James Mitchell, (1858-18/2/1904). "a large circle of friends"

SOMETHING WORTH READING. 

THERE is science in providing first-class eatables, and when connoisseurs are of the one opinion that JAMES MITCHELL is the right man in the right place 

IT IS THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. 

Since the removal into New and Commodious Premises the result has been fully up to the expectation of the proprietor, and he now takes the opportunity of THANKING the masses for past favors, with a wish for a CONTINUANCE in the future. 

THE SUCCESS

Is due to KEEPING FIRST-CLASS PASTRY, which cost no more than inferior stuff. EVERY CUSTOMER PLEASED is the best advertisement. 

This is a truism, which is always in the minds of those who from time to time visit James Mitchell's Refreshments Rooms. 

Frean and Co.'s and Colonial-made Biscuits and Wafers always to be had. 

TOOTHSOME CONFECTIONERY 

In Endless Variety.

It will come as a great shock to many to hear of the death of Mr James Mitchell, confectioner. Although 'it was known among his friends that Mr Mitchell had been in an indifferent state of health for some time, there was no thought that the end was so near. But last Tuesday night a decided turn for the worse took place, and since then Mr Mitchell rapidly sank, passing away last evening. During a residence of some 20 years in Oamaru, the deceased gentleman had made a large circle of friends, and though he led a somewhat retired life, was well known for his kindly and cheerful disposition. He was for many years connected with Columba Church, and his death will be regretted by the many who held him in high esteem. He leaves a widow to mourn her loss. Mr Mitchell was only 45 years of age at the time of his death.  -Oamaru Mail, 19/2/1904.


THE BRETHREN of the MANCHESTER UNITY are respectfully requested to MEET at the Oddfellows' Hall on SUNDAY, at 2 o'clock sharp, for the purpose of attending the funeral of the late BRO. JAMES MITCHELL. Regalia, with white tie and gloves. G. BROWNLEE, Secretary.  -Oamaru Mail, 19/2/1904.


Mrs James Mitchell desires us to state that the confectionery business will be carried on as heretofore.   -Oamaru Mail, 23/2/1904.
