Frank Mitchell is one OF the oldest
residents OF the United States. He
came to Akron, o.. forty years ago
from Alabama. where he lived on the
estate OF Nathaniel Pride. ..
Mr.. Mitchell claims to be 1OS years of
age. Those who know him best saw
that he looked nearly as old when he
came to Akron as he does today.
When Mr.. Mitchell was just a lad
upon the old plantation he well remem-
hers the trip OF George Washington
through the south and how his master
expected that the general would pay a
visit to his plantation when he came
that way.
A big dinner was to be spread. and
In the preparation of this dinner Frank
Mitchell assisted. One OF the tooth
some morsels consisted OF chicken pie.
upon which the lad looked with very
wistful eye.
But George Washington passed over
another route, and the visit to the
plantation was not made. Mitchell
therefore had the pleasure OF eating a
piece of the chicken pie which had been
prepared for the great general.-Cleve-

The professor lives in Jersey City.
ana FOR seven or eight years his wife
has been telling him that 1t would be
