Notes - In the summer of 1859 typhoid fever, a disease caused by contaminated food or drinking water, claimed the lives of Michael and his wife. Mary, 63, had been sick for most of the summer, about 60 days before she died in August. Her husband died on September 1st, after being sick just six days. Upon Michael's death his possessions were sold at auction. There are very familiar names among the list of those that attended. A look at the items sold gives a clue to what life must have been like here in the mid 1800s. There are the tools, plows, hoes and hayforks you would expect a life long farmer to have. There were household items like a clock, coffee mill, bureau and bedding. There was also a jar of lard, jugs of blackberries, a stew pot, tallow and a barrel of salt. There were five head of sheep, 12 geese, 9 turkeys, a cow, steer, sow and pigs and a mare. Among Michael's outstanding debts was a bill from Dr. Robert W. Phillips. According to his bill, a visit from the doctor would cost $1, sometimes a $1.50. A visit in the night would cost $2. Coffins for the couple were purchased from John M. Edwards at a cost of $12 each.
