MITCHELL, T. A. K. Was born in Ohio, June 5, 1848. When he was seven years of age his parents moved to Iowa.
In 1867, the subject of this sketch returned to Ohio, where he served as an apprentice to the blacksmith trade
for two and a half years. He then went to Kentucky where he was under instructions for one year. The succeeding
year was spent in Tennessee at his trade, when he returned to Iowa and after following his trade there for one
year he engaged in farming for one year. In 1873, he came to California, and after spending about four months in
Lake County he went to Yolo County and worked at blacksmith at the Reed Quicksilver Mine for about four months
He then returned to Lake County and was foreman of a blacksmith shop at Sulphur Bank for two and a half years,
since which time he has been engaged in blacksmithing at Lower Lake. Mr. Mitchell is an industrious, good, and
clever machinist, and is reaping the reward of industry. He was married July 10, 1872, to Miss Sarepta D. Bingham,
a native of Illinois, by whom he has four children: Rosana D., Sarah G., Gregory W. C., and Mary E.
