  	Isreal's middle name has been a point of contention for several years, with his obituary merely referring to him by his initials, "I,H," It has been various.ly spelled "Hagan", Highens", and "Higgens"The general feeling was that he was named for Gen Hagen, under whom his father served in the Civil War. However, the recent discuvery of his maternal grandmother's maiden name as Higgens brings this to the forefront of spellings, and so I have renamed him as Isreal Higgen Mitchells ~Ashleigh Mitchell, 26 April 2021
