Mrs. Ray Mitchell died at a local hospital Saturday after a short illness. Few, if any women, in this part of the state, had personal acquaintance with so many people, both Indians and whites. Lucy Mitchell was a daughter of Dan Mitchell of Poplar and was born on the present site of Wolf Point 37 years ago. She was of part Indian blood, said to be 3/8ths, and was known to virtually all Indians on Fort Peck reservation, as well as many of the white people. she had cared for many sick persons and done many other acts of kindness for both races. She was sometimes employed by the Sheriff's office as police matron. She married a white man of her own name, Ray Mitchell, a stockman and manager of the Wolf Point Stampedes.
