"The remains of the late John G. Mitchell were brought to Somers on Sunday afternoon and interred in Oakwood Cemetery.  John G. Mitchell, aged 60 years, died in Chicago on Friday July 31, 1914, following a stroke of paralysis.  The deceased was born in Somers and spent the greater part of his life here.  He was a singer of note and for years he successfully conducted singing schools in this and neighboring localities.  He is survived by a wife and one son.  A large company of friends and relatives attended the short services at the grove."

Note:
See the Spence family information on this Oakwood Cemetery site for more information about the Mitchell family.  His daughter, Belle, lived in Chicago and it appears he died while staying with her.  Unfortunately, the newspaper article above states he was brought back to Oakwood Cemetery to be buried however there is no gravestone for him.  His wife was Janet Mitchell.  She has a gravestone. at Oakwood.
