A History of Kentucky Baptists From 1769 to 1885, Including More Than 800 Biographical Sketches, J. H. Spencer, Manuscript Revised and Corrected by Mrs. Burilla B. Spencer, In Two Volumes. Printed For the Author. 1886. Republished By Church History Research & Archives 1976 Lafayette, Tennessee. Vol. 2, pp 103-104 [Mason County] HARRY W. MITCHELL, a young preacher of excellent gifts, was raised up to the ministry in Maysville church. He was born Oct. 28, 1842. He received a fair English education, and having united with the church in early life, was licensed to preach, Dec. 7, 1861. The well-known W. P. Harvey, now of Harrodsburg, was licensed to preach at the same time and place. Mr. Mitchell preached as a licentiate, with zeal and efficiency during the War. He was ordained at Maysville, by Cleon Keys, J. W. Bullock, J. M. Bent and J. M. Bennett, Feb. 23, 1865. He preached for a time, with much acceptance, at Aberdeen, Ohio. From thence he was called to the care of Stone Lick church, in Mason county, Ky. Here he was much beloved by his people. But he did not live long to minister to their spiritual wants. He died of consumption of the lungs, July 11, 1866. "He was a noble young man," says Prof. H. M. Smith, "and a pattern of piety and devotion to the cause to which he had devoted his life."
