Who We Are: Dating back to the middle of the last century, before the Civil War, MITCHELL INSURANCE, INC. may be the oldest business in continuous operation in Butler County. The agency was started by James McJunkin, on East Jefferson St., just off Main St. His sons, Loyal and Ira McJunkin, followed him into the agency, operating as L. S. McJunkin & Co. In 1894 they hired George Mitchell, the son of a pioneer New Castle family, as a policy-writer, because of his beautiful handwriting. He became a full-time employee, then a partner, and later bought out the McJunkins when they retired. George Mitchell was joined in 1936 by his son, Loyal, and the name of the business was changed to Mitchell Insurance Agency. In 1976 Loyal's son, William, joined the agency, which incorporated in 1981 with Loyal as President and Bill as VP. Loyal and Bill have been awarded both the CPCU and CLU designations. Partly as a result of total computerization in 1980, the agency has been able to grow over 400% in premium volume while growing in personnel from four to ten employees. To accommodate this growth, the agency in 1985 bought their present office building at the corner of Brady and Washington Streets. The Mitchell agency is primarily involved in providing insurance protection for business and industry, but is still a major writer of personal auto, homeowners, life, health and annuities. After over 160 years of service to this area, the agency is confident that they are going to continue to grow and that their ability to serve this area will improve as they further expand their operations with a highly competent staff of employees, almost unlimited insurance markets available, and experience in surviving both good and bad times.
Always Progressive, our agency was one of the first in this area to completely computerize all of our operations. We have continuously updated our capabilities in an effort to provide the highest level of service to our clients. Some of the services that we provide to our clients include:
We are located in the heart of downtown Butler, PA at the corner of Brady and Washington Streets - within 5 blocks of the other locations we have occupied over the past160 years.
