Obituary for Stephen Columbus Mitchell, Boliver Free Press,August 19, 1904.

"Stephen C. Mitchell, familiarly known as "Lum" died at this home in Bolivar, Friday, August 19, 1904 and was buried the following day in Greenwood Cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Reverend G. J. Hunt, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Stephen was born in Blount Co. Tennessee September 18,m1831, and lacked only one month of being 73 years of age at the time of his death. Stephen came with his parents to Polk County in 1835 and has resided here ever since. He enlisted in the Union Army and served until 1864 when he resigned as a Second Lieutenant of the Company of which his brother, L. J. (Lafayette Jackson) was Captain. He was twice married, first to Miss Martha A. Hendricks of Arkansas on January 22, 1859 who died August 16, 1892. To them were born nine children: Lafayette A. (deceased), Alice C., Austin A., Albert P., and infant who died shortly after birth, Emma J., Edward L., Mattie E., Mark C. Stephen was married a second time to Cinda Austin who with the six children above named survive him.

He was a Christian, havign been converted at the Mitchell Campground, long famed as a revival meeting place and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church of Bolivar and continued a faithful member until his death.

About the close of the war in 1867 or 1868, he engaged in merchandising in Bolivar, where he continued until the day of his death, though in later years he had given over the management of his business to his sons. He was one of a large family, who are noted for their strong physique, and enjoyed unusually good health until his last sickness. He was a man of rugged honesty, who would miss a sale of goods rather than misrepresent an article. Perhaps no citizen of the county ever gave more constant attention to this business or took so little recreation. His death takes another of the pioneer citizens, who have done so much for the upbuilding of our town and county and whose ranks are being rapidly diminished by the ruthless hand of death. Peace to his ashes."
