After his father's death, Michael bought most of the family's
farm from the estate.
Michael lived all his life in Clinton County. The immediate cause of
his death was heart trouble and he had been in failing health for
several months.
His granddaughter Mary (Boysen) Carey remembered that they were visiting
her grandparents for his birthday
in 1929 when he died after midnight on Dec. 4.
