MITCHELL Lovina - At Mitchell Creek, Tioga, Pa., November 19th, 1861, Lovina Inscho, wife of John Inscho, Esq., aged 66 years. The deceased was the only surviving daughter of Richard Mitchell, one of the early settlers of this valley, who nearly sixty years ago came in this county and undertook the hardships of pioneer life. She had but one sister, who died while quite young. She had four brothers, three of whom are yet living. Her father and mother were long since gone to the "spirit world." she was a woman of excellent judgment, and very reasonable qualities in the times in which she lived. With a retentive and --- memory, she was well supplied with interesting incidents in the early history of this county, to many of which I have often listened with much satisfaction while she was relating them with great accuracy. The experience of a long and industrious life gave her much correct knowledge, and that wisdom for which we should all have a high respect. But I cannot say what I would in the space, proper to be used. She is gone, and rests with her kindred. She was a lifelong, faithful member of the Baptist Church, and is undoubtedly receiving the rewards of Christian fortitude and sacrifices. - Wellsboro Agitator, January 8, 1862 p4
