A Pioneer Gone.
Ester Mitchell Sanford was born November 9, 1810, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Isaac Stalee, in Way land, N. Y., September 18, 1901. Mrs. Sanford was one of a family, of ten children born to Mahlon and Lotetia Mitchell, of whom but one sister survives her. Of this venerable woman much might be said but her life, long and faithful, beiug so well known it is unnecessary. To those more intimately conversant with her inner heart her worth was more appreciated, and her loss will be more deeply felt as they, with the entire community; will feel more and more as the drifting sands lay bare the need of her strong arm and motherly councils in the family and society. The deceased was one who has braved the storms of life for more than four score and ten years, suffered the privations of pioneer life, and reared a family of thirteen children, most of whom grew up to manhood and womanhood as an ornament of society, an honor to themselves, and a blessing to the world. About seventy years ago she was united in marriage to Soton Sanford and for several years resided in Garlinghouse. After the death of Mr. Sanford she removed to Minnesota where she resided for a number of years. Since then she has lived with her children here. Mrs. Sanford was truly one of those whose! heart and life were fully consecrated to Christ. She lived in constant victory, and died in blessed triumph. She possessed an even temper, calm, peaceful and hopeful. From the earthly home, inhabited by her for more than ninety years, she has gone to her eternal home in the "Many Mansions." The burdens of life are laid down, hers is the rest that remaineth to the people of God. she leaves a large circle of friends to mourn her loss including seven children, twenty-nine grand children, thirty-two greai; grandchildren. Her funeral was held at Way land, N. Y. September 16, her pastor, Rev. Janes assisted b y Rev. Dice officiating.

Fred Mitchell was a life-long resident of Potter County. He worked as a teamster (1900) as a young man still living with his parents in Eulalia Twp. For most of his life, Fred and wife Becky farmed in Genesee Twp.

US Census reports show the following names: Frederick (1880) and F.M. (1910), but Fred was the most common. He used Fred on his World War I draft registration card (1918). His father used Freddie on a pension questionnaire (1887).

Records show three different birth dates. The one he used for draft registration seems to be the most authoritative.
--24 Jan 1880, Family chart by Ron Bruce.
--23 Jan 1880, Pension questionnaire by his father.
--22 Jan 1880, Draft registration by himself.

Records show two different dates of death: 29 Dec 1940 on the Ron Bruce chart and 27 Jan 1941 on the cemetery listing.

Notes:

From: Gerry Lynn Hamilton, General Manager, Collegian Inc. (glh5@psu.edu):

Mahlon Alvin Mitchell grew up in Potter County, where he also spent his young adult years. He married Rose Byam in August 1918 and registered for the draft a month later. His 1918 draft registration and the 1920 census show that he was living in Annin Township, McKean County. He worked
as a self-employed blacksmith (1910, 1918, 1920, 1930).

In 2009, Luella Mae (Mitchell) Hamilton spoke about memories of Mahlon. She said his wife was a talker, but Mahlon was quiet: "He was nice and gentle." Luella said Mahlon and Rose often visited the Carl and Ettabell Mitchell home on Ross Glad, Coudersport, and they would stay overnight sometimes. Carl and Mahlon were brothers, and Carl and Etta were Luella's parents. Luella said Mahlon was the only one of Carl's siblings to visit often.

Mahlon is a common name in the Mitchell family. The 1920 census lists his middle initial as M. However, he signed his draft registration as Mahlon Alvin Mitchell. The signature seems to be the more authoritative source.

His draft registration also lists his birth year as 1882, but the ancestry.com image is not particularly good. If the registration card image is accurate, the draft registration official could have written the wrong year. All other availabluments list the birth year as 1883. These include the Ron Bruce chart, Mahlon's obituary, his father's pension information form, the Social Security Death Index and the 1900 census. The other census documents are consistent with a birth year of 1883/4.

The census reports present a mystery. The 1920 census report for the Mahlon Mitchell household lists a son, Charles Mitchell, age 18, born in Pennsylvania. The birth year for Charles would be 1901/2, when Mahlon was about 18. There is no otndication that Mahlon had a son. Mahlon was living with his parents in 1900 and 1910, and both census reports list him as single.

His wife Rosalie had a daughter Mabel before she married Mahlon in 1918. Using ancestry.com search, this Rosalie can not be identified in the 1910 census, and there is no combination of Rosalie (Rose, Rosa, Rosalee)
with a son Charles born 1901/2. There is no Charles Mitchell in the 1920 and 1930 census reports. Rosalie's first married name may have been Hotchkiss, and there is also no census record of this Charles Hotchkiss.

Conceivably, Charles was an adopted son. The same 1920 census report lists Carrie V. Mitchell as a 6-year-old daughter. Carrie was adopted, which is shown by the 1930 census report. In 2008, Luella said Carrie was
adopted. During a conversation in 2009, Luella did not know anything about Charles or whether Mahlon had been married earlier.

See the Rosalie Byam entry for more information about her first marriage,
Mahlon's obituary lists a daughter Phyllis Brownell. Luella said Phyllis was the daughter of Carrie and "Carrie died when Phyllis was born." Luella said Mahlon and Rose raised Phyllis, who later married a Brownell. Luella could not remembe name of Carrie's husband.

Luella did remember when Mahlon, Rose and Carrie visited Ross Glen in Coudersport, and Carrie brought a tall boyfriend. Luella said the boyfriend sang while someone -- maybe Carrie -- played the piano. Luella said she thought the boyfriend't name might be Star. Luella thought this visit was some years before Carrie married. [The 1930 census shows that Elmer L. Starr of Kane was born about 1914, which is about the same age as Carrie. He was the only male Starr listed in McKean County with a birth year ranging from 1908 to 1918. There were no Starrs listed in Potter County.]

ST. MIHIEL OFFENSIVE in France
Source: Rickard, J (10 Aug 2007), Battle of Saint Mihiel, 12-13 Sep 1918,
http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/battles_st_mihiel.html

"The battle of St. Mihiel saw the first major independent American offensive of the First World War." The objective: Eliminate a salient
(bulge) in the German lines near the town of St. Mihiel. In the face of the American build-up, the Germans had decided to abandon the position.
The German withdrawal began on 11 Sep. On the following morning, the First American Army attacked under the command of Gen. John Pershing.
"The Germans were caught by surprise. Outnumbered and slightly out of position, the German position collapsed. In 36 hours the Americans took over 13,000 prisoners and captured 466 guns. The Germans lost 5,000 killed
and wounded, while the Americans suffered 7,000 casualties."

MEUSE-ARGONNE OFFENSIVE
Source: Rickard, J (6 Sep 2007), Meuse River-Argonne Forest Offensive, 26 Sep-11 Nov 1918,
http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/battles_meuse_argonne.html

"The Meuse-Argonne offensive ... was the southern part of the great triple offensive that broke the German lines on the Western Front. It was also the biggest battle fought by the American Expeditionary Force during the war."
The battle ended with the armistice at 1100 hours on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
"The Meuse-Argonne offensive cost the Americans 117,000 casualties, the French 70,000 and the Germans 100,000. The American casualties
represented 40% of their total battlefield loses during the war. Amongst those loses were 48,909 dead. In a dreadful irony, the Spanish Influenza
would eventually kill 53,000 American soldiers before the end of the war."

WAYLAND---Mr. & Mrs. A. J. PARDEE's residence presented a fine appearance this evening where some fifty of our citizens assembled within its walls to witness the marriage of Miss EMMA E. SCOTT of this village and Mr. WILLARD DEGOLYER of Gloversville. The ceremony was performed by Rev. WILLIAM BARTLE of the Methodist-Episcopal Church. Mis Scott has lived in Wayland some three years and has many friends here. The young couple received many useful presents from their friends. Mr. & Mrs. Degolyer start out together with excellent prospects and the kindest wishes of many friends. In this connection it is well to state that this evening was the anniversary of the marriage of Mr. & Mrs. PARDEE, and they received a gift of a very elegant chair from Mr. & Mrs. Degolyer.
