  Notes	In religious belief he was a Universalist; his wife was a Congregationalist, and the children were brought up in that church. William H. Mitchell, a blacksmith by trade, was living in Dixfield, Maine, as early as 1825; in 1834, he bought of Silas Barnard a small tract of land "situated in Dixfield Village on the South side of the County road leading from said village to Canton." On this land, extending from the main street in the centre of the village to the bank of the Androscoggin River, he built a house of two-and-a-half stories, with a blacksmith's shop near by, on the same side of the road. The kitchen garden, filled with berry-bushes, shrubs, and old-fashioned flowers, was between the house and shop. There are two famous old elms on the bank of the Androscoggin, back of where the shop formerly stood. The house is still there (1908), though somewhat changed in appearance by the addition of a veranda on the front, extending round the east side. The blacksmith's shop, which he managed in partnership with Amos Gardner in 1738, and later alone, has long since disappeared. The Baptist Church now stands on the site of the shop.
