FREDRICK C. MICHAEL, who resides on section 33, Fremont Township, is 
well known throughout Tuscola County as a practical farmer and 
honorable citizen. He was born in Prussia, Germany, and is a son of 
Fredrick and Eureka Michael, both natives of Prussia. In his boyhood 
days Fredrick Michael, father of our subject, lived upon a farm and has 
always followed that calling. In 1853 he emigrated with his family to 
America, locating in Erie County, Pa., and there remaining upon a farm 
until 1882. That year marked his arrival in Tuscola County and his 
settlement in Watertown Township, where he still resides.

   Of the marriage of Fredrick Michael and Eureka Khahelman, which 
occurred in 1841, nine children were born, our subject being the eldest 
and the only one now living. The mother passed away in 1884. At the age 
of twenty-one years our subject began life for himself and commenced to 
work upon a farm in Erie County, Pa., where he remained for about 
fifteen years. He then came to his present home in Tuscola County, 
where he has since re-sided. He is busily engaged in cultivating his 
eighty-acre farm, which bears good improvements.

   In 1863 Mr. Michael was married to Catherine, the daughter of 
Christopher and Eureka Hahn, and of this union seven children have been 
born, namely: Edward F., John W., Kate C. (wife of Frank Malery) Clara 
M., Amelia, Pauline and Frank. The two last named are deceased. Mr. and 
Mrs. Michael are members in good standing in the Lutheran Church and 
people of great worth of character and nobility of life.
