A brown French poodle, the faithful friend and companion of the Mitchell family when he died, aged 14 years, he was buried on the land now known as Mitchell Park in memory of Morton Mitchell. The will of Mrs. Elizabeth Patterson Mitchell filed in 1918 made the following provision:
To the City of Washington DC, I leave my lot on S Street to the memory of Morton Mitchell for a park. It was intended for our home, and our old dog, whose bones rest there, is not to be disturbed. |
