We gave an account yesterday of a deplorable accident through the explosion of a shell at Dannville on Tuesday, which caused the death of lady of that place. We have since learned that the lady who thus lost her life was Mrs. Mitchell, the highly esteemed wife of Mr. Thomas Mitchell, the cashier of the Branch of the flank of Kentucky at Danville. A servant girl, who was standing near Mrs. Mitchell at the time the accident occurred, received a mortal wound, which no doubt ere this resulted in her death since learned.

Mildred Mitchell was killed by a stray shot while watching a Civil War skirmish in a street. She was standing by a 3rd floor window of their home above the bank of Kentucky on Main Street in Danville, KY
