Additional Description: The Mitchel Funeral Home, located in Frenchtown and originally owned by Wilbur Mitchell, met the burial needs of Black families in Tallahassee prior to the sale of the establishment to Thomas and Mamie Strong. In 1947, following the death of Thomas, Mamie convinced Elbert and Inez Jones (top, left) to become co-owners, thus forming Strong and Jones Funeral Home.
