Well known Citizen of Cadiz hit by automobile and death follows. Remains brought back to Cadiz and buried at East End Cemetery Sunday afternoon. Mr. F.M. Mitchell, a well known citizen of Cadiz, met a tragic death at West Palm Beach, Fla; on November 25th.
He was stuck by an automobile as he was alighting from a bus going to his work, and died within a few minutes after.
News of Mr. Mitchell's death reached Cadiz in a brief telegram from Mrs. Mitchell to a daughter, Mrs. Lois Cunningham of this city.
Mr. Mitchell left Cadiz just a few months ago and had been doing well in his new location. Just a few weeks ago Mrs. Mitchell and the two youngest daughters joined him.
The remains were brought back to Cadiz, accompanied by Mrs. Mitchell and the two little daughters, and reached here Saturday night. They were taken to the home of Mr. Lois Cunningham, the son-in-law, and funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Dr. W.E. Mitchell, of the Baptist Church, with burial following at East End Cemetery.
Mr. Mitchell was a son of the late W.J. Mitchell, living near Bethesda, and for a number of years past had resided in Cadiz.
His aged mother is living, together with the wife and six daughters and one son; Mrs. Lois Cunningham, Granville Mitchell, and Mrs. Roy Freeman of Cadiz; Mrs. R.L. Trice of Dixon; Mrs. Jessie Barry, of Louisville and two little girls, Laura Lee and Annaliza.
He is also survived by two brothers, Lee Mitchell, of Paducah; W. King Mitchell, of Cadiz and several sisters.
His tragic death brought much sorrow and sadness to his many friends in his old home County of Trigg.
The West Palm Beach Post of November 26th says of the accident that caused his death:
F.M. Mitchell, aged fifty-five, of 313 South Rosemary Street, was fatally injured at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning when he stepped from behind a bus into the path of another machine. He died at Good Samaritan Hospital before medical aid could be given him.
Sheriff R.C. Baker, who made the investigation into the death of Mr. Mitchell stated it appeared to be an unavoidable accident. According to witnesses who appeared before the coroner's jury following the fatality. Mitchell dismounted from a Northwood bus into the path of the car, which was driven by Lewis Butler, negro. The latter swerved his car to avoid hitting Mitchell, but he was caught by the left front fender, rolled against the running board and hurled to the pavement. He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital by C.N. McElvey, of Kelsey City, but died a few minutes after his admittance from a fractured skull.
The coroner's jury will convene again Friday morning at 10 o'clock at review further evidence before returning a verdict. Mitchell had been here about six months coming from Cadiz, KY; with his wife and two children. He has five other grown children in the north. The body will be shipped from Ferguson's undertaking establishment to Cadiz tonight.
