TCGA’s Aaron Nelson Remembers Cotton Farmer And Ginner Myrl Mitchell The cotton industry recently lost a dear friend. Myrl Mitchell passed away on Feb. 2. He was born at the foot of Lone Wolf Hill in Mitchell County, Texas, just south of Loraine. Myrl was a cotton farmer and a cotton gin owner for more than 50 years. He was preceded in death by six brothers and one sister. Myrl is survived by his wife of 61 years, Mercidine Brunet Mitchell; two sons, Jimmy and his wife, Leah, of Lenorah, and Michael and his wife, Laura, of Fort Worth; seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren with a couple more on the way. The cotton industry can be a small world. Many of us had the pleasure of knowing Myrl and his wife, Mercidine. When talking with someone about West Texas cotton, you could often ďŹ nd common ground in Myrl; it seemed as if everyone knew him. When you talked about Myrl, it was always positive. I don’t think I ever picked up a negative word about him. Although not large in physical stature, he was larger than life in both cotton ginning and farming. I cannot think of a time when Myrl and Mercidine did not have a smile on their faces. Both were always upbeat and anxious to talk about cotton or whatever the subject might be. They were simply a pleasure to be around. Many of you received calls from Myrl over the years.
