CLASS OF 1876

Dr. Frank Walton Mitchell died of apoplexy January 12 at his home in Bakersfield, Cal.

The son of Benjamin and Roxana (Brown) Mitchell, he was born in Manchester, N. H., April 20, 1852, and fitted for the Chandler Scientific Department at Manchester High School. He was prominently connected with the brief history of boating at Dartmouth, being a member of the crews of 1874 and 1875 at the intercollegiate regattas at Saratoga, and of his class crew at the class regatta in October, 1874. He was a member of the Phi Zeta Mu fraternity (now Sigma Chi.)

After graduation he began the study of medicine with Dr. George A. Crosby '52 of Manchester, and attended lectures at Dartmouth and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, obtaining his degree from the latter in 1880. He began practice in Wisconsin, but soon removed to Calistoga, Cal. In 1902 the discovery of oil at Bakersfield caused him to remove to that city, where he was a successful practitioner up to the time of his death.

In April, 1881, Dr. Mitchell was married to Addie M., daughter of Samuel and Susan (White) Chase of Litchfield, N. H, who survives him.
