteers with the wire lying across them.

      Mr. Mitchell was a bender operator at Foster Wheeler Corp. in Dansville. Born in Springwater, he had lived in Perkinsville for the past 24 years. He was a member of the Dansville Assembly of God Church.

      Miss Mitchell was born in Wayland and had lived in Perkinsville all her life.

      He is survived by six daughters, Mrs. Carolyne Gruber of Andover, Mrs. Sandra Emery of Shula Vista, Calif., Mrs. Marsha Galton and Mrs. Cheryl McGinnis of Genesee, Pa., Mrs. Darlene Marble of Dansville and Miss Linda Mitchell of Rochester; six sons, the Rev. Jerry Mitchell of Dalton, Ronald of Ossian, Larry of Morningside, Md., Norbert of Syracuse, Richard of Wayland and Erwin at home; three sisters, Mrs. Mae Finch of Wayland, Mrs. Nellie Thorp of Holcomb and Mrs. Mildred Neu of Wayland; a brother, Herbert of Wayland; 27 grandchildren.

      Friends may call at the Chamberlin Funeral Home in Dansville today from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. Burial will be in Wayland Village Cemetery. (GCE, September 20, 1973, p1)
