True Republican, 5 February 1898
After a wasting illness of nearly two years, Mike Phiel expired of consumption, at the home of his parents in the rear of the old Swedish Lutheran church on Wednesday night.
Mike Phiel was born February 28, 1862, at Jarsta, Ostergotland, Sweden, and came with his parents to America in 1869. After a short time spent at New York and Cleveland they came to Sycamore in 1870, where Mike grew to manhood. He was married at Elgin, Ill., July 8, 1884, to Anna Charlotte Haddorf, and to them have been born six children, the eldest of whom is 13 and the youngest about one year. Besides these there are surviving two sisters, Mrs. A. P. Carlson, of Sycamore, Mrs. Frank Peterson, of Freeholt, Penn., and four brothers, Adolph, of Elgin, Herman, Oscar and Eddy, of Waterbury, Conn. The parents, with whom Mike and his family made their home, are bed-ridden invalids and great sufferers, and this greatly afflicted family, of whom only Mrs. Mike Phiel was able to care for herself, are wholly deserving of the sympathy and aid tendered them.
But the afflictions this family is called upon to endure will be to some extent alleviated by the fact that the deceased carried an insurance of $2,000 on his life in the Modern Woodmen, which amount will go to the widow.
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock a.m., today (Saturday) at the home, and will be conducted by Rev. M. Frykman. The remains will be interred in Elmwood.
