Biography
Mrs. Mitchell was an elderly woman who, in 1966, was on board a train coming from New York bound for Collinsport, Maine. She sat next to another passenger named Victoria Winters, who was one of only two people getting off at Collinsport. Mrs. Mitchell made small talk with Vicki during the train ride, commenting about how the winters could be particularly brutal in New England. Mrs. Mitchell had lived in that part of the country her entire life and only went to Collinsport once which, as she put it, was more than enough for her.
