MRS. CHLOE B. MITCHELL DIED IN COLUMBUS YESTERDAY

Yesterday morning in Columbus, Ga, Mrs. Chloe Bartlett Mitchell died at
the home of her nephew, Mr. Lloyd Bowers. Her remains will arrive here
this afternoon and will be interred at Rose Hill cemetery, where the
funeral services will be conducted by Rev. S. Y. Jameson of Atlanta.

Accompanying the remains will be Mr. Lloyd Bowers, Miss May Bowers, Miss
Blanche Ward and Miss Chatteen Mitchell, her only daughter.

Mrs. Mitchell was a daughter of Dr. Myron Bartlett, the founder of the
Macon Telegraph, and was an exceptionally brilliant woman, her
natural attainments having been accentuated by extensive travel in this
and foreign countries. She was a member of the Baptist church and for a
long time resided in Griffin, Ga, where she took an active part in the
charities maintained by the Dorcas society. On leaving Griffin with her
only daughter, Miss Chatteen Mitchell, moved to Atlanta, where there was a
greater scope for the dramatic talents of Miss Mitchell and at the time of
her death was on a visit to her nephew in Columbus.

Mrs. Mitchell belonged to one of the best families of the old South and
was related to the Kells, Varners, Napiers and others equally as prominent.

The news of her death will be received with sadness wherever she was known
and her devoted and sorely stricken daughter has the sympathies of
everyone that knew Mrs. Mitchell in life.

The funeral will take place from the 4:15 p.m. train this afternoon.
