The son of Jacob Michael, in 1860 he was a clerk presumably living in York County, Pennsylvania, although he is not found in that census. He stood 5' 9" tall and had brown hair and blue eyes. Baltimore County, Maryland, is also reported as his birth location.
A Civil War veteran, he served two terms of service:
1. Enlisted at an unrecorded age in Harrisburg April 20, 1861, mustered into federal service that day as a private with Co. H, 16th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company July 26, 1861.
2. Enlisted at the stated age of twenty-one at Baltimore, Maryland, July 29, 1862, and mustered into federal service that day as a private with Co. F, 4th Maryland Infantry. He went AWOL from Maryland Heights to date December 20, 1862, but returned to duty January 3, 1863. It was about that time when he submitted a formal request to be transferred to the U.S. Navy but was denied, possibly motivating his "French leave." He faced a regimental court-marital and sentenced to forfeit $2.00 pay, suggesting the offense was hardly a serious one, and he was promoted to corporal June 1, 1864. Captured April 1, 1865, at White Oak Road near Petersburg, Virginia, he was paroled the next day at Aikens Landing and forwarded to Camp Parole in Annapolis, Maryland. Furloughed for thirty days on April 12, he returned May 12 following and honorably discharged at Annapolis, Maryland, May 31, 1865, at which time the army withheld $18.67 (more than a month's pay) from his final pay for overdrawn clothing.
After the war, he married Lavinia Margaret Michael [sic] and fathered Thomas Ellsworth (b. 1866, d. 1867), Nettie May (b. 05/11/69 - married Clarence J. Stoddard), William Emory (b. 09/10/75), Nellie Dehass (b. 08/09/78 - married Benjamin West Billmire), and Mamie Ethel (b. 06/19/81 - married Harry Humbert). He died at his daughter Mamie's home.
