    ISSUE:—
    1. John, married to Anna Behm. He died in 1855, aged 51 years. Children: John, married to Catharine Keim. He is deceased; Henry (dec'd), married to Lovina Miller; Michael B., born March 20, 1845, died at Harrisburg, Pa., July 13, 1889. Disease, congestive fever. Lies buried at Deny, Dauphin Co. He was married to Fannie Strickler. She was born Jan. 13, 1847. Michael lived formerly at Deny, Dauphin Co., where he owned a fine farm. He was a man of intelligence, and influential in his locality, having filled at different periods nearly all the elective offices of his township. In 1877 he resigned the office of school-director to become County Commissioner of Dauphin County, which position he filled two terms. At the time of his death he was Prison Warden at Harrisburg, which office he had held over two years. Michael had been raised by his uncle, Mr. Behm, ex-commissioner of Dauphin County; he was a poor boy, but by a close application to his books, he acquired a good education in the schools of his neighborhood, and by industry and perseverance amassed considerable property. During Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania Michael shouldered the musket in defense of our State against the Confederates. In politics he was a thorough Republican, and in a political contest was seldom vanquished. He was a man of large stature, noble bearing, benevolent disposition, greatly beloved by his family and highly esteemed by his numerous friends. I visited the family at Deny in the Fall of 1883 and again in 1889 at Harrisburg. Widow Meyer is at present filling the office of Prison Warden left vacant by the death of her husband. The couple were married Nov. 6, 1866, and had nine children. Children: Annie M.; Frances F.; Harvey S.; Ada S.; Lizzie G.; Clara S.; John S.; Emma S.: Mary V.
