  M. F. MITCHELL, manager of the Continental Clothing House, the largest establishment of its kind in Appleton, has had a wide and varied experience in this line of business and is well known to the clothing trade of Northern Wisconsin. He was born in Illinois in 1858, and is a son of Simeon and Isabella Mitchell, who came to Appleton in 1894. Simeon Mitchell located in Lake county, Indiana, in 1859, and in 1867 went to Carthage, Missouri, where he resided twenty-two years. In 1887 he went to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and in 1891 located at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, going thence to Appleton, where he resided until 1903, and in that year went to Fond du Lac, where his death occurred. Mrs. Mitchell died at Fond du Lac in 1906. They had a family of five children, as follows: M. F.; Catherine, who married Professor George Ashley; R. M., in the gents' furnishing business at Fond du Lac; W. T., also engaged in that line in that city; and Mary, who married R. A. Metcalf of New York City. M. F. Mitchell received his early educational training in the schools of Jasper county, Missouri, and as a young man became a clerk in a dry goods store in Carthage, Mo. He moved to Iowa in 1887, working one year for Stern & Wilner at Cedar Rapids, and then entering the employ of S. B. Dicks, with whom he remained five years and at the end of that time was again associated with Mr. Stern as manager of his store at Ottumwa, Iowa, continuing there ten months. The Continental Clothing House was opened September 15, 1894, by Sam Stern, of Chicago, M. F. and R. M. Mitchell being the managers, and the firm is now Stern, Ullman Company, M. F. Mitchell and E. J. Koch managers. Thirteen men are employed in this house, which deals in all supplies for men except shoes, and a specialty is made of Hart, Shaffner & Marx clothing. It is the biggest establishment of its kind in Appleton, having a first floor space 30x120 feet, and a second story 30x60 feet. It is modern in every way, and Mr. Mitchell's long experience has fitted him to fill the position which he holds with much ability. In July, 1885, Mr. Mitchell was married to Nettie A. White, of Carthage, Missouri, daughter of J. B. and Jennie (Black) White, and three children have been born to this union: Matthew White, who is attending business college, has just attained his majority; Robert Baxter, aged nineteen years, who is attending Lawrence University; and William Dean, a public school pupil, aged fourteen years. The family is connected with the Episcopal Church, and Mr. Mitchell is connected with the Elks and the River View Country Club.
