"Death of Ozro Mitchell;
Well known pioneer of this section, passed away Sunday night. Ozro Mitchell, one of the pioneers of this state died Sunday night, in this city. Mr Mitchell was a native of Tennessee, aged 75 years, and has resided in this state over 50 years. For many years past he has resided on his ranch, a large body of land lying near Tagus Switch. He was unmarried, and had no relatives so far as known, except his brother, Adolphus Mitchell, who resided with him. He was a very successful man in business affairs, farming and stock raising being his principal pursuits. He was of something of a mechanical turn of mind, and made a number of violins, which experts have pronounced to be of a very fine quality. The funeral services will be held this morning at 10 o'clock, at the Brooks Undertaking parlors, after which the body will be taken to Tulare for interment, in the cemetery in that city."
