Stanford Mitchell

Stanford Mitchell was a nineteenth-century American Universalist minister, at one time settled in Caribou, Maine. He compiled Good-Will Songs, first issued in 1883 by the Universalist Publishing House, a collection of hymns and tunes for praise meetings and regular church services that went through later printings, and a few hymn texts of his own appeared in Universalist collections. In 1904, together with Emma Talbot Mitchell, he compiled The Life Hymnal, a book of song and service for Sunday schools.
