Davis Robertson Mitchell was also known as Davis Robinson (Sr.) Mitchell. He was in Shoe Store Salesman.
5 * [I note that we had his middle name as Robertson but "in his own handwriting" on his WWII draft card he has signed his signature Davis "ROBINSON" Mitchell. I'm inclined to go with this despite the fact that in find-a-grave his name is shown as Davis "Robertson" Mitchell (inscription on the stone is only Davis R. Mitchell).] MJ

* In 1910, just married, Davis and Della were living in Bloomfield, New Jersey with his parents Frank and Sarah Mitchell.
