Ruth Mitchell – A likely calamity has befallen Professor and Mrs R H Mitchell in the loss
of their three year old daughter, Ruth, who died yesterday. An infant child died only a
few days ago. The cause of death was whooping cough and other children in the family are
still sick. The body of the little girl was shipped to Santa Rosa last night for burial.
On account of the death of the child of Professor Mitchell, who is principle of the Sparks
Schools, the schools will remain closed close on Monday and Tuesday by order of the
Trustees. I am only a volunteer, I have no connection to this family.
