Andrew Michels
Death came suddenly to the Andrew Michels home and claimed Mr. Michels late Friday afternoon (November 12, 1926) while he was about his work on his farm near Morris. During the day he had spoken of not feeling very well, but apparently gave it no serious thought and while doing the evening work about the barn was stricken with appoplexy(sic). Mr. Michels has lived on his farm near Morris nearly 16 years and, with the help of his family, had developed it into one of the attractive farm homes of the county. He is survived by his wife, seven children and ten grandchildren. Mr. Michels was born at Port Washington, Wisconsin (should be Fredonia, Wisconsin) January 22, 1855. (1856 on birth certificate and gravestone) Before coming to Morris in 1911 (should be 1910) he lived at Le Sueur, Minnesota and Marshfield, Wisconsin. He was married to Anna Jost on June 7, 1887. (At St. Thomas Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota) Funeral services were held at Assumption Church Monday morning and despite the stormy weather and drifted roads, a large number attended. Rev. Father George Rauch conducted the services. Besides Mr. Michel's daughters and son, all of whom were present at the funeral, the out-of-town relatives who attended were: Leo W. Pryor of St. Paul and Robert Stenger of Austin, sons-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Jost of Maple Lake and Samuel Bauer and son, Frank Bauer of Le Sueur. The daughters are Mrs. J.P.
