Michael, Philip -- Philip Michael, one of
the older and well known residents of Mansfield, died Wednesday evening
at 9:30 o'clock at his home, 116 North Adams. He was born in
Hessen Darmstadt, Germany, Oct. 15, 1834, and had therefore reached the
age of 79 years. He came to America with his parents when 18 years
old and settled in Mansfield in 1853. He resided in Mansfield
during the entire period with the exception of 19 years when he resided
in Sandusky Township. He is survived by three daughters, Miss
Elizabeth and Mrs. Mary Corbett of this city, and Mrs. P.C. Keefe, of
Toledo, and five sons, Andrew, William, Joseph, Charles and Frank, all
of this city. Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at
8:30 o'clock at St. Peter's Catholic church, conducted by the Rev.
Father Schreiber. After the services at the church the body will
be taken to Crestline in a special funeral car and the burial will be in
the Michael family lot in the Crestline cemetery.

Mickey, Ezra W. -- Mr. Ezra W. Mickey died on
Saturday last. A more extended notice will appear next week. [Shelby
Independent News: 20 March 1873, Vol. 5, No. 21]
Mickey, Ezra W. -- As briefly announced last week,
Ezra W. Mickey died on Saturday, March 15th., 1873, aged 25 years, 4
months and 15 days. He had been lingering for a long time with a
pulmonary complaint making it evident to himself and friends, that in
all human probability his days on earth would be few. He was however
fully prepared for the change, and those who mourn his loss know that he
is lost on earth as a star is lost, only to shine in a brighter world.
He was one of our young business men, always so full of interest to
community, who having chosen a companion, had settled down in life, like
many others, expecting to become one our permanent business men. With
bright prospects before them, and buoyant hopes within, they commenced
the journey of life together, their happiness only measured by their
capacity for its enjoyment, when the Providential hand was seen slowly
removing the cup from their lips, and they compelled to taste the
bitterness of another, filled with the disappointment of all earthly
hopes. But such is life! There is no discharge in this war. All must
meet with a similar fate, and sooner or later, death comes to all. He
who doeth all things well, hath ordered it thus; and it becomes us, hard
as it may seem, to submit with Christian resignation. On Monday, March
17, his remains were followed to their final resting place in Oakland
Cemetery, by a large number of sympathizing friends and relatives.

May 1872, Vol. 4, No. 30]
Mickey, Rebecca Cummins -- Mrs. Rebecca C. Mickey,
wife of Mr. Thomas Mickey, died on Friday last at about noon. Her death
was not unexpected, she having been a great sufferer for over a year
last past; hence the intelligence of her death came rather as a relief
than otherwise to the many sympathizing friends, who for a long time
have been deeply moved, knowing that one so highly esteemed was doomed
to suffer so much. The fact that she had ministered so long, so
frequently and so well, at the bedside of so many others, and by her
very presence alleviated the sufferings of others; and that she was now
compelled to suffer so much; and that nothing could be done by them to
ease her own afflictions, was in itself a source of deep regret to many.
They knew there was no reasonable hope for her recovery, and hence they
felt relieved to know, that she had finally endured it all, and that too
so patiently; and to feel that she had exchanged time for an eternity of
bliss, where she forever will enjoy the reward for a life of so much
usefulness and love to her neighbors and friends, took away much of that
poignancy of grief, that would have been felt, had her death been more
sudden and unexpected. Mrs. Mickey was a universal favorite with our
people. Coming to Shelby in her youth, one of the pioneers, as it were,
of the village, she grew to esteem, as the town increased, and her
sphere of usefulness enlarged. She was naturally assigned a leading
position in society -- a place she held from first to last, without the
least ostentatious effort, but simply of her inherent worth. Revered by
all, for her amiability of character; for her constant effort to relieve
distress and suffering in others; for her sweet disposition and
practical good sense; she never willfully made enemies, but constantly
accumulated and made friends. Years ago, when sickness and death invaded
our home, she was among the very first to exhibit to us these peculiar
traits which always called her to homes of affliction, suffering and
mourning, and thus endeared herself to those who in times of trial
needed assistance and friends; so that in the many years of her
residence in our midst, with the constantly recurring vicissitudes of
life, during which time few families have escaped, she was known and
loved by all, for in her they always found a sympathizing friend. Her
deeds of charity and benevolence were the reverse of many; private and
unseen by the public, yet general as the necessities of cases presented
opportunities. It was thus that so many learned to love and esteem her.
But she is gone to her reward, and her works do follow her! Her memory
will sweetly linger in many a home and many a heart! The proudest
monument to her memory is already erected in the hearts of her friends.
Her loss to the village is great; but only in her family and home can it
most deeply be felt. As a wife and mother, she could have had few
equals. No words of ours can add to their consolation. Their loss in
this world is indeed irreparable. Permit us to say -- parenthetically,
that in comparison with the loss of a wife, all other bereavements are
trifling. She who fills so large a space in the domestic heaven; she who
busies herself so unweariedly for the precious ones around her; bitter
are the tears that fall upon her cold and lifeless form! While living
the world now seem to have been an amber colored pathway, where the sun
shone upon beautiful flowers, or the stars hung glittering overhead. The
soul lingers upon the past. No thorns are now remembered. We think of
her now only as all gentleness, all beauty, all purity and love. But she
is dead! The hands which have ministered so untiringly are folded, white
and cold, beneath the gloomy portals of the grave. The heart, whose
every beat measured an eternity of love, lies silent beneath our feet.
The eyes bent over her with smiles, now close above her in tears. A
strange hush is in every room. Oh! it is a sad home when the wife is
gone, when the mother is dead! We know it all. We can offer no
consolation, but that which religion gives. we must look up in faith.
Our treasuries are there! Earth yields only such mortal and perishable
treasures. The flowers of earth die; the gems of earth fade, and the
very gold corrodes and rusts; but the heavens are permanent. Like the
stars, changeless, cheering and loving are the saints of night. Not like
the false, fading glare of earthly toys, is their pure, imperishable
radiance, for they shine as the brightness of the firmament, and as the
stars forever and ever. There are our treasures, our lost ones. There is
our only hope. Such was the character of Mrs. Mickey. Such the loss our
town sustains; such the loss to her family; such the sad bereavement of
our friend who must feel betimes as if all of earth was lost. Our only
word of consolation, in this the hour of his deep affliction, must be --
"Look up". Like the stars of the morning that have faded in the light of
a brighter heaven, she is not lost -- only gone before. Though the
brightness of our lives seem on such occasions to be gone -- though the
shadows of night seem to fall around us, and the world itself seems a
funeral pall, and we look forward into the coming lonely night, yet we
must remember there is a dawn follows every twilight, and the sun still
shines beyond -- and will shine forever. Hence we must not give way too
much to grief. Though the loss is great, it affords abundant consolation
that a life of so much usefulness, in its active duties as well as
example to others, has closed without anything to mar its beauty, or to
destroy the sweet memory of her, that lingers in the hearts of all her
relatives, neighbors and friends. Her funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon, attended by a VERY large concourse of people. A funeral
sermon will be preached in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday, October
18th., at 11 o'clock, A.M. [Shelby Independent News: 08 October 1874,
Vol. 6, No. 50] *The Richland Shield & Banner of 17 October 1874
also contains a lengthy obituary for Mrs. Mickey.
Mickey, Rebecca Cummins -- Died, on Friday,
October 2d., after a protracted and painful illness, Mrs. Rebecca
Cummins Mickey entered into rest in the 50th. year of her age. Mrs.
Mickey was a sincere Christian. She united with the Shelby Presbyterian
Church thirty-two years ago, and was actively engaged in the Sabbath
school work for thirty years, only leaving it, when the Master called
her to the valley of suffering. She belonged to the whole community, for
she was identified with its growth, and spiritual interests from her
childhood days. Her birthplace was in the vicinity, and her life-tree
grew up amongst us, shading many a weary head and aching heart with her
Christian charity. Her patient gentle disposition won for her many
friends. She was a tried Christian. She suffered much, but these
sufferings only brought her closer to Jesus, and kept her there. She had
nothing to fear, but just waited at the door, till the Master should bid
her "come up higher". Words are useless, where such a life speaks with
its thousand tongues. The community and the cause of Christ has met with
a great loss, as the expressions of sympathy at her funeral showed. She
leaves a husband, son and daughter, with many friends, to mourn, but not
as those who have no hope. The following paper was adopted by the
Presbyterian Sabbath school last Sabbath morning, and requested it be
put on the permanent records of the school, and also to be published in
the Independent News: IN MEMORIAM. About a year ago, as our teachers and
scholars remember, we first missed a faithful one among us. Sabbath
after Sabbath passed and she came not. This is sadly remembered by those
especially whom she faithfully pointed to the Lamb of God. While we, as
a school, looked anxiously each returning Sabbath for the faithful one
in Israel, our hopes were crushed, as we heard from time to time that
fell disease had taken hold of her, and that her coming and going among
us was ended. To-day words but mockingly tell our sadness as we remember
that on last Friday at midday, the voice ever so pleasant, among us,
forever hushed, and today, this quiet day of rest, while her spirit
communes in heaven with those gone from our school in years past, to-day
we solemnly lay her form away to await the resurrection. But as a school
let us feel that -- Inasmuch as God in His infinite wisdom has called
Mrs. Rebecca Mickey after her labors of 30 years among us, to His
presence and the joys of Heaven, we humbly submit to His will, and bow
our heads in sorrow at our loss, and comfort our hearts in knowing that
it is her eternal gain. [Shelby Independent News: 08 October 1874, Vol.
6, No. 50]
Mickey, Thomas -- Died, Thursday evening,
April 4th., 1878, Thomas Mickey, in the 68th. year of his age.
There are few of our readers who did not know the deceased, if not
personally, at least by reputation. For about forty years he has
been the leading business man of Shelby, this county. He came to
Shelby in June, 1838, and commenced his career as a clerk in a dry gods
store. He soon struck out for himself, and for a number of years
the deceased and his brother, Robert Mickey, also deceased, conducted
business in partnership. This business connection was dissolved by
Robert Mickey going to New York, in the year 1852. Since then Mr.
Thomas Mickey has continued in business, sometimes alone and sometimes
in partnership with others, and during his entire mercantile and
business career he was regarded wherever known, as a prompt, active,
honorable and successful business man. He was a public spirited
citizen, and if not directly interested he at least assisted in
promoting most of the business enterprises of Shelby. To no one
man does Shelby and the surrounding country owe so much of its
prosperity as to Mr. Thomas Mickey. Until he was confined to his
house, early in December last there was no man in Northern Ohio who had
so completely the confidence of the community in which he lived and of
business circles the country over. It was his pride and boast that
he never failed to meet an obligation when due, and his promptness and
well known business integrity gave him almost unlimited credit.
During his business career he had to encounter many storms and sail
through the shoals of many a business panic; he came through them
all with the increased confidence of business men. We believe, had
he been able to attend his business and give it his personal supervision
he would never have been compelled to make the assignment he made on the
24th. of January last he would have been able to meet his obligations as
they fell due and have paid every creditor dollar for dollar all he owed
them. He had a wonderful business faculty and always gained --
strength and courage when others less gifted became discouraged and
disheartened. Mr. Mickey was a man of broad and liberal views;
generous, frequently aiding others to his own disadvantage, a kind and
affectionate husband and parent; a warm friend, a forgiving enemy,
a man whom the community could ill afford to lose. His disease was
cancer of the liver and pyloric orifice of the stomach. A post
mortem revealed the fact that his liver weight fifteen and one half
pounds while the weight of a healthy liver is but about four pounds.
We are told that though suffering much during the past two or three
months of his life Mr. Mickey never murmured or complained; he
endured patiently to the end, and at last passed peacefully away,
crossing the dark river in the hope of a happy immortality beyond.

Middlesworth, Faye -- A message was received here
last night to the effect that Miss Faye Middlesworth, who was terribly
injured in the Shelby bridge disaster, died at her home in Shiloh. The
deceased was about 16 years of age. She is a niece of Ed S. Moser, of
South Main Street. Miss Middlesworth's injuries were believed to be
fatal from the first, although her friends and physicians hoped that she
might recover. In addition to having both legs broken, Miss Middlesworth
suffered internal injuries and the latter probably caused death. --

Miller, Charles -- Charles Miller died at his home
in Sandusky Township, on Wednesday, Nov. 8th., at the age of 78 years
and 3 months. Mr. Miller was born in Union County, Pa., in 1815, and
while still a young man he removed to Ashland County, this state, where
he resided about 12 years, after which he removed to Sandusky Township,
where he lived for over 40 years. Fifty-two years ago Mr. Miller married
Mary M. Riblet. Seven children were born them, four of whom are still
living. At the time of his death Mr. Miller had 12 grandchildren and 3
great-grandchildren. Two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Miller, together with
their children and grandchildren, celebrated the 50th. anniversary of
their wedding. In the death of Mr. Miller, Sandusky Township loses a
valuable and respected citizen who for many years was one of the
prominent residents of his part of the county. For many years, Mr.
Miller was township clerk and so competent and efficient an official did
he make that he never had opposition. He was always an uncompromising
Democrat and was a subscriber to the SHIELD for nearly two score of
years. Mr. Miller was a member of the Lutheran church and he died as he
had lived, in the triumphs of a Christian faith. The funeral was held at
the Riblet Church near the deceased's late residence, and he was laid
away near that church. -- [Richland Shield & Banner: 25 November 1893,

years and 11 months. Mr. Miller was born in Dauphin Co., Pa., Feb. 14,
1788, came to Ohio, purchased and settled on his farm on which he died,
in April, 1837. In his youth, Mr. Miller was united in marriage with
Miss ELIZABETH JUMP, who preceded him to the grave but a few years; the
twain raising to maturity fourteen children, eleven of whom survive
them. In early life, Mr. Miller made a profession of Christianity, and
being educated in the German language, he first associated with the
German Reform, then with the United Brethren, and lastly, for over
twenty years, he has been a zealous member of the Lutheran Church. His
conduct through all his long and busy life was such as to enlist, in his
behalf, the friendship and esteem off all who knew him; and, "if coming
events cast their shadows before" a happy future is his. [BELLVILLE

1875, near Mansfield, David Miller, aged 83 years, 3 months and 19 days.
Passed away to his home in heaven. Our kind father has left us,
and we are very sorrowful, but we do not sorrow as those who have no
hope. We know that those who die in the Lord, Christ will bring
with him. We expect to see him with immortal glory clothed in
white. During his last years, when the silver cord began to loosen
and the golden bowl to break, his eyes grew so dim he could read but
little; but he had treasured up the precious promises of the
Master, and lived by faith on Christ. I have never known a purer,
or more childlike spirit, nor seen one who had more patience and
resignation in suffering. <<verse omitted>>

Miller, Dick -- At 7 o'clock this morning it was
reported that "Dick" Miller, he ex-ballplayer, had been found dead in
bed. Miller's parents reside on North Adams Street, but for over a year
"Dick" has occupied a room above Mason's drug store on North Main
Street. At 7 o'clock this morning a sister of Miller's had occasion to
go to his room and found him lying in bed apparently dead. She at once
gave the alarm and Dr. McMillen was sent for. Before he arrived Miss
Miller says that she thought she observed her brother gasp slightly once
or twice. Dr. R. Harvey Reed and Dr. Mason were also summoned, but upon
their arrival all agreed that he was dead. Subsequently it was
ascertained that Miller had been brought to his room by two companions
at 2 o'clock this morning and and placed in bed in a badly intoxicated
condition. Nothing further in regard to the matter could be learned. The
statement is probably correct, as he has been dissipating heavily for
the last few months. Prosecuting Attorney H.E. Bell was placed in
possession of the facts in the case, but as it was shown that life was
not extinct when the man was found, no post mortem was ordered. An
undertaker was directed to dress the remains and place them in shape for
burial and at the same time make a thorough examination of the body for
marks of violence, the examination of the physicians being only
superficial. Miller has been subject to apoplectic fits and it is
supposed that as he had been on a protracted spree he was attacked with
one while in his room alone and death had been the result. On a chair in
the room close to the dead man's hand was found a quart bottle nearly
filled with whisky with a glass near by. Miller was well known as a ball
pitcher and for awhile did great service for the local club, having
great speed and some fine curves. Delehanty, the great professional
player, who was playing with Mansfield in 1886, gave Miller the name of
"Cyclone". In 1887 Miller signed with Jackson, Mich., which had become a
member of the Tri-State League, but he was soon released, as his
appetite for drink got the better of him. During the last year Miller
had braced up somewhat, probably due to his declining health, but still
going on protracted sprees occasionally. As soon as the remains have
been placed in readiness for burial they will be taken to the home of
the father of the deceased on North Adams Street, where the funeral will
take place. [Richland Shield & Banner: 19 December 1891, Vol. LXXIV, No.

Col. Miller was born March 16, 1829 at Plymouth, O. (then Paris) and
shortly afterwards the family removed to Mansfield. In 1845 when
the Mexican war broke out he enlisted at Clyde, O., as a private with
Lieut. McPherson (afterwards Gen. McPherson) in Capt. Bradley's Company,
and served one year. He then re-enlisted and served to the end of
the war and was with Gen. Scott in the battles around the City of
Mexico. He then returned home and shortly afterwards went to
California across the plains. Subsequently he returned and went
into the wholesale boot and shoe business at Detroit, Mich., with Gov.
H.P. Baldwin. In 1869 he came to Mansfield and went into the
grocery business with Joshua Davis, and with him commenced the first
jobbing house in the city. In 1861 when the war broke out,
he recruited Company C of the 15th. Ohio three months volunteers.
When reorganized as a three years regiment he was captain of Company A,
and was with it until after the battle of Shiloh, when he received a
sunstroke which so disabled him, that he resigned and came home.
In 1864 when the Hundred Day men were called out he was elected colonel
of the 163d. regiment and went to the Army of the Potomac and remained
six months. On his return on the 1st. of November, he went into
business with Tracy & Avery, and was with them until the organization of
the firm of Bissman, Sealts & Miller on the 1st. of January last.

Millott was born Oct. 20th., 1869 and died July 31st., 1895, aged 25
years, 9 months and 11 days. She was the only daughter of William and
Rebecca Paste. She united with the Presbyterian church in Bellville in
Feb. 1893 of which she remained a member till her death. The last two
years of her life brought much pain and suffering. Since last 4th. of
July one year ago she was confined to her bed requiring much attention
and care. In all of this affliction she was patient and trustful. The
life went out soon; yet so slowly as to leave a reflection of light
along her passage visible to those who watched by her side; which light
appeared brightest in the testimony of victory she left. Mrs. Millott
leaves a father, a mother, one brother and a host of friends on this
side of the River. Appropriate funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church at 11 o'clock Aug. 2nd., conducted by Rev. J.H.
Deeds in the absence of her pastor Rev. C.W. Caldwell. The theme was an
appropriate one, "the destructions that wasteth at noonday". The family
takes this opportunity of publicly thanking the neighbors and friends
for the interest taken and the kindness shown during the long sickness
and hour of affliction; also the choir for the excellent music rendered
both at the home and at the church. -- [BELLVILLE INDEPENDENT: 08 August

upon the farm where W.B. Millikin now resides, but which was then a
dense forest. Mr. M. was the youngest of eight children and the last
member of the family to die. In 1836 he was united in marriage to Jane

three daughters. He was subscriber of the SHIELD for over forty years.

Mitchell, William -- William McCormick, a
brother-in-law of William Mitchell, the old man who died very suddenly
at McCahill's boarding house on North Main Street yesterday, is here
today looking after the remains of his relative. The body will be taken
to Windsor and buried from the McCormick residence. The deceased was of
Irish descent and 65 years of age. A News man had an extended talk with
Coroner Baughman today and from that official much additional
information was gleaned. When the body was taken charge of by the
authorities the exact amount of cash found upon it was $919.65. This sum
was in peculiar shape, the paper money being very dirty. Of the money,
$260 was in gold, all of which was coined before the war. About $130 of
the money was in small change such as nickels and dimes and was probably
accumulated as the result of paying for his meals at the Tremont House
for so long a time with silver dollars. There were also four $100 bills.
The money was deposited in the Farmers' National bank by the coroner.
Coroner Baughman and Dr. Davis completed the post mortem examination
yesterday afternoon and found that death was the direct result of the
bursting of a blood vessel in the man's brain. The deceased was also
afflicted with fatty degeneration of the heart, which would have caused
death in a short time in any event. The story of additional wealth said
to be on deposit in an Ashland bank has not yet been verified, according
to Probate Judge Brinkerhoff and Coroner Baughman. Among the other
things found on Mitchell's body was a deed for a farm of 160 acres of
land in Canada. The wife of the deceased lives about one and a half
miles west from Amoy. Mrs. Mitchell was formerly married to a man named
Robinson, by whom she had several children, it is stated. Mr. and Mrs.
Mitchell had one child, a daughter, but she died some time ago. Mitchell
and his wife have not lived together for more than 20 years. The old man
got it into his head that it was his duty to convert the "court house
ring" and that was his reason for holding preaching and other services
about the band stand in Central park. He had an idea that the band stand
and fountain cover had something to do with the "court house ring".
Coroner Baughman stated to a News man that some time ago he went into
probate court for the purpose of having an inquest of insanity held for
William Mitchell, but that the court was busy at the time and he let the
matter go. The property left by the deceased will probably go to the
widow. -- [Semi-Weekly News (Mansfield): 08 February 1898, Vol. 14, No.
