HIST 1854-1900: THE HISTORY OF UMATILLA COUNTY, by William Parsons, 1900, pg 467: (I have put in paragraphs for ease in following moving, etc - was 2 paragraphs in book-2nd paragraph was marriage)

"ALBERT F. MICHAEL --The career of our subject presents one round of industry and activity that bespeak an energy & wisdom far above the ordinary, & places him among the leading business men in this part of the west; coupled with this he has a reputation for uprightness that his every day life demonstrates is fully merited has been instrumental in placing him in the center of the large circle of admiring friends.
He first saw the light in the Keystone state (PA), Columbia Co on Feb 8, 1854, where his father, Andrew Michael, was an operator of canal boats on two of the principal canals of the state. He remained with his father until 1877, acquiring a good education and such a practical training as afterward made him the successful man that he has been.
In 1880 he came to Mitchell Co KS, bought a farm of 160 acres, where he lived for 2 yrs, then selling out went to Norton Co, the same state, & took up a homestead, staying upon it for 2 yrs. During that time he was occupied with contract work on the grade of B & M RR in Nebraska, & later was superintendant of construction on the UP in KS. In the winter of 1882 he went to Nebraska, & took contract work on the Missouri Pacific, & the next year found him operating on the Oregon Short Line in Idaho.
In the fall of 1883 he first came to Umatilla Co as operator on construction of the OR & NRR, & the spring following in Portland & was solicited to take full charge of the grading of the Northern Pacific to Kalama. After this was successfully accomplished he went to WA & pursued his vocation on the NP in that state. After this he came to Pendleton, put in a switch from the main line of OR & N to Byers' Mill.
April 1 of 1885, he moved to Pilot Rock, & engaged in farming & stock raising, where he was very successful. It was 1891 that he bought the place where he now resides, 227 acres. In addition to this, he owns half a section adjacent to Pilot Rock, which is all first class wheat land is all under cultivation.
On Feb 11, 1875, he was married to Miss Mary E Reynolds, whose father was a gen.merchant in Sullivan Co PA, where their marriage occurred. To this union the following children have been born: Lillie May bn May 20 1877; Ellery E., bn Nov 12 1879; Ella R, bn June 1 1882; Charles A, bn Dec 28 1886; Sadie E, bn Apr 17 1887; Bessie, bn Aug 17 1888; John W, bn Oct 12 1891; Roy M, bn Mar 17 1893; Nora B, bn Aug 31 1894; Josie M, bn Apr 9 1896; Ivy M, bn Nov 26 1897."

1862-1962 HIST: "In The Footsteps of the Pioneers, 1862-1962," by Will M Kidwell, Ed.D., Pg 242: "During this decade the butcher shop was located on the NE side of East Birch Creek on Main Street, chich the city maps call "Willow." The butcher shop was operated by Fred Bailey..had an ice-house in back with double walls filled with sawdust. Ice was cut in winter and stored there during summer months. One of his employees was Charlie Kidwell, an emigrant from MO who later married Nora Michaels. Bailey sold the shop to Frank Michaels. Then later Elvin Pollock purchased it."
Pg 308: "Mr and Mrs Albert Frank Michael came to Umatilla Co in fall of 1883. He was a construction operator for OR & NR RR, but it was not until 1885 that they moved to Pilot Rock and entered into farming and livestock raising. In 1891 he bought 227 acres on Little McKay Creek where they settled, and the younger members of the family were born on this place. He expanded the ranch to a total of 860 acres. In addition to this, he owned a half section of land adjacent to Pilot Rock.
He was born in 1854 in Berwick PA. He received a good eduction in this community. In 1880 he came west to Kansas and farmed, but he finally turned to railroad construction and kept moving west until he arrived in Oregon.
He md Miss Mary E Reynolds of PA in 1875. They reared a family consisting of: Lilli May, Ellery, Ella, Eva, Charles, Sadie, Bessie, Frank, John, Roy, Nora, Josephine and Iva. Later his son-in-law Elvin Pollock joined him in the business. This shop faced Main Street next to East Birch Creek on the spot where the present post office stands (1980s)."
Pg 361: "Shipp homestead on lower McKay Creek-Frank Michael, who ran the butcher shop in Pilot Rock, bought the Shipp place...sold it to son Charlie, who sold out... 1948."

MICHAEL: means "who is like God". Other spellings: Michels, Michel, Michl
