"Michael P. Senefeld was born at Oak Forest, Franklin county, June 9, 1860, son of John and Eva Senefeld, both natives of Germany. His parents came to this country and located in Butler township, Franklin county. His father was a cooper by trade, which occupation he had followed in the old country. In 1865 the elder Senefeld moved his family to Brookville, Indiana, and established a cooper shop, which he operated for many years. Michael P. Senefeld was one of seven children of John and Eva Senefeld, the others being the Reverend Father Senefeld, of New Albany; Peter, who lives in Indianapolis; Charles, who lives in Brookville, and four sisters, Mrs. Joseph Reeder, of Connersville, Indiana; Mrs. Mary Peters, of Brookville, Indiana, and Barbara and Eva, who keep house for their brother, the Reverend Father Senefeld, of New Albany. The parents of these children were devout attendants at St. Michael's Catholic church at Brookville. Michael Senefeld at thirteen years of age was apprenticed to a printer, learning 'the art preservative of all arts' on the Brookville Democrat. He followed this trade until 1886, when, with his brother-in-law, W. A. Koehler, he bought the Valley House from their father-in-law, Peter Schaf, and faithfully maintained the splendid reputation achieved by their predecessor in the operation of this celebrated hotel. In 1907 Mr. Senefeld purchased the interest of his partner and continued as the sole owner of the Valley House until his death, which occurred September 26, 1913. Since that time Mrs. Susanna J. (Schaf) Senefeld has continued the operation of the Valley House. Having been reared in this hotel as the daughter of the famous owner, Peter Schaf, Mrs. Senefeld naturally adapted herself to the activities of management and has failed in nothing to keep the house up to its splendid reputations. She takes a great deal of pride in the cuisine and service of her hotel, and it has been said with a great deal of truth that she serves one of the best, if not the very best, meals in southern Indiana. Mrs. Senefeld would rather be complimented on the excellence of the accommodations of her hotel than to increase the revenue of it. Travelers who make Brookville never weary of praising Mrs. Senefeld and the hospitality accorded them. To Mr. and Mrs. Senefeld were born four children. ...".
