Great Mitchell Bank Failure Unearths Family and Fortune
Sseerel correspondence from Sept 7 describes Mitchell's bank founded 1839 by Alexander Mitchell. The estate suffered after a failed wheat deal, with losses touching Senator John L. Mitchell and heirs Ferguson and Johnston. Ferdinand Schlesinger’s loans and asset dump spurred collapse, triggering lawsuits and questions over heir management, with Mrs. Mitchell seeking preferred creditor status and removal of her son as executor while creditors nationwide await assignee liquidation.
