HISTORY by Tony Howe:
Mitchell was first listed in the 5-11-1884 employee timetable for the NO&NE as having a 57 car siding. The name was changed to Richardson in the 8-2-1903 timetable. The railroad siding was extended in 1913, and was removed by 1939. INDUSTRY - Bailey Brothers Lumber Co.- 1904-05 Day Lumber & Manufacturing Co.- 1905-1907 D. C.
