• Notes

  There is some disagreement between two history books, and the family, asto his background. But he was born on the family farm near Euclid, PA,where his father, the 2nd Christopher lived and died. He was educated inlocal schools, then went to Grove City College and Jefferson MedicalCollege of the City of Philadelphia. One of the histories stated that hegraduated in 1881 - although naming the wrong college apparently. Hebegan his practice at West Sunbury, but after three to four years,removed to Farmington (now Eau Claire), where he remained for the balanceof his life. However, after the death of his first wife, he removed toNew Castle, PA, for two years or so. But they were very there andreturned to their old home at Eau Claire. He owned several properties inthat town, and a farm in Venango Township, Butler Co., which was occupiedfor a time by his son John and family. Dr. Michael is buried with hisfirst wife in the East Unity Church Cemetery, a few miles from town.After his death, his second wife went to live with a sister, and isburied with her. They were members of the United Presbyterian Church ofEau Claire.
