Mitchell Rites Set Thursday
Requiem mass for Mrs. Margaret Jackling Mitchell, 87 years old, one of the state's oldest pioneers and charter member of the State Federation of Women's Clubs and the Pioneer Association of Washington, who died in a fire at the home of a daughter at Ferndale Saturday, will be said at 10 o'clock Thursday forenoon in St. James' Cathedral. Burial will be in Lake View. Bonney-Watson Funeral Parlors are directing arrangements.
Mrs. Mitchell was burned to death when she rushed into the home of a daughter, Mrs. J.F. Burpee, to save some keepsakes of her pioneer Seattle days and early life on Puget Sound. The daughter and the son-in-law, with whom she had been living for the past two months, were visiting friends at the time of the tragedy.
A native of Galena, Illinois, Mrs. Mitchell came west in 1860 in a prairie schooner with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Jackling, when she was a child. She came to Seattle by boat from San Francisco.
The family made the first home at Utsalady, near Stanwood, where Mr. Jackling operated one of the first sawmills on Puget Sound. As a child, Mrs. Mitchell attended St. Anne's Convent in Victoria, British Columbia, commuting between her home and the convent by Indian canoe.
In 1869, Mrs. Mitchell moved to Seattle with her parents, who made their first home here near First Avenue and Spring Street. They later moved to a new home at First Avenue and Virginia Street.
In 1878 she was married to the late Captain Jonathan F.T. Mitchell, pioneer marine architect and contracting ship builder here. Captain Mitchell died in 1898. After living in Seattle for more than seventy years, she moved to Ferndale two months ago.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. L.J. Giard of Eugene, Oregon and Mrs. Burpee; a son, W.W. Mitchell, 8102 Latona Avenue and two sisters, Mrs. John Collins and Miss Josephine Jackling of Seattle.
