The Macon Telegraph
8 June 1905

MRS. MITCHELL BURIED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

Mrs. Chloe Bartlett Mitchell whose death at Columbus was mentioned in
yesterday's Telegraph, was laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery
yesterday afternoon amid impressive ceremonies. The remains arrived on
the 4:15 train from Columbus and was escorted to their last resting place,
the following acting as pallbearers: J. Wingfield Nisbet, Henley V.
Napier, Hitt M. brown, Tris Napier, J. N. Neal, Harry P. Brown.

The casket was literally covered with choice flowers that had been sent
from friends in Columbus, Griffin, Macon and other points and the grave
was a bloom with the fragrance that the deceased loved so much in life.

Dr. S. Y. Jameson, who conducted the service, read the 7th chapter of
Revelations, giving emphasis to its beauty by his application. He then
spoke of the life and character of the deceased whom he knew so well, and
paid a beautiful tribute to a character that was noble in all details.

Miss Chattlen Mitchell, the heartbroken daughter who survives her, is in
the city, the guest of her cousin, Mrs. J. Wingfield Nisbet.
