Death*

Peter Michael died on 5 March 1893 at Cass, Indiana, at age 82.¹

(Witness) Bio

PETER MICHAEL. One of the pioneers of Cass county, who did a worthy part in the development of the material resources of the county, and who established his family now well known in this and other sections of the middle west, was Peter Michael, who for nearly sixty years was a resident of Harrison township, and who during his life there witnessed practically every phase of development from the clearing of the original wilderness down to the time of railroads and electric facilities.
Peter Michael, who was of mingled German and Scotch ancestors, was born in Virginia, but now West Virginia, January 15, 1811. His death occurred March 5, 1893. His father was a farmer in Morgan county, West Virginia, and the family belonged to that sterling class of Scotch-Irish people who gave character to the entire life of mountain district of Virginia, and other middle eastern states. The other children in the family, brothers and sisters of Peter were: Samuel, Andrew, and William, and Mrs. Harriet Burk, Mrs. Martha Caw, and Mrs. Nellie Bruner. Peter Michael was reared in West Virginia, had the education of the old field schools, was trained to habits of industry and to the strict religious life that prevailed in that section of the country during the early part of the nineteenth century. In the fall of 1835 he accomplished the journey westward by river and canal and wagon road to Cass county, Indiana, settling in Harrison township on the farm, which continued to be his home until his death, nearly sixty years later. He was a farmer, was a man of thrift and good management, and provided well for his large family, and his later years were spent in comfortable circumstances. He was a Democrat in politics until the Civil war, and after that a Republican. He served as a trustee of his township, and was always held in the highest esteem in his community. In religion he was non-sectarian with a preference for the Episcopal church.
Peter Michael married Christina Frushour, daughter of Solomon Frushour, a farmer of West Virginia. She was born in West Virginia, and their marriage occurred April 17, 1834. They were married fifty-nine years. Mrs. Peter Michael died December 22, 1907.
The children of Peter Michael and wife with dates of birth, and present residence are as follows: William Uriah, born in Ohio, January 31, 1835, and now a resident of Harrison township; Susan Winn, born April 5, 1837, and died April 12, 1893; Albert P., born July 27, 1838, and a resident of Logansport; Harriet Beard, born December 25, 1839, living in Chillicothe, Missouri; Ellen McKee, born July 25, 1841, and living at Kahoka, Missouri; Mary Thomas, born March 18, 1843, living at LaFountaine, Indiana; George W., born March 14, 1845, living in Campbell, Missouri; Lydia J., born November 4, 1846, died June 11, 1855; Celia E., born October 1, 1848, died October 8, 1848; Samuel A., born December 25, 1849, a resident of Logansport; Martha Curl, born October 3, 1851, living at Bloomfield, Iowa; Margaret A., born June 1, 1853, died September 1, 1853; Emily Puterbaugh, born October 5, 1855.
