PREFACE. 
 
 IT HAS taken a long time to present the Genealogy 
 of the Mickley Family of America to the descend- 
 ants of John Jacob and Elizabeth Barbara Burkhalter. 
 
 Thanks are due to many members of the family who 
 have rendered invaluable assistance, and to the Rev. J. 
 D. Schindel, Mrs. E. P. Allbrecht and Mile. Julia M. 
 Beerstacher for translations from the French and Ger- 
 man. 
 
 The Rev. J. Marion Mickley, Mrs. Maria and Mrs. 
 Kate Mickley Comfort and Daniel W. Micklejr, all of 
 Adams County, Pennsylvania, have given me interesting 
 data concerning their ancestor, John Martin Mickley, and 
 the family of Mrs. Hannah Mickley Fackenthall gave me 
 valuable information concerning their ancestor, John 
 Peter Mickley, of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. 
 
 The family Bibles of the different families have been 
 the chief source of information, and the work has been 
 put in order in the same style as the Loomis Genealogy 
 compiled by Professor Elias Loomis, Yale College. 
 
 Enough data has been gathered of the Deshler family 
 
io PREFACE. 
 
 to compile a Deshler Genealogy, which, it is our hope, 
 to furnish at a future time. 
 
 The amount of labor involved in such a compilation 
 can be estimated only by those who have attempted 
 similar work. It would have been disheartening but for 
 the great pleasure it has afforded me to endeavor to pre- 
 serve the records of our family and give them a per- 
 manent form.

 Note — It will be observed in the genealogical record that, in many in- 
 stances, the date is wanting. Any one who may be able to supply this missing 
 information or any other touching the family record, will confer a favor by 
 forwarding the same to the compiler, addressed to Mickleys, Pa. 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 JOSEPH J. MICKLEY, in the preface of his "Brief 
 Account of Murders by the Indians and the Causes 
 Thereof, in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Octo- 
 ber 8th, 1763," read by him at a reunion of the family, 
 has the following : 
 
 " A large number of the descendants of John Jacob Mickley 
 (the first of that name in America) assembled on the farm, formerly 
 his property, in North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, where 
 the Indians murdered two of his children, and also the family of 
 John Schneider, on the adjoining farm, the 8th of October, 1763. 
 In commemoration of that event, the following paper was prepared 
 and read, October 8th, 1863. At that time I had no intention of 
 publishing the same, but having been repeatedly urged by some of 
 my relations and several esteemed friends, finally concluded to have 
 it printed ; it may, however, be of little or no interest, except, 
 perhaps, to some of the numerous descendants of our ancestor, John 
 Jacob Mickley. 
 
 " In connection with this, it may not be out of place, and 
 acceptable to some, to give such information of our ancestors as has 
 been handed]" down to us, partly from documents, and partly by 
 tradition. Traditional accounts, however, though generally based 
 on some truths, become, in course of time, very much distorted and 
 .augmented, so that not much reliance can be placed on them unless 
 supported by documentary evidence ; therefore some part of my 
 statement about our ancestors may require correction. Bancroft 
 
12 INTRODUCTION.. 
 
 says, very justly : ' Memory is an easy dupe, and tradition a care- 
 less story-teller.' 
 
 " From what I have been able to gather, it appears that our 
 family is descended from French Huguenots, the name having 
 originally been written Michelet, but corrupted, and variously 
 written Miquelet, Miickli, etc., and finally anglicised into the present 
 form, Mickley ; that during the persecution of the Huguenots in 
 France, they emigrated to the bordering Dukedom of Deux Ponts 
 (Zweibriicken), then a part of the German Empire ; where they 
 were unmolested in the exercise of their religion. 
 
 " I have not been able to ascertain whether our ancestor, John 
 Jacob, or any other of them, was born in Deux Ponts. When, dur- 
 ing my visit there in the year 1869, the records were examined at my 
 request, I felt very much disappointed in being told that nothing 
 could be found to show that such a family had ever resided in that 
 country ; and, if ever existed there, it must have been recorded in 
 that office, but that record is now lost. 
 
 " It may not be surprising that the records are missing, after the 
 enactment of such stringent laws against the Huguenots during the 
 reign of the French King Louis XIV. For instance, the edict of 
 1681, which, deprived them of nearly all their civil rights ; the 
 imperious order given to burn all their books ; and the revocation 
 of the Edicts of Nantes, October 22d, 1685. In the burning of 
 their churches and books, probably all their church records shared 
 the same fate with the general destruction, excepting such as 
 may have been carried out of the country by the refugees. To this 
 may be added that, through the devastation of the Palatinate 
 and other German provinces by the French in the reign of the 
 same King Louis XIV, many valuable documents were irretriev- 
 ably lost. 
 
 "We have, however, authentic information that our ancestor, 
 John Jacob Mickley, was born in Europe, in the year 1697 ; that he 
 came to America in the ship Hope, of London, from Rotterdam, 
 Holland, arriving in Philadelphia, August 28th, 1733. He was 
 married in this country to Elizabeth Barbara, daughter of Ulrich 
 Burkhalter, and settled in Whitehall Township, Northampton, 
 
INTRODUCTION. I3 
 
 'County, now North Whitehall, Lehigh County, and died in August, 
 1769. He left three sons and two daughters, viz. : 
 
 " John Jacob, the eldest, my grandfather, who settled on a tract 
 of land bordering on the village of Hokendauqua, in South White- 
 hall, Lehigh County ; he had six sons and four daughters. A 
 number of his descendants still reside in that county. 
 
 " John Martin, the second son, who was in the battle of German- 
 town, sold the old homestead, and moved to and settled in Adams 
 County, near Gettysburg, in the year 1794. He had four sons and 
 five daughters. Many of his descendants are living in different parts 
 of that county. 
 
 " John Peter, the third and youngest son, of whose escape from 
 the Indians, an account is given on the following pages, was in the 
 military service against the Indians, and in the War of the Revolu- 
 tion, during the whole time of its continuance, in the capacity of 
 fifer. He was in the battle of Germantown. At the close of the 
 war he married, and settled in Bedminster Township, Bucks County, 
 about the year 1784. He had two sons and eight daughters. Some 
 of his descendants are still living in Bucks County, and one daugh- 
 ter, Mrs. Statzell, eighty-eight years of age (yet very active), besides 
 other descendants, are living in Philadelphia. 
 
 " One daughter of John Jacob Mickley, the first, became the 
 wife of Andrew Miller, who resided in Linn Township, Lehigh 
 County. She had no children. 
 
 " The other daughter was married to Peter Deshler, of White- 
 hall Township. By him she had three sons and one daughter. 
 After the death of Deshler, she married Michael Bieber, of Allen 
 Township, in Northampton County. She had no children by Bieber. 
 
 " In preparing this account about the Indians, I have drawn 
 from the most reliable authorities, and rejected many incredible 
 verbal stories about Indian affairs which had been added in course 
 of time, so that the statements may be tolerably correct. I cannot 
 omit to express my great satisfaction in having visited John Peter 
 Mickley, in Bucks, and his sister, Mrs. Bieber, in Northampton 
 County, in the year 1819, and obtained many facts from them in re- 
 lation to this matter ; whatever the one related to me, was corrob- 
 
i 4 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 orated by the other. From them I also learned that the 8th of 
 October, 1763, was one of those clear, pleasant days which have fre- 
 quently been experienced at that time of the year. Owing to the 
 occurrence of the Indian murders, that day has always been men- 
 tioned by our family as the beginning of Indian Summer." 
 
 In closing the account, he says : 
 
 " When the condition of this part of the country is considered, 
 in which, one hundred years ago, a few families were living, with- 
 out protection, in a wilderness, deprived of almost every comfort, 
 exposed to attacks from wild beasts and reptiles, and the danger of 
 being murdered, and have their property destroyed by hostile 
 Indians, who kept them constantly in such fear that the members of 
 the families bade each other farewell in the evening before retiring, 
 being under the impression that they might not meet again on the 
 next morning ; when such a melancholy state of affairs is compared 
 with the present nourishing condition, where now the people are 
 living in peace, themselves and property protected, and where are 
 seen numerous finely cultivated farms, with convenient habitations, 
 furnaces, manufactories, canals, railroads, improvements in every 
 branch of industry, and the comforts of a numerous population; 
 when all this is considered, we are impelled to profound gratitude. 
 If any person exists who is unable to appreciate these advantages 
 and blessings, he must be a heartless and ungrateful being, un- 
 worthy of living in this community. 
 
 " In the above I have presented such matter as I considered 
 suitable on this occasion, and as might be agreeable to, at least, 
 some of the descendants of our forefather, John Jacob Mickley. I 
 shall be much pleased if by the facts here presented, sufficient inter- 
 est has been excited in any one (more capable than myself) to pursue 
 the subject further, and produce a more complete history of the 
 Indian troubles at that time in this part of the country." 
 
 It is not within the limits of the present work to enter 
 at any length upon the trials and hardships of our an- 
 
INTRODUCTION. 15 
 
 cestors in their early frontier life; but the massacre of 
 the Mickley children, October 8th, 1763, is of such deep 
 interest to every member of the family that I quote in 
 full the account as given by the late Joseph J. Mickley 
 on the occasion of the One Hundreth Anniversary of the 
 sad event: 
 
 " The approach of the Indians was seen by Ulrich Showalter, 
 who was working on the roof of a building. The site being consider- 
 ably elevated above the river Lehigh, he had a good opportunity to 
 see and count the Indians. Twelve in all were seen wading across 
 the river, a short distance above Siegfried's Bridge, to this day known 
 as the " Indian Fall" or Rapids. The Indians crossed the river and 
 landed near Leisenring's Mountain (now " Laurel Hill "). It is to be 
 observed, that the greater part of this township was at that time still 
 covered with dense forests, so that the Indians could go from one 
 place to another almost in a straight line, through the woods, with- 
 out being seen. 
 
 It is not known that they were seen by any one but Showalter 
 until they reached the farm of John Jacob Mickley (No. 1), where they 
 encountered three of his children, two boys and a girl, in a field under 
 a, chestnut tree gathering chestnuts. The children's ages were : — 
 Peter, eleven ; Henry, nine ; and Barbary, seven ; who, on seeing 
 the Indians, began'to run away. The little girl was overtaken not 
 far from the tree by an Indian, who knocked her down with a toma- 
 hawk. Henry had reached the fence, and, while in the act of climb- 
 ing it, an Indian threw a tomahawk at his back, which, it is supposed, 
 instantly killed him. Both of these children were scalped. The 
 little girl, in an insensible state, lived until the following morning. 
 Peter, having reached the woods, hid himself between two large 
 trees which were standing near together, and, surrounded by brush- 
 wood, he remained quietly concealed there, not daring to move for 
 fear of being discovered, until he was sure that the Indians had left. 
 He was, however, not long confined there ; for, when he heard the 
 screams of the Schneider family, he knew that the Indians were at 
 that place, and that his way was clear. He escaped unhurt, and 
 
16 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ran with all his might, by way of Adam Deshler's, to his brother, 
 John Jacob Mickley, to whom he communicated the melancholy in- 
 telligence. From this time Peter lived a number of years with his 
 brother John Jacob, after which he settled in Bucks County, where 
 he died in the year 1827, at the age of seventy-five. One of his 
 daughters, widow of the late Henry Statzel, informed me, among 
 other matters, of a remarkable fact related by her father, namely : 
 that the Mickley family owned at that time a very large and ferocious 
 dog, which had a particular antipathy to Indians ; and it was believed 
 by the family, that it was owing' to the dog the Indians did not make 
 an attack on their house, and thus the destruction of their lives was 
 prevented. John Jacob Mickley and Ulrich Flickinger, then on their 
 way to Stenton's, being attracted by the screams of the Schneiders, 
 hastened to the place where, a short time before, was peace and 
 quietness, and saw the horribly mangled bodies of the dead and 
 wounded, and the houses of Marks and Schneider in flames. The 
 dead were buried on Schneider's farm." 
 
 The pamphlet of Joseph J. Mickley, (my great uncle), 
 interested me very much, and led me to endeavor to gain 
 more facts concerning our family history, in which I am 
 pleased to say, I have been singularly successful. I 
 gained a great deal of knowledge from my Uncle Joseph, 
 my grand-father, Jacob Mickley, and my great aunt, Mrs. 
 Andrew Sheldon, also from Prof. Dr. Charles Louis 
 Michelet, the German Philosopher, who gave me inter- 
 esting documents and authentic data. 
 
 My friendship and correspondence with Prof. Dr. 
 Charles Louis Michelet, of Berlin, has been a great help 
 to me in the preparation of this work. His interest in 
 the family of America was such as to request of me a 
 list of all the Mickleys of Pennsylvania, (descendants of 
 John Jacob Mickley, 1697-1769). 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 17 
 
 In following the history of our family I am led to 
 Tegard the influence* of Suzane Mangeot, a Huguenot, 
 as one of our greatest inheritances. It was through her 
 influence Louis Michelet of Metz, became a Protestant, 
 and as Huguenot Refugees, they were married in Zwei- 
 briicken, and their descendants in Berlin speak of them- 
 selves — not as " Berliners," but " Refugees." 
 
 The diary of Suzane Mangeot Michelet, is in the posses- 
 sion of Dr. C. L. Michelet of Berlin, and it was a great sat- 
 isfaction to me to look through it, and I wish I could have 
 read it through — as it would have given her descendants 
 many interesting accounts of those troublous times after 
 the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, during the times of 
 the persecution of the Huguenots. Her eldest son, Jean 
 Jacques, came to Pennsylvania in 1733, and was a worthy 
 son of Huguenot Refugees. He was one of the sturdy 
 settlers of Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania, where, in- 
 stead of religious persecution, he was tormented by wild 
 beasts and Indians, and two of his children were massa- 
 cred, as above narrated by J. J. Mickley, his great- 
 grandson. 
 
 As a family, the Mickleys of America have led honest 
 and upright lives — patriotic and useful, energetic and 
 thrifty, not ambitious for office ; no person of the name, to 
 my knowlege, being a lawyer. Although some are physi- 
 cians and ministers of the Gospel, the professions are not 
 largely represented. Some are in the iron industry, and 
 nearly all land owners and in comfortable circumstances. 
 I have become acquainted, through my work, with a great 
 
1 8 INTR OD UCTJON. 
 
 many, and always found them ready to give me all the in- 
 formation I desired. As a rule they are very hospitable 
 and trustworthy. During the Revolutionary War, John 
 Jacob (No. i) was entrusted with the removal of the bells, 
 of Philadelphia, bringing eleven of the bells, including 
 Christ Church chimes and the State House bell, on his 
 wagons and with his horses to Allentown, Pennsylvania, 
 where they were concealed beneath the floors of Zion's 
 Reformed Church. He was assisted by the Rev. Abra- 
 ham Blumer, then Pastor of the church, whose son mar- 
 ried Sarah, a daughter of John Jacob (No. i). 
 
 They have always been active workers in the church,, 
 as the early records in Whitehall Township will show. 
 Egypt, Mickleys, Allentown and Hokendauqua have in 
 their first records the names of different members of the 
 family. They belong mostly to the Reformed Church 
 (which is the original Refugee Church of our forefathers)- 
 and the Presbyterian Church. 
 
 The family is not so widely scattered as would be sup- 
 posed — although the name is represented in many of the 
 States. California, New Mexico, Iowa, Minnesota, Kan- 
 sas, Illinois, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, 
 Colorado and Pennsylvania are the homes of the Mickleys 
 of America.

OF THE EUROPEAN ANCESTRY OF THE 
 MICKLEYS. 
 
 FROM the following letters of Dr. C. L. Michelet, of 
 Berlin, it appears that the descent of the American 
 Mickleys from the Michelet, of Metz, is fully authenti- 
 cated; but that prior to that date (1444), it is more or 
 less conjectural. 
 
 I insert, however, Dr. Michelet's observations upon 
 the history of the family as of the greatest interest, 
 and value: 
 
 "Berlin, April, 21st, 1883, 
 
 Buelow Street, 28, 
 
 S. W. 
 
 "Miss Minnie F. Mickley, 
 
 "Esteemed Miss : You will allow me to answer your 
 English letter of the 9th of this month, in German, as I 
 do not consider myself sufficiently competent to write a~ 
 strictly correct letter in English, without some effort. 
 You also, as the daughter of a German, no doubt under- 
 stand this language. 
 
 " All the Michelets with whom I have any acquaintance 
 
30 EUROPEAN ANCESTRY. 
 
 come from Metz, and I have in my possession now a com- 
 plete genealogical table of the family, dated from the year 
 1444 up to the present day. This table is based for its 
 truthfulness, partly, on the researches of the clergyman 
 living there ; partly, on the certificates of baptism belong- 
 ing to the city, and partly on private papers belonging to 
 my own immediate family. 
 
 " According to these researches, my great, great grand- 
 father, Louis Michelet, was married in 1697 to Susanne 
 Mangeot, whose diary, kept by herself, we have yet in 
 good preservation, and in it she states she was married to 
 her husband in Zwei-Briicken. 
 
 " I can now easily imagine why this betrothed couple 
 was not married in Metz, because, on account of the revo- 
 cation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685, no marriage was 
 allowed to be solemnized, in the then French city, in ac- 
 cordance with the principles of the Protestant religion, 
 and yet they were both secretly attached thereto. They 
 went, consequently, to the neighboring Zwei-Briicken, in 
 the Bavarian Palatinate, to celebrate their marriage, for 
 since the peace of Westphalia, 1648, Germany had become 
 friendly and co-equal. 
 
 " In the Statistical Archives of Metz is found, however, 
 the information that Louis Michelet and his wife Susanne, 
 in 1699, openly declared their adherence to the new reli- 
 gion, and that in 17 15, Louis, now having become a 
 widower, also declared his five children, Jean (John), 
 Barbe, Marie, Louis (my great grandfather), and Pierre, 
 as Protestants. 
 
EUROPEAN ANCESTRY. 21 
 
 " What, however, I could not explain to myself in this- 
 connection was this : That, although the certificates of bap- 
 tism of the last four children are jointly found in Metz, 
 Barbe being born November 16, 1702; Marie, December 
 11, 1703; Louis (who emigrated to Berlin in 1720), 
 December 8, 1705; Pierre, December 21, 1710; yet the cer- 
 tificate of Jean, the eldest, is entirely wanting, so that I 
 even attached a mark of interrogation to his name in the 
 genealogical table. 
 
 "Now, after what you communicate to me concerning 
 your ancester, John Jacob, this omission plainly explains 
 itself. The married couple evidently remained yet awhile 
 in Zwei-Briicken to await the birth of their first born. 
 
 " Should you desire to ascertain the exact date of birth 
 of your ancestor, you would have to apply to the Protestant 
 or Municipal Congregation of Zwei-Briicken, and request 
 of it the authentic certificate of baptism of your Jean 
 Jacques or Johann Jacob Michelet, stating such date of 
 year as may be known to you. 
 
 "From all this, I believe that we may consider ourselves 
 distant relatives, descending from two brothers, in about 
 the fifth generation, and remain, with great respect, 
 
 Your devoted. 
 
 Prof. Dr. Michelet." 
 
"Berlin, July 3d, 1883, 
 
 28 Buelow Street, 
 S. W. 
 
 " Miss Minnie F. Mickley, 
 
 "Esteemed Miss : The pamphlet of your great-uncle, 
 as well as your letter of June 4th, I have just received. 
 From the first I perceive that it would be almost hopeless 
 to write to Zwei-Briicken for the purpose of obtaining 
 transcripts of records concerning your ancestor, as during 
 the plundering of the Palatinate, under Louis XIV, the 
 French, no doubt, destroyed the Protestant documents 
 there. Still, I would advise you to make the attempt. 
 
 "Nevertheless, it remains in the highest degree probable 
 that your ancestor, John Jacob, was born and baptized as 
 Jean, the son of Louis Michelet and Susanne Mangeot, in 
 Zwei-Briicken. For I find in the whole Genealogical 
 Tree, accompanying this letter, no other Jean who could 
 have been born in 1697 or near that time. If I am correct 
 in my opinion, then, according to the short genealogical 
 table prepared by your great-uncle, my great grand- 
 father, Louis, who was born in 1705 and went to Berlin in 
 1720, is the younger brother of John Jacob, the great 
 grandfather of your grandfather and his brother, and I 
 would then have, with both, the same great, great grand- 
 father, Louis Michelet-Mangeot. 
 
 " It would also be quite natural that your grandfather, 
 would be eight years older than myself, inasmuch as he is 
 
EUROPEAN ANCESTRY. 23 
 
 the descendent of the oldest son of this Louis Michelet. 
 You yourself, Miss, however, belong to the same genera- 
 tion as my grand-children, the oldest of whom is also six 
 years younger than yourself. 
 
 "After the information from your great-uncle, I at once 
 attached the Genealogical Table of your American family, 
 as far as it could be ascertained from it. You would place 
 me under many obligations if, in accordance with your 
 promise, you would send me a copy of the obituary notice 
 of your great-uncle, as well as the names and births of all 
 the American Michelets, for only then would I be able to 
 perfect the so far only superficially prepared Genealogical 
 Tree of your family. 
 
 " The photographs of your grandfather and father, I 
 shall receive with many thanks, and that of myself shall 
 not fail for you. I am exceedingly anxious to see whether 
 the very decided family character of the Michelets has 
 preserved itself in America as it has in the Michelet of 
 Paris, whom I visited in 1849, and, as in a certain Norwe- 
 gian, Adele Michelet, who introduced herself and her 
 husband to us. 
 
 '•'These family features are so unmistakable that when, 
 at a yearly festival of the French Huguenots here, my 
 wife, Jenny, (a Swiss lady), saw the fur-dealer, Louis 
 Michelet, without having known him previously, she 
 turned to me and said, " That is evidently a Michelet !" In a 
 remarkable manner is also yet familiar to my wife the say- 
 ing of her great grandmother, " They were perfect Michelets /" 
 My son, George, resembles me so strikingly in features and 
 
24 EUROPEAN ANCESTRY. 
 
 manners, that she is accustomed to say, " This is a genuine 
 Michelet!" Eugene, the last, the apple of my eye, who 
 followed his footsteps, has, alas, been taken away from me 
 by a sudden death. What hopes had I built on him ! 
 How I reckoned on him once to continue my labors, as the 
 oldest two have become physicians ! He was a delicately 
 framed, early matured boy, with beautiful large, animated 
 blue eyes, with which he observed everything. 
 
 "With intelligent speech, he already realized the serious- 
 ness of life, and yet combined therewith a child-like cheer- 
 fulness and roguishness. With all my philosophy, I cannot 
 realize nor get over the infinite loss. 
 
 "The visit of your mother's relative I await with pleas- 
 ure, but would remark, in the meanwhile, that from July 
 7th to August 15th, we. all expect to make a visit to the 
 home of my wife. My visit to Hokendauqua I cannot, 
 however, place in prospect before me, unless I should fare 
 worse in Europe than is the case at present, for I soon will 
 have to reckon eighty-two years. Your wishes for my 
 health in coming years is heartily appreciated. With the 
 request to be remembered to your relatives, though un- 
 known to me, I remain your, 
 
 Most humble, 
 
 Michelet."

 Translation from Prof. Dr. C. L. Michelet's Auto- 
 biography or " Wahrheit aus Meinem Leben." 
 
 " I first saw the light of day in Berlin, on the 4th day of 
 December, 1801, a child of the new century, and received 
 in baptism the name of Charles Louis. Without wishing 
 to inquire into the mysteries of astrology concerning my 
 birth, at three o'clock on that winter's morning, I will 
 only state that the day is consecrated to St. Barbara, the 
 patroness of artillery-men, and that, in consequence of 
 this coincidence, my life was destined to be a hard struggle 
 with myself and others, for truth's sake. When the poet 
 says, 
 
 " Man errs, as long as he strives," 
 
 he expresses but an equivocal aphorism. For to strive is 
 to seek ; and he who seeks has not yet found. Therefore, 
 he who strives after truth, does not yet possess it, and still 
 dwells in error. I would preface this autobiography, with 
 the axiom thus revised : 
 
 " Man struggles as long as he lives," 
 
 and especially the philosopher — for the higher the object

 of the struggle, and with philosophers it is the highest, 
 namely, truth, the hotter will the contest he — I might also 
 add the motto : 
 
 "Miserrina est fortuna, quae inimico caret.'' 
 
 "Accordingto the records, I belong on my father's as well 
 as my mother's side to the French Calvinists, who, after 
 the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, emigrated to Ger- 
 many. My forefathers, and also the pioneers of this 
 colony, were particularly bent upon contracting alliances 
 for their children with members of their religious faith 
 exclusively. Thus, if the purest French blood flows in my 
 veins, my spiritual education, owing to circumstances, is 
 thoroughly German. I once proposed to Victor Cousin, 
 in a letter dated July 28, 1837, to become the mediator be- 
 tween the two nations, feeling myself almost providenti- 
 ally prepared for the undertaking, and as my French an- 
 cestors had been weavers of silk in their adopted home, 
 so did I propose to introduce the web of German culture 
 in my ancestral country. Cousin, however, in a most 
 learned reply, dissuaded me from returning to Paris. 
 
 " I cannot fully decide whether, on my father's side, I 
 am really of French extraction, the ancestral home of the 
 Michelets being the old German Imperial City and Bishop- 
 ric of Metz, but my mother's family, the Girards, were 
 unquestionably from Dauphine. 
 
 " That part of Lorraine in which Metz is situated, and 
 which was dishonestly appropriated by Henri II in 1552, 
 was called by the French L'Allemagne, more particularly,

 although it belonged to the Middle Kingdom situated be- 
 tween the two countries, and which had belonged to 
 Lothair, together with the Roman Empire. If from this 
 point of view we grant that these people, before the 
 seizure by the French, were of German stock, we readily 
 understand that after the entrance of the French con- 
 querors, the original German population was by degrees 
 obliged to adopt the French language and manners, par- 
 ticularly in the cities. There is every probability that 
 my name was of pure German origin, Michelchcn or Klein- 
 michel, and that later it was written Michel, with the 
 addition of the French diminutive particle let, making 
 it Michellet or Little Michel, as in the original. The 
 name was later written with one /, but from the year 
 1444 to 1745, appears, with but one exception, with the 
 double letter. 
 
 "When my son Paul, now a practising physician in 
 Dresden, visited Metz, with the object of studying the 
 family genealogy, he fortunately met a Protestant minis- 
 ter who had made a special study of the history of the 
 families of Huguenot emigrants, and who was able to 
 furnish us with the following interesting data, i. e., that, 
 from Jehan Michelet, he who wrote his name with one /, 
 down to myself, we are twelve generations, allowing 33^ 
 years to each. This data is perfectly reliable, as our in- 
 formant had in his possession the complete records of the 
 city of Metz and free access to the archives. 
 
 "Tradition points to a far more remote origin for the 
 Michelets, than the middle of the 15th century — and to far 
 
EUROPEAN ANCESTRY. 29 
 
 more distant climes as its cradle, than the French 
 province of Lorraine — namely, to Spain and the Pyrenees, 
 far away in the dark ages, when a tribe of " Miquelettos," 
 Mountain Robbers or Free-Booters, carried on their de- 
 predations on the frontier passes, whence they naturally 
 penetrated into France. The very coat-of-arms of the 
 Michelets would substantiate this myth, it represents on 
 an argent field a fortress surrounded by a moat, a stag 
 leaping over the parapet, and a liberty-cap crowning the 
 helmet — War, the Chase and Liberty is therefore the 
 motto of the Michelets, not to say the Miquelettos. 
 
 "Two missing branches of our genealogical tree have 
 lately come to light, one coming from Norway from 
 Captain Michelet of Drautheim, a direct descendant of 
 Paul Michelet, an officer in the Danish army, who was 
 present at the siege Drautheim in 1658. My other cor- 
 respondent is Miss Minnie F. Mickley of Pennsylvania, a 
 descendant of my great great-uncle, Jean Jacques Miche- 
 let, who emigrated to America in 1733 — with which the 
 line is unbroken and complete." 
 
 The autobiography of Dr. Michelet is most interesting 
 and learned through its seven hundred pages, and gives 
 a complete picture of the life of a great German thinker 
 and philosopher for nearly a century. Dr. Michelet is a 
 hearty old man, retaining well his faculties, and still 
 xesides in the city of his birth. The volume closes with

 this characteristic epitaph, composed by the philosopher,, 
 and which is to be engraved on his stone, 
 
 ' ' Sur la terre ici-bas il a trotive le ciel ;

 The following is the translation from the German of a 
 paper found among the effects of the late Joseph J. 
 Mickley, of Philadelphia, relating to the Mickley family:

 Relating to the Mickly Family, to its Origin and: 
 
 Further Extension from Authentic Sources, 
 
 Vienna. 
 
 "The family 'Mickly' is an ancient French race of 
 knightly and noble origin, that flourished already in the 
 time of the Frank King Chlodwig, and was acknowledged 
 as worthy consideration of importance. 
 
 "The first of this name (name father) is, according 
 to the Chronicle of Gregor of Tours,, a certain Dionysius 
 Micheletus, who originally came from Greece, where 
 such a name conveys the meaning of 'illustrious,' of 
 'renown.' The Franconian Major-domo of the name 
 Odeard brought such a Mickletus from Constantinople to 
 Paris, where the latter became treasurer of King Chlod- 
 wig, and died A. D. 536. His descendants flourished yet

 till the times of the Emperor Carl the Great (Charle- 
 magne), and called themselves Micklet, also Michelet, as 
 the son, Edwin de Michelet, accompanied the aforesaid 
 Emperor on his journeys to Spain, and in the combats in 
 the Pyrenees and Basque Mountains, accomplished won- 
 ders of bravery. 
 
 "This Erwin had as consort an Isabella de Corsini, of 
 Italian family, and dwelt upon the estate Chateau du 
 Michelet, which lay in Provence. There, in extreme old 
 age, he died, in the year 842, and left behind three sons, who 
 were called Charles, Frederique and Denys de Miche- 
 let. The last two died as Abbots in French cloisters. 
 Charles, however, had a Beatrice de Anjou, of royal 
 blood, as wife, and dwelt in the castle of his race and 
 name. He was Major-domo of the Franconian King 
 Charles the Bold, and was so strong, that, in the neighbor- 
 hood of Aries, he once cut in twain with one blow, a Nor- 
 man knight, in full armor and coat of mail, so that the 
 Upper and lower parts of the body were completely separ- 
 ated. From his time on, one hears nothing again for a 
 long time, and not until the time of Louis the Pious or 
 Holy (probably St. Louis), one finds again news of this 
 family. There was, namely, an Odarique de Michelet, 
 who accompanied the said French King, A. D. 1249, upon 
 his journeys to Egypt, and who lost his right hand during 
 the siege of Damiette. He was happily cured, however, 
 by the King's physician — called Harmanique de Salys. 
 On his return, he married Eulalia Leontaras, who was 
 the daughter of a Grecian prince, and who came from the 
 
32 EUROPEAN ANCESTRY. 
 
 Island of Cypress. From this time one finds this family 
 living in peace upon their estate, but nothing specially 
 noteworthy can one remark. Again, with the French King 
 Francis I., is mention made of them. There was, namely, 
 a Quentin de Michelet, the Colonel of a French Cuiras- 
 sier Regiment, and who fought in the many battles of this 
 King in France, Italy and Germany with great honor. He 
 had as wife Louison de Armaguacke, and left at his 
 death, A. D. 1563, a son, who was called Bertrand de 
 Michelet. He, also, was a distinguished soldier, and be- 
 came artillery colonel. His usual residence he had at 
 Dijon, where his artillery regiment was garrisoned. He 
 found his death in the battle in the Netherlands, 1602. 
 With his descendants one finds that they call themselves 
 partly Mickly, partly Michelet. A scholar of this family, 
 named Armand de Mickly, gave the inducement thereto, 
 and he found out, collected and arranged the information 
 regarding his family. He had his old and honorable coat- 
 of-arms, the letters patent of his armoral bearings revived, 
 made known, chartered and confirmed by King Louis 
 XIV, and also by the German Emperor Leopold, and the 
 ancient copy (deed) of such letters patent lays even yet in 
 the archives of Paris and Vienna. His children, of whom 
 he left five, lived yet at the end of the past century. But 
 since the storm of the French Revolution, one finds no 
 news of his family."

 Prof. Dr. Michel et wrote the following letter after 
 reading the " Information Relating to the Mickley 
 Family:" 
 
 "Berlin, August 10th, 1889. 
 "Miss Minnie F. Mickley : 
 
 "Dear Relative — We were all very glad to have your 
 dear father in our midst. Alas, the joy was a very brief 
 one, for at the end of three days he left us again. Time 
 was, indeed, very precious, and we made as much of it as 
 we possibly could. At the end we were yet able to ven- 
 ture out, something which we could not do during your 
 visit the previous year. We ended our joyful meeting 
 with a visit to Tagel Castle, in order to see the burial 
 place of the Humboldt family. In the midst of a woods, 
 surrounded by the most luxuriant array of flowers, bedded 
 around a high column, rest the departed members of the 
 family, especially the two brothers, William, the minister 
 and learned linguist, and Alexander, the great naturalist 
 and universally acquainted traveller. The column is 
 crowned with a statue of Hope, looking down upon the

 sleeping ones, executed by the Danish sculptor Thor- 
 waldsen. 
 
 "Although both of my daughters, living in Charlotten- 
 berg, and their husbands were missing, having been on a 
 sea voyage on the Baltic, nevertheless, I could count, with 
 great satisfaction, at the supper on the shady summit of 
 the park, nine Michelets, the number of the Muses, all of 
 common birth, such as becomes the new world. 
 
 "As regards the family of nobility which Uncle 
 Joseph has traced, there is no doubt but that such a 
 family existed. Not only have I reliable information 
 concerning such from Metz, but the Norwegian family 
 Michelet has also discovered the same, and even sent me 
 the coat-of-arms. 
 
 "You no doubt have again received the packet which 
 you had sent me with your father. It gave me no new in- 
 formation, inasmuch as it was simply the original of the 
 copy which you had sent me already. I am sorry that 
 you cannot give me any further reliable data, since the 
 authenticated papers were stolen from your uncle. I, 
 consequently, find myself limited to my own researches, 
 as the matter interests me very much. In fact, I have 
 already begun the work, and have examined the Chroni- 
 cles of Gregory, Bishop of Tours. I find, however, that 
 he makes no mention of a Dionysius Mickletus, neither in 
 the index nor in the text. Mickletus is to mean, in 
 Greek, "renowned." But that should be Megakletos.. 
 Should I even make Meckletus out of this, the derivation 
 would still not be beyond all my doubts. Heretofore, we 
 
EUROPEAN ANCESTRY. 
 
 35 
 
 have derived the name from the mountain hunters in the 
 Pyrenees, the Miqueletos. 
 
 " I expect now to write to Vienna, in order to inquire 
 into and get information concerning the coat-of-arms and 
 the revival of nobility under Louis XIV and Emperor 
 Leopold. It seems somewhat strange that the learned 
 author of the narratives should already have called him- 
 self de Mickly in the seventeenth century, while your 
 ancestor, Jean Jacques, is said to have assumed this name 
 first, in the eighteenth century. 
 
 "Much of a mythical character is also connected with 
 all, as for example, when a Michelet Knight is represented 
 as slaying his enemy, in full armour, by cutting him from 
 right to left, whereas Ariostos, " Raging Roland," is said 
 to have done so by cutting from head to foot, so that the 
 two parts of the body fell on either side of the war-horse. 
 Still, that does not weaken the remaining part of the 
 narrative. 
 
 "With many greetings to yours, I am, 
 
 Your, 
 
 Michelet.'' 
 
THE AMERICAN BRANCH 
 
 OF THE MICKLEY FAMILY. 
 
 IN a collection of upwards of thirty thousand names of 
 German, Swiss, Dutch, French, and other immigrants 
 ■ in Pennsylvania, from 1727-1776, by Prof. I. Daniel Rupp, 
 under date of August 28th, 1733, are noted the names of 
 persons arriving : Palatine, ship Hope of London, Dan 
 Ried master, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes : Males, 
 eighty -three, above sixteen ; females, eighty-one ; males 
 and females, 225 under sixteen ; in all 389. We find the 
 names of Johan Jacob Miickli, also Johan David Deschler, 
 Hans Jacob Schreiber, Hans Georg Kohler, Abraham 
 Miller, and others, who settled in this region at the same 
 time that John Jacob Mickley came. Members of these 
 families afterward inter-married into the Mickley family. 
 
 Among the early settlers of Alsace or Elsace Town- 
 ship, Bucks County, were many French Reformed or 
 Huguenots, also Swedes, who were Lutherans, Germans 
 and French, who located on the fertile lands of Wablink 
 (encompassed by hills). Here an opening was made for 
 •other persecuted Huguenots. Amongst the prominent 
 families in Oley were the Levans, Yoders, Schneiders, De 
 la Plaines, De Lurcks, and others.

 John Jacob Mickley came to this country a single 
 man, and lived several years with Jacob Levan, in Oley, 
 who was a relation of his. His daughter, Mrs. Bieber, 
 told Joseph J. Mickley he was a "Veter" of her father's. 
 
 John Jacob Mickley bought land of Adam Deshler, a, 
 deed of which is in possession of the family from Adaim 
 Deshler to John Jacob Mickley, date December 14, 1761. 
 A synopsis of the deed shows that the land was first deeded 
 by William Penn to William and Margaret Lowther, 5,000 
 acres, date 23rd October, 1681. Amongst other deeds of 
 John Jacob Mickley, first, second and third, are tracts of 
 land known as "Oczakow," June 5th, 1789; an Indian 
 name, meaning " at the Yellow Lands." The land is now 
 known as " Mickleys," residence of Edwin Mickley ; 
 "Springfield," 1785 ; "Pond Brook," November 16, 1785 ; 
 "Mount Pleasant," November 25, 1785. Other deeds of 
 tracts of land from John Jacob Sr. to John Jacob Jr., 
 date November nth, 1801 ; June 22, 1804; June 3, 1820; 
 two deeds dated December 19, 1826 ; August 4th, 1829. 
 
 Four hundred and fifty acres of the original tract of 
 land, are now owned by descendants of John Jacob Mick- 
 ley. It is to be hoped that more of the family will make 
 Mickleys their future home ; that village being entirely 
 on the original tract. 
 
 In 1864, the undersigned, members of the Mickley 
 family agreed to pay the sum set opposite their respective 
 names; for the purpose of erecting a monument over the 
 graves of John Jacob Mickley and his wife, who are 
 buried in the Lehigh Valley, Lehigh County, Pa. The

 original stones were of slate, and the inscriptions were 
 almost obliterated at the time. The following list was 
 subscribed, but not being sufficient, Edwin Mickley added 
 the required amount, and erected a neat tomb and inscrip- 
 tion to the memory of John Jacob and his wife, Elizabeth 
 Barbara Burkhalter, after the bodies were re-interred in 
 Mickleys' Church Cemetery, Mickleys, Pa. The following 
 is the list of subscribers, 1864: Abraham, William J.,

 The Late Joseph J. Mickley, 
 
 OF PHILADELPHIA, PA. 
 
JOSEPH J. MICKLEY 
 
 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 BY HIS FRIEND 
 
 J. Bunting 
 
 AS PUBLISHED IN LlPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE OF JULY, 1885, 
 
 AND NOW REPRODUCED BY KIND PERMISSION 
 
 OF J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO. 
 
Joseph J. Mickley. 
 
 NOT many years ago there were several substantial 
 old houses standing on the north side of Market 
 street, east of Tenth, in the city of Philadelphia. These 
 structures, which then wore an air of respectable old age, 
 have been in recent years either totally destroyed or so 
 extensively altered that the serene atmosphere of anti- 
 quated gentility no longer lingers about their busy ex- 
 teriors. 
 
 On a morning in April, 1869, the present writer had 
 occasion to call at one of these buildings — No. 927. Sev- 
 eral broad and weather-stained marble steps led up to an 
 old-fashioned doorway, where the modern bell-pull and 
 the antique brass knocker contended for recognition. 
 Alike rusty as these were, it became a problem as to 
 which would best secure communication with the interior. 
 While the matter still seemed indefinite, it was set at rest 
 by the advice of an obliging street urchin, who volun- 
 teered his information with appropriate brevity and 
 directness: 
 
 " Try the door. If it's loose, Daddy Mickley's home, 
 sure. If it's locked, 'taint no use of knockin', for he's 
 out." 
 
 Thus instructed, I tried the door. It happened to be 
 
9 6 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 " loose," and ushered me into a long dark entry, at the 
 farther end of which a wide flight of heavy oak stairs led 
 to the upper rooms in the rear of the building. Among 
 these rooms, one of the first to be reached was evidently 
 a workshop; and here was encountered the only living 
 being as yet visible in the spacious old mansion. Upon 
 entering, I was met by a dignified and placid old gentle- 
 man, whose appearance was very much in keeping with 
 the house in which he dwelt. He was quite evidently of 
 the old school, and his pleasant voice gave me an old- 
 school welcome. A fine broad forehead rested above a 
 pair of the most kindly eyes that can be imagined, and 
 belonged to a splendidly-shaped head, which was totally 
 bald, save for a slight fringe of white hairs about either 
 temple. The mouth was, in its expression, even more 
 prepossessing than the eyes, and the whole bearing of 
 the old gentleman — who had evidently reached his three- 
 score and ten, but who, as was equally apparent, carried 
 the warmth and vigor of youth still with him — was calcu- 
 lated to please and impress the least observant visitor. 
 
 The late Joseph J. Mickley comprised qualities at 
 once more attractive and more unusual than are often 
 met with in one person. He was distinguished through- 
 out the world, during more than a generation, for the 
 diligence and success of his numismatic researches, and 
 his collection of rare coins was for a long time the most 
 valuable in this country. As a collector of scarce books 
 and autographs he was hardly less noted or less successful. 
 But in Philadelphia he was most of all admired for his 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLE Y. 97 
 
 delightful social qualities and his extensive information 
 on a surprising variety of topics. During forty years his 
 house was a rendezvous for a numerous group of special- 
 ists — not alone in his own favorite pursuits, which, indeed, 
 were both many and diverse, but in any and every de- 
 partment of art or learning. Coin-hunters, autograph 
 dealers, historical students, philosophers, musical instru- 
 ment-makers, noted performers, and performers of less 
 note, all the way down to " scratch-clubs," were his con- 
 stant visitors for years. It is probable that no private 
 house in Philadelphia has entertained a greater number of 
 intellectually distinguished people than the old mansion 
 just referred to, where Mickley resided from 1842 to 1869. 
 Musical celebrities from every country hastened to make 
 his acquaintance, and such was the magnetism of his per- 
 sonality that acquaintances thus formed seem never to 
 have been lost sight of by either host or guest. During 
 his European tour, which lasted from 1869 to 1872, the 
 then venerable traveler was continually meeting friends 
 among persons who had called upon him at various times, 
 dating back in one case as long before as 1820. They 
 always appeared to have known beforehand of his coming, 
 and he always remembered them and the circumstances 
 under which he had first met them. 
 
 The social reunions at Mickley's were informal to the 
 last degree, and the accommodations correspondingly 
 primitive. They usually took place in his workshop. 
 Crazy stools or empty piano boxes generally served for 
 seats. The surrounding furniture comprised barrels, 
 
g 8 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 cases and chests, filled to overflowing with the host's ever- 
 increasing antiquarian treasures. If a quartette were 
 assembled — and many times the musical party was en- 
 larged to a quintette or a septette — an adjournment was 
 necessary to a room less crowded, but equally sparse 
 of conventional furniture. 
 
 Mr. Mickley was always happy to join in these im- 
 promtu musical assemblies, when occasion offered, al- 
 though performing music was one of the few things 
 which he never succeeded in doing well. He invariably 
 played the viola on these occasions — perhaps, as Schindler 
 hints about Beethoven, because indifferent playing on the 
 viola is not so noticeable as on other instruments. As 
 was to have been expected from so pronounced an anti- 
 quarian, he had small sympathy for modern music. He 
 even rebelled against the gentle innovations of Men- 
 delssohn, contending, not without an approach to accurate 
 judgment, that Haydn and Mozart had completely covered 
 the field of chamber music. While in the midst of nu- 
 merous and always congenial pursuits during his long life,, 
 quartette playing remained a favorite pastime of very 
 many days in very many years. 
 
 Mr. Mickley's intellect was so many-sided and so evenly 
 balanced that it is difficult to name his predominant bias. 
 It is very nearly safe, however, to say that this was his 
 historic faculty. In the writings, still chiefly unprinted, 
 which were left behind him, he was at once the most 
 minute and the most compact of historians. Emerson 
 never condensed his rare thoughts into smaller compass, 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLE Y. 99 
 
 not even in his " English Traits," than Mr. Mickley has 
 condensed his facts and observations. There is a small 
 pamphlet extant, the manuscript of which was read by 
 him in 1863, on the occasion of the centennial anniversary 
 of a noted Indian massacre in Northampton County, 
 Pennsylvania, where several of his ancestors perished. It 
 contains historic material enough for a volume. To indi- 
 cate his early passion for amassing reliable data, the same 
 sketch shows that a portion of its facts had been obtained 
 while he was still a boy, from then aged eye witnesses ot 
 the affair, nearly fifty years before its story was thus put 
 into permanent shape. 
 
 He mastered the Swedish language, after having 
 passed his seventieth year, chiefly that he might write a 
 correct history of the first settlement of Swedes on the 
 Delaware River below Philadelphia. At the age of 
 seventy-two he spent several months in Stockholm, the 
 capital of Sweden, and while there placed himself in 
 communication with every prominent librarian of the 
 country, besides scholars in Denmark, Holland, and Ger- 
 many. He personally inspected a great mass of docu- 
 ments and ancient volumes. Yet the result of all this is 
 contained in a manuscript of less than thirty large folio 
 pages, literally crowded with invaluable data. This was 
 read before the Historical Society of the State of Dela- 
 ware in 1874. It has never been put in type, and is 
 almost wholly made up of material which has no existence 
 elsewhere in the English language. 
 
 A single instance will serve to show the minuteness 
 
ioo A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 and persistence of his investigations. In one of the 
 public libraries of Stockholm Mickley discovered an 
 ancient Dutch manuscript signed by Peter Minuit. No 
 scholar within reach could master its contents. The 
 private secretary of the Ambassador from Holland, who 
 was appealed to, asserted beforehand that he " could read 
 anything that ever was written in Dutch." Yet, after a 
 long inspection, he frankly owned his inability to de- 
 cipher a single word of it. Mr. Mickley was determined 
 to ascertain the contents. As the document could not be 
 bought at any price, and could not even be removed over 
 night from its place of keeping, he caused photographs to 
 be taken of it. One such copy was sent to a very learned 
 acquaintance in Amsterdam, and another to a noted 
 scholar at Leipsic. In the course of subsequent travels 
 he found accurate translations awaiting him from both 
 sources. The importance of the manuscript in this con- 
 nection will be the more appreciated when it is remem- 
 bered that Peter Minuit commanded the first expedition 
 ever sent to the shores of the Delaware River. 
 
 Being thus by nature an historian, it is but natural 
 that Mr. Mickley should have left behind him ample 
 materials for telling the story of his own life. From 
 these we learn that the family name was originally Mich- 
 elet. It dates back to the French Huguenots who, after 
 the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, settled in Zwei- 
 briicken, a German province. The first foothold of the 
 family in this country was established in that portion of 
 Pennsylvania which has for more than a century been 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLE Y. I0I 
 
 thickly peopled by that enlightened and art-fostering 
 sect, the Moravians. It was from the Moravian influence 
 that Joseph J. Mickley first experienced a fondness for 
 music and its appropriate artistic surroundings. He was 
 born March 24th, 1799, at South Whitehall, a township 
 then in Lehigh County, but originally comprised in 
 Northampton. At the age of seventeen he went to 
 Philadelphia as apprentice to a piano-maker. At that 
 time the method of building a piano-forte was as different 
 from the advanced art of these days as was the instru- 
 ment itself. The piano-maker had then to work from the 
 legs upward. His necessary duties demanded knowledge 
 which is now distributed among several entirely distinct 
 sets of artificers. That young Mickley satisfactorily 
 completed his apprenticeship may be inferred from two 
 facts: he started in business for himself in August, 1822, 
 and in October, 1831, the Franklin Institute awarded him 
 a prize for skill in the manufacture of pianos. 
 
 From this time on, his business life, though of long 
 duration, was uneventful, and may be summed up in very 
 few words. From his original starting place at No. 67 
 North Third street, he removed, four years later, to a 
 store on the site now occupied by a portion of the pub- 
 lishing house of J. B. Lippincott Company. Here he re- 
 mained until 1842, and then established himself in the 
 building mentioned at the beginning of this article, where 
 he continued to live until the final closing up of his 
 business in 1869. 
 
 It does not appear that Mr. Mickley was' ever actively 
 
102 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 engaged in the manufacture of piano-fortes. He con- 
 tinued, however, to tune pianos to the end of his life; and 
 it is reported that he could never be induced to alter his 
 terms from the original fee of one dollar, which was 
 customary forty years ago. He also became noted far 
 and wide as a repairer of violins and other stringed in- 
 struments. At one time, a violin which had belonged to 
 George Washington, was sent to him for this purpose. 
 Ole Bull, who happened to be in town at the time, hearing 
 of the circumstance, hastened to the shop for the pur- 
 pose of examining and playing upon the historic instru- 
 ment. Mickley also became an authority in regard to 
 the value and authenticity of these instruments, although 
 he never indulged in the passion of making collections in 
 this field. His minuteness of observation was frequently 
 manifested. While stopping at Venice in 1870 he notes 
 down in his diary, "A man came to the hotel with some 
 violins for sale. Among them was a Hieronymus Amati. 
 It was a good one, but the head and neck were not 
 genuine." At another time, a violin was sent to his place 
 from a distant locality for repairs. The instrument was 
 preceded by a lengthy letter beseeching his special care 
 for its welfare, and setting forth in extravagant terms its 
 great intrinsic value and its peculiarly interesting "be- 
 longings." Anticipating a treasure, Mr. Mickley sent for 
 some violin connoisseurs to enjoy with him a first sight of 
 the precious instrument. On opening the express pack- 
 age a very worthless "fiddle" was revealed. After the 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLEY. 103 
 
 laugh had gone round, he said drily, " I think the value 
 of this must be in its ' belongings.' " 
 
 In the old house on Market Street, Mr. Mickley was 
 not alone popular among prominent people from afar. 
 He was equally loved by his neighbors on all sides. 
 Many of the more unconventional of these knew him best 
 by the familiar title of " Daddy." To the better educated 
 class of young musicians he was almost as much a father 
 as a friend. Nor were his close friendships confined to 
 the young. Among his most steadfast admirers was an 
 old bachelor German musician by the name of Plich. 
 Herr Plich was a piano teacher, and it was under his 
 tuition that the afterward favorite prima-donna, Caroline 
 Richings made her first public appearance as a pianist in 
 1847. This old teacher induced Mickley to take him as a 
 boarder, and he lived for a number of years in one of the 
 upper back rooms of No. 927. One night a fire broke out 
 in a building directly contiguous with the rear of the Mick- 
 ley mansion. There was great consternation, of course, 
 and busy efforts on the owner's part to gather together 
 the manifold contents of his treasure-house. When all 
 had been at length secured in a place of safety, he be- 
 thought himself of Herr Plich. Hastening to the upper 
 room, he discovered the old man in a state of semi-in- 
 sanity, marching up and down the apartment, and carry- 
 ing in his hands only a valuable viola. So confused was 
 he with fright that main force was required to get him 
 out of the room. After seeing him safely out of the front 
 door, Mickley went back and secured a considerable sum 
 
io4 
 
 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 of paper money which had been totally overlooked for the 
 sake of the beloved viola. Plich at his death bequeathed 
 the viola to Mickley, and it was the only instrument which 
 the latter always refused to part with during his lifetime. 
 The entire savings of Plich were also left in trust to 
 Mickley, to be distributed for such charitable objects as 
 he should consider most worthy, and for about twenty- 
 seven years Mr. Mickley carefully administered this trust. 
 Mr. Mickley's most remarkable success in life was ob- 
 tained as a numismatist. His habit of collecting coins be- 
 gan almost in childhood. It has been stated that at the 
 age of seventeen he first became interested in coin hunt- 
 ing, owing to his difficulty in finding a copper cent coined 
 in 1799, the year of his birth. Every student of numis- 
 matism knows that this piece is exceedingly rare. The 
 one sold in Mr. Mickley's collection after his decease 
 brought no less than forty dollars. The taste thus formed 
 continued a prevailing one for sixty years. It is sur- 
 prising to find how speedily he became a leading and 
 recognized authority. Although as guileless as a child and 
 the easy victim of numerous thefts throughout his life, he 
 was scarcely ever deceived in the value of a coin, token, 
 or medal. Once, at Stockholm, in 187 1, he visited a 
 museum where rare coins were exhibited. " The collec- 
 tion," says his diary, "is very, very rich in Greek and 
 Roman, but particularly in Scandinavian and Anglo- 
 Saxon. There are not many United States coins, but 
 among them I was astonished to find a very fine half- 
 eagle of 1815." The known rarity of this coin thus on ex- 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLEY. J0 ^ 
 
 hibition in a far country very naturally attracted the keen 
 eyes of the aged collector. 
 
 These researches, continuing year after year, grew to 
 be more and more valuable, until they became widely 
 celebrated. By the time he had reached middle age he 
 was as well known among the guild of antiquarians as a 
 Quaker is known by his costume. Before his death he 
 had been elected a member of all the prominent societies 
 in numismatics, history, and archaeology throughout the 
 world. The last honor of this kind, which reached him in 
 his eightieth year, was a notice of his election to member- 
 ship in the Societe Frangaise de Numismatique et d'Arch- 
 eologie. His great collections in this department of 
 knowledge were not confined to coins, but extended also 
 to the literature of the subject. This was splendidly 
 illustrated in his famous library, which comprised many 
 works of the utmost value and scarcity. 
 
 A taste thus developed in early youth naturally be- 
 came in the course of years a habit, a sentiment, a leading 
 passion of Mickley's nature. By the year 1867, his coin 
 collection had become the most extensive in the country. 
 By this time also the entertainment of curious visitors ab- 
 sorbed a good share of the collector's daily duties. He was 
 naturally proud of his treasures, and took a great delight 
 in showing them to all who came. Utterly devoid of sus- 
 picion, he was a ready victim to designing persons. The 
 following memorandum, which was found among his later 
 papers, will show how he suffered from this source : 
 
io6 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 " I have become rather indifferent about numismatics, 
 or, at least, about collecting coins. It was a great source 
 of amusement for a period of over fifty years. But having 
 been so unfortunate at different times with my coins, it is, 
 as it were, a warning to desist from collecting any more. 
 In the year 1827, the United States dollars from 1794 to 
 1803, all good specimens, together with some foreign 
 coins, were stolen. In 1848 about twenty half-dollars 
 were taken. In 1854, after showing my collection to 
 three Southern gentlemen (as they called themselves), I 
 missed three very scarce half -eagles. The great robbery 
 was in 1867. In Jaffa, Palestine, a small lot, worth about 
 one thousand francs, with a collection of Egyptian curiosi- 
 ties, was stolen at the hotel ; and, finally, last winter, at 
 Seville, Spain, some old Spanish coins were missing while 
 I was showing them to some persons." 
 
 The " great robbery " above alluded to, occurred on 
 the evening of April 13, 1867. It was of such magnitude 
 as to cause a wide sensation at the time, and enlisted the 
 sympathies of his coin hunting brethren the world over. 
 Mr. Mickley's chief precautions, notwithstanding his pre- 
 vious warnings of danger from another source, had been 
 against fire. In a third story room was his cabinet. This 
 had long since been filled, chiefly with an unbroken and 
 historic list of American coins. The additional accumu- 
 lations of years, nearly all foreign, and many of great 
 rarity, had been stored in an old piano case in his bed- 
 room, where, as he said, in the event of fire they would 
 be close at hand. On the evening in question Mickley 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLE Y, 107 
 
 was alone in his workshop, engaged in repairing a musical 
 instrument. He had then been living entirely alone for 
 a. number of years. A single servant, who provided his 
 meals, had gone home. About nine o'clock the loud bark- 
 ing of his dog in the yard below called him to the window. 
 It was afterward found that a pair of old shoes thrown 
 from an upper room by the burglars had thus called away 
 the attention both of dog and master from what was go- 
 ing on inside. An hour later a caller discovered several 
 pieces of money lying in the hall. An investigation dis- 
 -closed the startling loss which he had sustained. The 
 entire contents of the piano-box had been carried off. A 
 private desk had also been broken open and despoiled of 
 a few medals, although its chief contents were intact. A 
 gold pencil, the gift of Ole Bull, and other keepsakes, re- 
 mained undisturbed. But the larger portion of a collec- 
 tion of foreign coins, one of the most complete in the 
 world, and the product of a lifetime's intelligent research, 
 was gone ! 
 
 It was a heavy calamity, and one from which the old 
 ■collector never fully recovered. Sir Isaac Newton's his- 
 toric Fido did not do nearly the amount of irremediable 
 damage when he overturned the lamp upon his master's 
 papers. The actual pecuniary loss, reckoning at cost 
 prices, was in the neighborhood of nineteen thousand dol- 
 lars. The market value of such a collection was of course 
 vastly greater, and increasing all the time at a good deal 
 faster rate than compound interest. It was somewhat of 
 a coincidence that Mr. Mickley had received and refused 
 
108 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 what he records as a " tempting offer " for the entire col- 
 lection only a short time before the robbery. 
 
 The ardent passion of a lifetime was now chilled, and 
 his one desire seemed to be to get rid of his remaining 
 coins and of the responsibility which keeping them en- 
 tailed. Such, however, was the completeness of Mick- 
 ley's literary methods of condensing, that an entry of 
 three or four lines made in his diary on the night of the 
 robbery is all that he had to write about the appalling 
 loss. A week or two afterward he records in the same 
 volume the disposal of all the remaining coins, with an 
 air of great relief, as he adds, " I do not doubt I should be 
 robbed again if I kept them." A large box full of the 
 most valuable had been taken for safe-keeping, to the 
 Mint just after the robbery ; but these were sold with the 
 rest. It is understood that this remnant of the original 
 lot was disposed of for about sixteen thousand dollars, the 
 largest purchaser being Mr. Woodward, of Roxbury, 
 Massachusetts. The dollar of 1804 went to a New York 
 collector for the enormous sum of seven hundred and fifty 
 dollars. 
 
 Efforts to restore the lost treasure were not wanting. 
 It might be supposed that the possession of such rare 
 tokens of value would have speedily led to the discovery 
 of their whereabouts. Mr. Mickley himself intimated 
 that he suspected the quarter from which the depredation 
 had come. Yet from that day until the present the secret 
 has been as securely kept as that of the rifling of Lord 
 Byron's letter from a vase at Abbotsford, or of the Duch- 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLE Y. 1Q g 
 
 •ess of Devonshire's portrait from the London Art Gallery. 
 In fact, the same mild generosity which had always char- 
 acterized Mr. Mickley still came uppermost in the face of 
 this trying disaster. He frequently sought to overlook 
 the misdoings of petty theives. A London pickpocket 
 who had successfully practiced upon him Oliver Twist's 
 little game was only prosecuted hecause his testimony 
 was insisted upon by the authorities. At the foot of the 
 Pyramids he deplored the chastisement inflicted by an 
 Arab sheik upon one of his native servants who had com- 
 mitted a similar depredation. His life-long friend the 
 late William E. Dubois, of the United States Mint, has 
 stated that " eight or nine years after the robbery a few 
 very fine gold pieces of English coinage were offered for 
 .sale at the Mint cabinet rooms. I was so well convinced 
 that the labels were in his handwriting that I sent 
 for him to come and see them. He could not deny 
 the likeness, but seemed reluctant to entertain the sub- 
 ject at all." 
 
 During these years of study and research, Mr. Mick- 
 ley must not be thought of as a strict specialist. Side by 
 side with his fascinating collection of coins, there was an 
 ever-growing library, the extent and value of which were 
 never appreciated until his death. This accumulation 
 was in itself an example of his cosmopolitan tastes. It 
 was copious in local history, in biography, in music, in 
 general literature, in costly and well-preserved black- 
 letter editions, in illuminated missals dating back to the 
 thirteenth century, and, above all else, in autographs. Of 
 
no A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 the latter, space cannot be spared here for anything ap- 
 proaching a full description. As some indication of their 
 value, it may be mentioned that a letter of George Wash- 
 ington (the last he was known to write), dated six days- 
 before his death, was bought by George W. Childs, Esq., 
 for one hundred and fifteen dollars. A letter of Abraham 
 Lincoln to General McClellan fetched nearly one hundred 
 dollars. There were also signed autograph letters of all 
 the governors of Pennsylvania, of all the Presidents, and 
 of all the signers of the Declaration of Independence, 
 The latter group is rarely met with complete ; and three 
 of the scarcest names alone sold for as much as all the 
 others put together. There were signatures also of about 
 forty generals of the Revolutionary war, of both the 
 British and American armies, and including Lafayette 
 and Kosciusko. Both Napoleon and Josephine were rep- 
 resented ; and the lovers of poetic justice will be glad to 
 know that the latter name brought double that of the 
 great emperor. In autographs of literary and musical 
 celebrities the collection was extraordinarily rich, those- 
 of Goethe and Schiller, Beethoven and Mozart, being con- 
 spicuous. But the chief rarety was a large album former- 
 ly owned by Babet von Ployer. This contained, among 
 other treasures, a manuscript of Haydn, believed to be the 
 only one ever offered for sale in this country. It also- 
 contained an India-ink sketch of Mozart, drawn by his 
 wife Constance. At the sale in 1878 this album was 
 knocked down for one hundred and twenty-six dollars, 
 although three hundred dollars had been previously re- 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLE Y. m 
 
 fused for it. The Mozart letter, a particularly interesting 
 specimen, was sold for fifty-two dollars to M. H. Cross, 
 Esq. 
 
 Turning from the autographs to the books, we find 
 still greater value and variety. The historical portion, 
 especially where it referred to local subjects, was almost 
 phenomenal. One precious lot comprised a complete set 
 of the first daily newspaper of the United States, begin- 
 ning with the " Pennsylvania Packet " in 1771, and con- 
 tinuing unbroken, through several changes of title and 
 proprietorship, for one hundred and seven years. An 
 amusing incident is related in connection with Mr. Mick- 
 ley's purchase of the larger portion of this series, — " Poul- 
 son's Advertiser" from 1800 to 1840. When the wagon 
 was driven to his door, loaded with the purchase, the 
 housekeeper exclaimed, " What ever is to be done with all 
 this truck ? " Yet this " truck," a mine of wealth to the 
 future historian, was sold after Mickley's death for eight 
 hundred dollars. There were city directories of several 
 editions for ninety-three years. The black-letter list was 
 quite large, and there were more than thirty editions of 
 the Bible, some of great rarity, and nearly all in a fine 
 state of preservation. 
 
 From the time of the coin robbery the older acquaint- 
 ances of Mr. Mickley noticed a decided change in him. 
 On the subject of coins, once so voluble, he grew very 
 reticent. His business, which had for many years appear- 
 ed rather a pastime than a task to him, grew irksome. 
 After a period of uncertainty, he finally decided to close 
 
II2 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 up his affairs and spend some years in foreign travel. In 
 spite of advanced age, he was both physically and men- 
 tally well equipped for such a journey. His health had 
 always been good. His temper seemed never to be 
 ruffled. Of the French and German languages he was a 
 master, and he had some knowledge of the Spanish, Ital- 
 ian, and Swedish. His previous extensive acquaintance 
 with men of many nations and habits was kept fresh in 
 mind by a remarkable memory. With all these advan- 
 tages, the period of his travels was the most interesting 
 of his life. 
 
 Mr. Mickley set sail on the 5th of June, 1869, being at 
 that time a few months past his seventieth year. He re- 
 mained abroad for three years, visiting every country in 
 Europe, ascending the Nile to the first cataract, passing 
 through the Suez Canal, and across a portion of Asia 
 Minor and Palestine. He made two trips to Northern 
 Sweden to behold the spectacle of the midnight sun. Be- 
 ing a week too late on the first season, he tried it again 
 the following year. Passing through the entire length of 
 the Gulf of Bothnia, and ascending the Tornea River, he 
 entered Lapland, crossing the Arctic circle and penetrating 
 the Arctic zone in a sledge-journey of seventy miles. The 
 indomitable old traveler pushed on until he reached a 
 small lumber-village named Pajala. On the night of June 
 23, 1 87 1, crossing the river with a small party of Swedes 
 and Finns, he ascended Mount Avasaxa. in Finland. At 
 this altitude, he says, " the sky happened to be clear in 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLEY. 113 
 
 -the direction of the sun, and he shone in all his glory as 
 the clock struck twelve." 
 
 During this prolonged absence he visited almost every 
 ■considerable town in Germany, Holland, Italy, and Eng- 
 land. The instant he arrived at a town, he seemed to 
 know the shortest cut to its museum. If there was an 
 antiquarian in the place, he knew of it beforehand, and 
 hastened either to make or renew an acquaintance. In 
 the larger cities he was surrounded by these people, and 
 he expressed unaffected surprise and pleasure at their 
 attentions. He made visits of inspection to nearly every 
 mint in Europe, having been commissioned by the Phila- 
 delphia Mint to make purchases of rare coins for its cabi- 
 net. Here the old passion appears to have blazed up 
 again for a little while. It was an entire surprise to his 
 family to discover among his posessions at his death the 
 nucleus of a new collection, which was sold for about 
 two thousand dollars. 
 
 Mr. Mickley made at this period some valued acquaint- 
 ances. Among these was the Italian composer, Merca- 
 dante. At the time of Mickley's visit, in April, 1870, the 
 composer, who was also president of the Conservatoire in 
 Naples, had been blind for eight years. " The old gentle- 
 man," says Mickley (who, by the way, was only two years 
 his junior), " held out his hand and bade me welcome. I 
 told him it would be. a lasting pleasure to have shaken 
 hands with so highly distinguished a man, whose name 
 had long since been favorably known in America. At 
 this his face brightened ; he arose from the sofa, shook 
 
114 
 
 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 my hand cordially, wishing me health, happiness, and a, 
 safe voyage." Later, at Brussels, he called on M. Fetis,. 
 the famous French musical critic and biographer. At 
 that time, in his eighty-eighth year, Fetis was a fugitive 
 from Paris, owing to the troubles of the Franco-Prussian 
 war. Mr. Mickley's picture of the veteran litdrateur and 
 critic is an engaging one, He says, "Considering his 
 great age, Mr. Fetis is very active. He climbed up the 
 step-ladder to get books and to show me such as he con- 
 sidered the most rare and interesting. He is not only 
 active in body, but he retains all the faculties of his mind. 
 He appears to have a very happy disposition. While I 
 was with him a continual smile was on his face, and it 
 seemed to give him great pleasure to show me his books. 
 He has been engaged in collecting them for over fifty 
 years, and they have cost him a sum equal to three hun- 
 dred thousand dollars, exclusive of a great many presents. 
 The first book on music was printed in 1480." At Trieste 
 he spent some time with the United States Consul there, 
 Mr. Thayer, of Boston, best known to musical and literary 
 people as the author of an exhaustive Life of Beethoven, 
 which has been under way for nearly thirty years and is 
 not yet finished. Mr. Thayer showed his visitor all the 
 historic data and personal relics which he had collected 
 for the book, of which at that date only one volume had 
 been published. Since then Mercadante and Fetis have 
 been gathered to their fathers. Their genial guest is also 
 gone. The industrious Mr. Thayer lives, with three vol- 
 umes of the Life completed, and every American, either 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLE Y. 115 
 
 literary or musical, will wish him well on to the con- 
 clusion of his magnum opus. 
 
 Mr. Mickley's plain personal habits remained almost 
 unchanged by the many unforeseen exigencies of foreign 
 travel. Once, at Rouen, six months after leaving home, 
 he says, " Tasted wine for the first time in Europe, as the 
 water here did not agree with me." A little later, at 
 Munich, he remarks, " Drank beer for the first time." 
 His pockets remained as accessible as heretofore to the 
 nimble fingered gentry. Upon his first visit to Naples, 
 he records very naively, " Three silk handkerchiefs have 
 been stolen from me here, — which is one more than in 
 London." At Jaffa, on his way from Egypt to Palestine, 
 besides the robbery of coins alluded to some time back, 
 he lost a choice autograph manuscript of Mozart which 
 had cost him two hundred and fifty francs at Salzburg. 
 If careless in these particulars, he was very watchful and 
 jealous of opportunities to uphold America's position in the 
 world. He took special pains to inform the mint-masters 
 at various points concerning the superior appliances and 
 machinery of the Philadelphia Mint. On the way back 
 from Lapland, while steaming southward along the upper 
 waters of the Gulf of Bothnia, he writes, under date of 
 July 4, 1871, "This being our national holiday, I put 
 up my flag on the door of my berth, but was obliged to 
 explain the meaning of the holiday to nearly all the pas- 
 sengers." While in England, he met at Manchester a 
 barrister who had formerly been his guest in Phila- 
 delphia. This gentleman proposed to introduce him to 
 
n6 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 an American lawyer then practising there. " I asked the 
 name. He said it was Judah P. Benjamin. I declined the 
 invitation." 
 
 Wherever Mr. Mickley journeyed, so long as any fresh 
 acquisition of knowledge was to be gained the old traveler 
 appeared insensible to fatigue. When half-wa}' up the 
 Great Pyramid an English group who were in his com- 
 pany stopped and insisted upon going no farther. He 
 resolutely continued, and they, unwilling to see so aged a 
 man out-distance them, followed reluctantly, until all 
 reached the summit and congratulated each other on the 
 famous view. In St. Petersburg, Moscow, and other Rus- 
 sian cities, which he visited in the winter season, he was 
 equally untiring and undaunted. As a specimen of his 
 accuracy of observation, he writes during his first journey 
 in Italy, " I counted forty-six tunnels between Pisa and 
 Bologna." Several severe accidents fell to his lot. In 
 Rome, while exploring a dark arched passage, he fell into 
 " Cicero's Well," receiving severe bruises. In a street in 
 Constantinople, where there are no sidewalks, he was 
 knocked down by a runaway horse and taken up for dead, 
 remaining insensible for several hours. The former of 
 these mishaps occupies three lines in his diary; the latter, 
 twelve lines. On his third visit to Leipsic he was con- 
 fined in his room for several weeks with an attack of the 
 smallpox. But in regard to none of these accidents, 
 although an aged man, thousands of miles from home, 
 and entirely alone, does he betray any symptoms of ap- 
 prehension. He merely adds, on the date of his recovery 
 
OF JOSEPH J. M ICICLE Y. n 7 
 
 from the attack at Leipsic, " This sickness has detained 
 me much longer than I had expected to stay." 
 
 In one of Mickley's trips he made a not unimportant 
 contribution to musical history. Almost every student of 
 instrumental music is acquainted with the name of Jacob 
 Steiner or Stainer, the most successful of violin makers 
 outside of the Cremonese school of workmen. Of Stein- 
 er's life but little is known, and no biography of him ex- 
 tant in either French, German, or English contains either 
 the date or place of his death. The account commonly 
 given is that he separated from his wife and died in a 
 convent. Mr. Mickley, with his accustomed perseverance, 
 started out to see if this matter might not be cleared up. 
 At Innspruck he inquired in vain for information. As 
 Fetis and Foster both fixed his birthplace at Absom, a 
 small village some twelve miles from Innspruck, Mickley 
 repaired thither. For some time his errand was fruitless. 
 He stopped in at a little shop where an old woman sold 
 photographs, etc. " I asked her, ' Did you never hear of 
 Jacob Steiner, the violin maker ? ' She replied, ' There is 
 no Steiner nor violin maker living in this town.' I then 
 said that a celebrated violin maker of that name, of whom 
 I desired some information, had lived there two hundred 
 years before. She replied, quite seriously, ' I am not two 
 hundred years old.' " A few minutes later, in the course 
 of his walk, his eye fell upon an old church, the outer wall 
 of which contained a number of stone tablets with in- 
 scriptions. A search of five minutes revealed the desired 
 information. On a plain tablet Steiner 's name was 
 
Ii8 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 found, together with the information, given in very old- 
 fashioned German, that he had died there in 1683, " at the 
 rising of the sun." 
 
 The closing field of Mr. Mickley's travels covered 
 Southern France and Spain, Lisbon, where he passed the 
 winter of 1871-72, and Madrid. The weather being very 
 severe, he was detained two months at Lisbon, where he 
 engaged a teacher and took daily lessons in Portuguese. 
 He had done the same at Stockholm the previous winter 
 with the Swedish language, which he mastered pretty 
 thoroughly. At Madrid he examined what he emphati- 
 cally pronounced the finest collection of coins in the 
 world, numbering one hundred and fifty thousand speci- 
 mens. He adds, " This is the only place in Europe where 
 the subject is properly understood. Alfonzo V., King of 
 Aragon, in the fifteenth century, was the first person 
 known to have collected coins for study or amusement, 
 and Augustin, Archbishop of Tarragona, was the first 
 writer on the subject. The science of numismatics is, 
 therefore, of Spanish origin." 
 
 Mr. Mickley left Madrid in March, crossing the Pyre- 
 nees and arriving in Paris on the 24th of that month, his 
 seventy- third birthday. He "made the tour of three 
 hundred add sixty-three miles in twelve hours, without 
 being in the least fatigued." After a few weeks passed 
 in Paris and in revisiting friends in England, he sailed for 
 home, arriving in Philadelphia June 5, 1872, exactly three 
 years from the date of his departure. 
 
 It was surprising to his friends how little change the 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLEY. II9 
 
 lapse of years and the somewhat rugged incidents of 
 travel had made in Mr. Mickley. He quickly settled 
 down, and, as nearly as possible, resumed his old habits. 
 He bought himself a residence, but followed the Paris 
 ■custom of taking his meals elsewhere. In the house he 
 was entirely alone, even without a servant. After a time 
 he showed some disposition to concede to " luxuries " 
 which he had previously ignored. Carpets he had never 
 used in his life, but he now admitted that they were very 
 pleasant and comfortable, and ordered his house carpeted 
 throughout. The arrangement of his library in the new 
 •quarters was a great pleasure, and took some time. Mr. 
 Mickley was in no sense of the word a politician, but he 
 voted pretty regularly. An incident connected with his 
 iast visit to the polls was amusing. Having been three 
 years absent, a patriotic Hibernian, who kept the window- 
 book and knew nothing of him, demanded to see his tax 
 receipt. The old gentleman went quietly home and 
 brought back the desired document. He was next asked 
 if he could read and write, which question, however, was 
 not pressed. The last scene in Mr. Mickley's life was as 
 quiet and peaceful as its whole tenor had been. On the 
 afternoon of February 15, 1878, Mr. Carl Plagemann, the 
 well-known musician and friend of many years' standing, 
 called at his house. While he waited, Mr. Mickley wrap- 
 ped for him some violin strings, the last work of his 
 hands. He requested Mr. Plagemann to go with him that 
 ■evening to visit another old friend, — Oliver Hopkinson, 
 
120 A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 
 
 Esq., at whose house there were to be some quartettes.. 
 " I have a letter," he said, "from the Russian Ambassador, 
 a part of which I am unable to translate. A Russian 
 lady is to play the piano there this evening, and I shall 
 ask her to help me out." Mr. Plagemann could not go, 
 and, as so often before, Mr. Mickley started out alone. 
 Just before reaching the house of Mr. Hopkinson he was 
 taken suddenly ill, and, chancing to be close by the resi- 
 dence of his physician, Dr. Meigs, he stopped there and 
 rang the bell. As the door opened, he said in husky 
 tones, " I am suffocating." He walked in and ascended 
 the stairs without assistance. Then he said, " Take me 
 to a window." As this was being done, he fell back in- 
 sensible into the arms of the attendants, and, a few min- 
 utes later, breathed his last. 
 
 Thus, on the very western edge of fourscore years, 
 ended this long and industrious, this peaceful and beauti- 
 ful life. In our land of busy and constant action there 
 have been few like it — surely none happier. Serene at 
 the close as it was placid in its course, its lot had been 
 cast ever between quiet shores, which it enriched on 
 either hand with its accumulated gifts of knowledge and 
 taste. And at the close of it all there could be no happier 
 eulogy than the one modestly yet comprehensively de- 
 livered by his old and congenial friend William E. Dubois, 
 himself since summoned to take the same mysterious 
 journey. "In fine," says he, "Mr. Mickley seemed su- 
 perior to any meanness ; free from vulgar passions and 
 
OF JOSEPH J. MICKLEY. I2 i 
 
 habits, from pride and vanity, from evil speaking and 
 harsh judging. He was eminently sincere, affable, kind, 
 and gentle ; in the best sense of the word he was a 
 gentleman."

 OF MTCKLEYS, PA. 
 
JACOB MICKLEY, 38. 
 
 DEATH OF JACOB MICKLEY, THE LAST SURVIVOR IN LEHIGH 
 COUNTY, OF THE WAR OF l8l2. 
 
 JACOB MICKLEY, commonly regarded as the oldest 
 ,<J male resident of Lehigh county, died on Saturday 
 afternoon at two o'clock at his home at Mickley's, aged 
 ninety-four years, two months, and six days. He had 
 been in rather feeble health for several years, but it was 
 not until a short time ago that he began to fail at a rate 
 that led his children and friends to feel that the end 
 was near. There was no organic disease — simply the 
 wearing out incident to extreme old age. March 27 th 
 last, at the celebration of his ninety-fourth anniversary, 
 he was bright, cheerful, and reminiscent, surrounded 
 by children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and 
 friends, to whom he related interesting events of the 
 long ago. All his faculties were well preserved until 
 the end. 
 
 John Jacob Mickley, the great-grandfather of Jacob 
 Mickley, was a native of Alsace, and, with a company of 
 Huguenots, emigrated to America to escape religious 
 persecution. He had four sons — John Jacob, John Martin, 
 John Peter and Henry. The first named, the grandfather 
 of the subject of this sketch, was born in what is now 
 
126 OBITUARY NOTICES OF 
 
 Lehigh county, and married Miss Susan Miller. Their 
 eldest son, Jacob, married Miss Eva Catharine Schreiber. 
 Their children were Jacob, Joseph J., Polly (Mrs. Daniel 
 Moyer), Sarah (Mrs. John Schwartz) and Anna (Mrs. 
 Andrew Sheldon). The father, who was a volunteer 
 during the famous whiskey insurrection in Pennsylvania, 
 spent his life in farming occupations in Whitehall town- 
 ship, and died at the home of his son, Jacob, in 1857, in 
 the ninety-first year of his age. 
 
 Jacob Mickley, the subject of this biography, was. 
 born on March 27th, 1794, on the homestead farm, and 
 devoted his whole life to the pursuits of agriculture. 
 The educational advantages in those days were limited, 
 and after the meagre opportunities of the home school 
 had been taken advantage of, he attended for a brief 
 period a school in Warren county, New Jersey. At the 
 early age of twelve he became familiar with all manner 
 of farm work, which in those days was far more laborious 
 than in these days of agricultural labor-saving machinery. 
 When war was declared between Great Britain and 
 America in 181 2, his youthful patriotism was stirred and 
 he enlisted, and with his Lehigh county colleagues did 
 duty at Marcus Hook and other historical places. He was 
 the last survivor in Lehigh county of the war of 181 2. 
 His memory of the stirring events of those days was clear 
 and he loved to dwell on the scenes and incidents of that 
 struggle. In 1826 he purchased the homestead farm, 
 which he continued to cultivate until 185 1, when he built 
 the residence in which he died. Mr. Mickley was married 
 
THE MICKLE V FA MIL Y. r 2 7 
 
 in 1817 to Miss Anna Kern, daughter of Nicholas Kern, 
 of Whitehall. She died in April, 1880. Their surviving 
 children are Mary (Mrs. Valentine W. Weaver, of Ma- 
 cungie); Rebecca (Mrs. Samuel Thomas, of Catasauqua); 
 Eliza (Mrs. Rev. David Kuntz, of Nazareth); Jane (Mrs. 
 Enoch Phillips, of Virginia); Edwin Mickley, of Hoken- 
 dauqua ; William Mickley, of Alburtis, and Catharine 
 Mickley, who resided with her father. The deceased 
 children are Ephraim, James, Lovinia and Francisca. 
 His only surviving sister is Mrs. Sheldon. 
 
 Mr. Mickley was an old line Whig in politics and 
 when the Republican party was organized became at 
 once an enthusiastic and devoted adherent. He was 
 largely instrumental in the erection of what is known as 
 " Mickley's Church." Of a kind and helpful disposition, 
 he was ever ready to contribute to religious and chari- 
 table objects. He was of a cheerful nature and loved to 
 be surrounded by his family and friends. He was an 
 interesting link connecting the present with the past and 
 his unclouded memory of events of the long ago made 
 him a most companionable man. He voted at every 
 Presidential election since 18 16. The funeral will take 
 place on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock from his 
 late residence. Services and interment at Mickley's 
 Church. 
 
128 OBITUARY NOTICES OF 
 
 ANNA ■ KERN-MICKLEY, 38. 
 
 AN Wednesday last the remains of Anna, the wife of 
 ^ Mr. Jacob Mickley, residing at Mickley's, in 
 Whitehall, were consigned to their last resting place in 
 the quiet church yard near the family residence, in the 
 presence of a very large concourse of mourning relatives 
 and sorrowing friends. It was one of the largest funerals 
 ever held in the township. Seldom has grief been so 
 generally sincerely expressed as marked this funeral 
 occasion, and the manifestations of sorrow given out 
 must have been to the bereaved a source of some conso- 
 lation. The death of Mrs. Mickley occurred on the 27th 
 ultimo, after a lingering illness under the infirmities of 
 her years — she having attained the age of eighty-three 
 years, nine months and eight days. She was the mother 
 of eleven children, nine of whom survive, among them 
 Messrs. Ephraim Mickley, of this city, and James W., and 
 Edwin Mickley, of Hokendauqua. Deceased was a sin- 
 cere and devout Christian, a kind and obliging neighbor 
 and friend, a fond and devoted wife and mother. What 
 higher eulogy than this ; what more could be said. She 
 has gone to her reward, and left behind a bright and 
 shining example. Her departure carries profound regret 
 and sorrow to a very large circle of acquaintances. All 
 who knew her were her friends, both young and old 
 having been attached to her by her cheerful disposition 
 and unvarying kindness. She was a consistent member 
 
THE MICKLEY FAMILY. 129 
 
 of the Reformed church, and her Christian character was 
 always manifested in her daily, life. She was especially 
 noted for her goodness of heart, gentleness of spirit, and 
 her generous treatment of the unfortunate poor. A good 
 woman, and a Christian in every sense of the word, her 
 life is an example for all to follow. The bereaved aged 
 husband and children have our earnest sympathies along 
 with those of the community. At the funeral Revs. W. 
 R. Hofford, J. D. Schindel and J. A. Little pronounced 
 appropriate discourses. 
 
 SUSAN MICKLEY-BIERY, 22. . 
 
 OUSAN, wife of the late Frederick Biery, another of 
 ^ a past generation, has gone from us to her eternal 
 home. She was the mother of the late Peter Biery. 
 She died at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Eliza 
 Lightcap, cor. Ninth and Walnut streets. She was the 
 daughter of John Martin Mickley, and was born in 
 Whitehall Township in 1773. Allentown was then a vil- 
 lage, having been laid out in 1762. 
 
 Mrs. Biery had nine children, one hundred grand- 
 children, and eighty-eight great-grandchildren, and four- 
 teen great-great-grandchildren. She was blind for some 
 years before her death.

 A l\ RS. ANNA SHELDON, of Mickleys, died on Wed- 
 nesday of last week, aged ninety-three years, six 
 months, and nineteen days; her death resulted from La 
 Grippe and the infirmities of age. Deceased was the 
 widow of Andrew Sheldon and was a member of a fam- 
 ily noted for its longevity. Her brother, Jacob Mickley, 
 died a few years ago at the age of ninety-four years. 
 Her father was ninety-two when he died, and her mother 
 lived to the age of eighty-eight. 
 
 Mrs. Sheldon was twice married; her first husband

 ALMOST A CENTURY. 
 
 JWl AR.Y M. SNYDER, relict of the late Daniel Snyder,. 
 *■ St., died on Monday at two o'clock in the after- 
 
 noon. She was seized with an attack of illness on Tues- 
 day of last week, which the attending physician, Dr. 
 Harter, pronounced lesion of the brain. This resulted 
 in paralysis of the right side on Monday morning, and 
 she gradually sank until the final change, which came 
 painlessly and peacefully. The funeral took place on 
 Thursday afternoon at three o'clock. 
 
 Mrs. Snyder was the oldest old-time resident of 
 Bloomsburg. She was born in Allentown, Pa., April 2, 
 1792, making her age ninety-seven years, three days. 
 She was the daughter of Peter Mickley and Sarah Biery 
 Mickley. Peter Mickley was a grandson of John Jacob 
 Mickley, or Michelet, who came from Rotterdam, Holland, 
 in the ship " Hope," of London, arriving in Philadelphia, 
 August 28, 1733. 
 
 Mary Mickley married Daniel Snyder in 1809, and in 
 1810 he came to Columbia county and bought twenty-six 
 
l 3 2 OBITUARY NOTICES OF 
 
 acres of land, now mostly in the built up portion of 
 Bloomsburg, paying for the same £550. His intention 
 was to erect a tannery, and he selected a site for it at 
 what is now the corner of Main street and the Lightstreet 
 Toad, on account of the run that would supply the tannery 
 with water, but he was greatly discouraged on being told 
 that this stream would sometimes run dry, and he for a 
 while contemplated giving up his claim. They were 
 living at Easton at that time, 1810, and Mr. Snyder be- 
 coming convinced that the supply of water was unfailing, 
 employed Squire Hutchison to haul him, with his family 
 and goods to Bloomsburg. They settled in a little log 
 cabin which stood where he afterwards erected the ca- 
 pacious brick mansion still occupied by the family, on the 
 corner of Main and East streets. Mr. Snyder met with 
 some business discouragements, but his pluck and energy 
 carried him through, and in ten years he was able to 
 build a two-story brick house, which afterwards was con- 
 verted into a hotel, and was known as the "Forks Hotel." 
 
 It stood at the foot of what is now Normal Hill, and 
 was then at the head of Main street. It was erected 
 about 1825, and was removed in 1875, after the building 
 of the Institution and the opening up of Main street to the 
 school. He prospered in business, became the owner of 
 a large tannery, valuable town property, and five or six 
 farms. He represented this county in the legislature 
 from 1840 to 1844. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Snyder were the parents of ten children 
 as follows : William, Sarah A., who married Dr. William 
 
THE MICKLEY FAMILY. j 33 , 
 
 Petriken ; Melvina, who married Elisha Barton ; Polly, 
 Daniel, Matilda, who married Rev. Henry Funk ; Mary 
 C, who married Dr. F. C. Harrison ; Martha Alice, who 
 married Dr. T. C. Harter ; and Clinton B. Snyder. Of 
 these, only Mrs. Petriken, Mrs. Barton, Daniel Snyder,, 
 and Mrs. Harter survive. 
 
 There are living seven grandchildren, who are the 
 following : N. U. Funk, Esq., Mrs. Gen. W. H. Ent, Mrs. 
 F. P. Billmeyer, Mrs. Alice John, Mrs. Dr. Lazarus, Clin- 
 ton C. Snyder and Mrs. W. B. Milnes. Mrs. C. W. Neal,, 
 deceased, was a granddaughter of Mrs. Snyder. There 
 are living sixteen great-grandchildren. 
 
 Mrs Snyder was a woman of equable temperament, 
 always cheerful and pleasant, a devoted Christian woman, 
 being for many years a member of the Reformed Church. 
 For nearly eighty years she lived in Bloomsburg, and saw 
 the place gradually develop from a mere country hamlet 
 to its present proportions. There are but few who have 
 lived so long, or whose birth occurred in the eighteenth 
 century, and soon they must pass away and the earth 
 shall know them no more. Mrs. Snyder possessed all 
 her faculties in a remarkable degree, her only apparent 
 weakness being loss of memory. It was a pleasure to 
 talk with her, and listen to the reminiscences of the 
 early days which she was wont to tell. She has gon& 
 to her reward, and she leaves the memories of a long 
 and useful life. 
 
I3 4 OBITUARY NOTICES OF 
 
 EDWARD B. MICKLEY, 61. 
 
 THE genial presence of our citizen, Mr. Edward B. 
 Mickley, will be sadly missed. For half a century 
 he was a resident of Waterloo. During these years he 
 made many friends who admired his happy disposition, 
 and enjoyed the cordial greeting that he always had 
 for them. 
 
 Edward Mickley came to Seneca county when a young 
 man, from North Whitehall, Lehigh county, Pennsylva- 
 nia, and settled in Fayette. At one time he was 
 supervisor of that town and held several official posi- 
 tions of public trust, discharging the duties faithfully 
 and honorably. For several years he was a grain 
 shipper to Albany and New York, and employed a 
 number of canal boats. Successful in business, he ac- 
 cumulated a fortune, but reverses came which he stood 
 manfully, retaining the confidence and respect of all. 
 Later in life he engaged in the dry goods business and his 
 services were eagerly sought by the merchants in Water- 
 loo. In 1838 he was a member of the firm of Mickley & 
 Kohler, dry goods merchants in South Waterloo. He 
 was afterwards associated with Mr. Seigfried in the flour- 
 ing business, and subsequently with the late General 
 Markel, in the brick mills in South Waterloo. Deceased 
 was seventy-six years of age. He had a high sense of 
 honor, and was particularly courteous and polite, with a 
 smile and a kind word for all. He was an affectionate

 parent and loved his family, and enjoyed the respect of 
 his fellow citizens, and lived a life of happy content. He 
 leaves a family of nine children ; six sons and three 
 daughters, all to womanhood and manhood grown. They 
 mourn the loss with heartfelt sorrow, and have the sym- 
 patny 01 many in their affliction. Mr. Mickley was 
 stricken with paralysis, Thursday, February 5th, and 
 lingered along until Wednesday of last week, February 
 nth, when he passed away. His funeral was held Satur- 
 day afternoon, at his late residence on Elizabeth street. 
 
 PETER MICKLEY, 83. 
 DETER MICKLEY, one of the oldest and most re- 
 *■ spected citizens of the county, died in Cashtown, on 
 Tuesday, April 25th, 1893, aged ninety-five years, eleven 
 months, and fifteen days. Mr. Mickley was born on the 
 nth day of May, 1797, at the old Mickley home on the 
 banks of Little Marsh creek in Franklin township, this 
 county. He always lived in his native township and was 
 a leading citizen, whose opinions and views had the force 
 of a strong individuality and were regarded by his neigh- 
 bors as sound and conservative. 
 
 This family has been a long lived one; his brothers, 
 Abram and Henry, having only preceded him by a few 
 years, also at a ripe old age. Daniel Mickley, the father 
 of Colonel D. W. Mickley, is the only surviving member 
 of this once large family, who is now almost ninety-eight 
 years old and much enfeebled by his extreme age.

 OBITUARY NOTICES OF 
 
 REBECCA MICKLEY-THOMAS, 125. 
 
 DEBECCA, the beloved wife of Mr. Samuel Thomas, 
 •^ died at their temporary home, at six o'clock, on 
 Sunday morning last. For months she had been in ill- 
 health, but on Sunday, 8th inst, her illness assumed a 
 most serious form, and throughout the week the gravest 
 apprehensions were entertained. Dr. M. E. Hornbeck, 
 her attending physician, called to his aid Drs. E. 
 G. Martin and W. L. Estes, of St. Luke's Hospital, and 
 Dr. J. C. Guernsey, her son-in-law, of Philadelphia, were 
 present on several occasions, but all that medical science 
 and loving attendance could do was of no avail. On Sun- 
 day her case became hopeless. The invalid was not 
 sufficiently strong to rally from the disease, and lingered, 
 surrounded by loving relatives and friends, until six 
 o'clock a. m., when frail humanity gave up the cares of 
 this world and her spirit took its flight to realms above, 
 mourned by a wide circle of relatives and friends. Her

 vive her. Descending from a celebrated family and by- 
 marriage connecting herself with the eldest son of the 
 renowned David Thomas, she has always deservedly 
 held a prominent position in our valley. 
 
 She was always an earnest and devoted member of 
 the Presbyterian Church; her husband was the first elder 
 in the Presbyterian Church at Hokendauqua; and she 
 freely gave her time and means to the advancement of 
 that denomination. She was a woman of culture and re- 
 finement, being deeply devoted to her family and home. 
 Loved by all her neighbors, her loss will be sadly felt. 
 She was greatly interested in the rebuilding and improve- 
 ment of their home, Second and Pine streets, in the midst 
 of which alterations, the husband was called to part with 
 his helpmeet in the designs. The funeral took place on 
 Thursday afternoon, short services were held at the 
 house, and the remains conveyed to the First Presbyterian 
 Church, Catasauqua, by the following pall-bearers: 
 Messrs. James Thomas, Charles Corwin, Morgan Emanuel, 
 Daniel Davis, Daniel Milson and James Nevins, life-long 
 friends of the deceased. The church was crowded with 
 friends from all the towns along the valley and distant 
 points. The cortege entered while Professor Prescott, 
 who presided at the organ, rendered Chopin's dirge. The 
 Thomas Quartette, of Hokendauqua, most beautifully 
 rendered the vocal selections. The services throughout 
 were very solemn and impressive. The pastors who took 
 part in the services were Rev. David Harbison, Rev. Dr.

 ELIZABETH A. DESHLER-MICKLEY, 126. 
 
 "CLIZABETH A., wife of Ephraim Mickley, residing 
 on Gordon street near Sixth, died on Sunday even- 
 ing last, after only a few days illness. Her demise casts 
 a gloom over a large circle of friends and relatives. 
 Verily, " In the midst of life we are in death." 
 
 She had but last spring removed with her husband 
 to this city, to await the completion of a new home 
 on North Sixth street, which she had especially arranged 
 for convenience and comfort. But alas, she was sum- 
 moned before it was ready for occupancy. She first com- 
 plained of illness on Wednesday, but was not thought 
 seriously ill until Friday. Her ailment was spotted fever. 
 She was the daughter of our long deceased townsman, 
 James Deshler, of Whitehall, and a sister of Jacob, D. J., 
 Frank, and Peter Deshler. 
 
 She was a woman whose home and its duties were 
 dear to her heart, of gentle and unaffected manners, ami- 
 cable disposition, and was held in high esteem by her 
 numerous friends and acquaintances. In her death, her 
 husband has lost a dutiful and loving companion. The 
 community sympathizes with him in his great bereave- 
 ment. Interment will be made in the Deshler family 
 plot at Egypt, Pa.

 THE OLD PIONEER SUDDENLY STRICKEN YESTERDAY WITH: 
 APOPLEXY. 
 
 JOHN J. MICKLEY, an old resident of this city, Vis- 
 ^ alia, was suddenly stricken with apoplexy yesterday 
 afternoon (December 6th, 1892), about 2.30 o'clock, and 
 after a few minutes struggling finally died. Mr. Mick- 
 ley has not been well since last Thursday, and has not 
 been in his jewelry shop for several days. He slept 
 all of yesterday morning, getting up about one o'clock. 
 While lying on a lounge in his dining-room he was at- 
 tacked by the dread malady. Mrs. Mickley sent for Dr. 
 Hall, who arrived quickly, but the unfortunate man was 
 beyond all human aid. He died in a few minutes after 
 the attack. 
 
 Mr. Mickley was the son of the late Joseph J. and 
 Diana Blumer-Mickley, and was a native of Philadel- 
 phia, Pa. He was born November 23d, 1836, and at his 
 death was fifty-six years old. He came to this county 
 about 1858, after which he moved to Mariposa County,, 
 where he remained for several years, finally moving to 
 this city. He has been a resident of Visalia for the 
 past thirty years, and has been engaged in the jewelry 
 business during all that time. The deceased was a 
 singularly quiet man, but had made a host of friends 
 since his residence here, and the news of his death 
 will cause regret wherever he was known. He was a.

 MATHIAS MICKLEY, 155. 
 
 THE death of Mathias Mickley, which occurred on 
 Saturday morning, although sudden was not unex- 
 pected. For several months he had been confined to his 
 room by a complication of kidney and dropsical diseases 
 which almost from the first threatened to be serious. 
 During his sickness he was cheerful and hopeful, although 
 realizing that the end might not be far off. He failed 
 rapidly during Friday night, and in the early morning of 
 Saturday suddenly throwing his hands above his head, 
 breathed his last. 
 
 The funeral took place Monday at two o'clock from the 
 court room adjoining the rooms occupied by the family of 
 the deceased. The ceremonies were in charge of the 
 Ancient Order of United Workmen, of which the late 
 Sheriff had been a member, the lodge attending in a 
 body, with a large representation of the Sauk Rapids 
 lodge, and also the J. M. McKelvy Post, G. A. R. The 
 county officers attended in a body, and the local bar was 
 largely represented. The services were conducted by the 
 Rev. E. V. Campbell, pastor of the Presbyterian church — 
 the singing being by a male quartette, Messrs. Smith, 
 Waller, Mills and Hargrave — after which the remains 
 were taken to the Masonic burial grounds, the procession 
 being a large one. The pall bearers were : P. R. Grieb-

THE MICK LEY FAMILY. 145 
 
 Sheriff Mickley was one of the most popular men both 
 -personally and politically in Stearns county. His big 
 body contained a big heart, and he numbered his friends 
 by the score in every town and precinct. He leaves a 
 wife and five children, four boys and one girl, the eldest a 
 boy of eleven years and the youngest an infant. The fol- 
 lowing sketch of his life, the data for which was furnished 
 by himself, is republished from The Journal-Press of 
 January 6, 1S87, where it first appeared : 
 
 " Mathias Mickley is a Pennslylvanian, and was born 
 in Lehigh county in November, 1833. His father was 
 in the iron ore and furnace business, and after the 
 usual siege at the village school he sent his son to the 
 college at Easton. Young Mat., however, did not take 
 kindly to quiet student life, he wanted something more 
 stirring, and in 1853 he came west, to St. Paul. He 
 worked his own way, taking care of himself, and later he 
 took a trip through the Indian country, being curious to 
 see the aborigines in their own houses. In 1856 he came 
 to St. Cloud and took charge of Col. Lowry's lumber yard 
 for a year, and for the following two years ran it on his 
 own account. In the fall of 1856 he was appointed Deputy 
 Sheriff and was Sheriff when, at the Indian outbreak, he 
 joined the Minnesota Mounted Rangers and went west 
 with Gen. Sibley's expedition. Returning from that trip 
 with a whole skin and his scalp in the place where the 
 scalp ought to be, he enlisted in the Minnesota First and 
 got South in time to see a good deal of stiff fighting and 
 .served until the close of the war, when he returned home 
 
146 OBITUARY NOTICES. 
 
 and was again made Deputy Sheriff, and at the next 
 election was made Sheriff, which office he has retained 
 since with the exception of two years, when he retired to 
 private life and another term as Deputy. In all he has 
 been Sheriff and Deputy about twenty-five years. In 
 August, 1873, he married Miss Augusta Dorr, and they 
 have several children. Sheriff Mickleyis a great favorite 
 in Stearns county, and there are a good many voters of 
 both parties whose support he can always count on 
 against any competitor." 
 
COMPILER'S NOTICE. 
 
 T HOPE the record will be kept by the -members of the family. 
 It may have been noticed that the date of birth has been 
 omitted in the Fifth and Sixth Generations; it was impossible to 
 get the dates of the last generation., because they are living. 
 It is only the dead whose dates are recorded in the Fifth and 
 Sixth Generations, which idea I hope will be faithfully carried 
 out, and in this way we will have a full record. The space 
 has been left for the insertion of dates. I know this is not the 
 general rule for genealogies, but I have tried to make the rec- 
 ord in every way acceptable to all the members of the Mickley 
 family. It is hoped that as many as possible will be present at 
 the reunion of the family upon the anniversary of our ances- 
 tor's arrival in America, August 27th, 1733, which we hope to- 
 celebrate at Mickley s, August 27th, iSg4. 
 
HISTORICAL MEMORABILIA. 
 
THE LIBERTY BELL EPISODE. 
 
 '"THE Liberty Bell of Philadelphia, famous as having 
 proclaimed the adoption of the Declaration of Inde- 
 pendence on July 4th, 1776, has made two remarkable 
 journeys which are in striking contrast — before the tri- 
 umphal one to Chicago which has just occurred. The 
 latter one of the two referred to was in January, 1885, to 
 the World's Fair in New Orleans which is oftener re- 
 called as the great Cotton Exposition. On that journey 
 as on the one of the present year, 1893, it was honored in 
 every possible way until its return to Philadelphia in 
 June of the same year. 
 
 Its first journey, made in September, 1777, one hun- 
 dred and eight years earlier, was of a different character. 
 And but few persons were entrusted with the important 
 secret of its removal from the State House or of its des- 
 tination. 
 
 A panel of a large stained glass window adorning the 
 facade of Zion's Reformed Church of Allentown, Penn- 
 sylvania, has a representation of the old bell with the 
 following inscription : " In commemoration of the safe- 
 keeping of the Liberty Bell in Zion's Reformed Church, 
 A. D., 1777. 
 
 It will be remembered that when the British troops 
 invaded Philadelphia the bell was secretly removed for 
 
HISTORICAL MEMORABILIA. ^i 
 
 safe-keeping, and that it was loaded on a wagon and car- 
 ried off, ostensibly with the baggage train of the Contin- 
 ental Army. The impression was given that its sacred 
 and patriotic tongue had forever been drowned in the 
 Delaware river. Some historians say it was taken to 
 Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where Congress repaired in 
 1777, the same month removing to York, Pennsylvania, 
 where it remained in session until June 27, 1778. 
 
 The fact was that in September, 1777, by order of the 
 Executive Council, the State House bell, the bells of 
 Christ Church and St. Peter's Church, eleven bells, were 
 removed to Allentown by way of Bethlehem. This 
 action was taken, it is said, because it was recognized as 
 one of the rights of the captors of a town to seize upon 
 the church bells as spoils of war and transmute them into 
 cannon. After the evacuation of Philadelphia by the 
 British, the bells were brought back and put in their res- 
 pective places, in the latter part of the year 1778. 
 
 The diary of the Moravian Church of Bethlehem, kept 
 by the presiding Bishop, has the following entry under 
 date of September 23, 1777 : "The bells from Philadel- 
 phia brought in wagons. The wagon with the State 
 House Bell broke down here, so it had to be unloaded ; 
 the other bells went on." They were all taken to Allen- 
 town and the State House bell and the chimes of Christ 
 Church were buried beneath the floor of Zion's Reformed 
 Church. The Church was built in 1762, of logs, rebuilt 
 of stone in 1770, and again rebuilt later. The Rev. 
 Abraham Blummer was pastor of the Church at the 
 
152

 time the bells arrived and assisted in the work of con- 
 cealing them. His son Henry was married to Sarah, a 
 daughter of John Jacob Mickley, (my great-great- grand- 
 father), who had charge of the bells from Philadelphia to 
 Allentown. He brought them on his wagon, drawn by 
 his own horses. His son, John Jacob, (my great-grand- 
 father), then a boy of eleven years, rode on the wagon 
 which carried the State House bell, and was occasionally 
 allowed to drive. The description, as he gave it, of his 
 first visit and ride to and from Philadelphia, as told to 
 his grandchildren (of whom my father is one), would be 
 an interesting story. 
 
 The bells were taken from Philadelphia during the 
 night and had the appearance of farmers' wagons, loaded 
 with manure, the strategy used to conceal them and to 
 insure their safety. The breaking down of the wagon at 
 Bethlehem was a most aggravating delay just six miles 
 from home and four miles from the place where the bells 
 were to be concealed. 
 
 John Jacob Mickley, who had charge of the bell, was 
 the son of John Jacques Michelet, a Huguenot refugee of 
 the Michelet family, of Metz, Lorraine, France. The 
 family fled to Deux Ponts, then a German Province, 
 whence the son left for Rotterdam and came to America 
 on the ship Hope, to Philadelphia. On this ship his 
 name was registered Johan Jacob Mueckli. Arriving in 
 Philadelphia he took the oath of allegiance, August 27, 
 1733, and settled in White Hall, Lehigh County, Pennsyl- 
 vania, where many of his descendants reside. The name

 has undergone many changes. In various deeds and 
 other documents in my possession the name is written 
 Michelet, Miquelet, Mueckli, Michley, and finally fell 
 into the present form of Mickley, used during the past 
 four generations. Jean Jacques had three sons, the eld- 
 est, John Jacob, who with his large means aided in every 
 way he could the cause of the Continental Army. He 
 gave his teams for its use and his personal assistance in 
 secreting the hells of Philadelphia. John Martin, his 
 brother, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and was 
 in the battle of Germantown. John Peter, the third 
 brother, served in the capacity of fif er, was in the battle 
 of Germantown and served during the entire Revolution- 
 ary war. — Written for the "American Monthly Magazine" by 
 Minnie F. Mickley. 
 
 Note— Frederick Leiser's wagon was used to convey the State House 
 Bell from Bethlehem to Allentown; when the hreakdown occurred his wagon 
 was pressed into service, but whether he accompanied the "bell or not, I do 
 not know. His great-grandson furnished me with this interesting item.
