Mr. Uriell was a pioneer of Clayton county, and one of the few early settlers to see the beginning of '98. +++ History of Clayton County, Iowa; from the earliest historical times down to the present: including a genealogical and biographical record of many representative families, prepared from data obtained from original sources of information, page 411 Michael Uriell — Michael Uriell was born September 25, 1816, in County Tipperary, Ireland, his parents being John and Mary (Gleason) Uriell, where he had few educational advantages and passed his early life on a farm. His father having died previously, in March, 1838, with his mother and two brothers, Patrick and John, they emigrated to the United States, landing in New Orleans, and thence came to St. Louis and finally came to McGregor, which they reached November 1st, 1838. From there they started with an ox team through the timber, Joel Post was the only one before them. They first went to Farmersburg and in the next spring to what was afterward Read township, and located on the farm which was subsequently known as the James Uriell place, where he remained with his brother Patrick, who had entered the land. Joel Post and Elias Miner were the only two settlers before them in what is now known as Read township. In those days Mr. Uriell has said : "There was not a blacksmith in Clayton county and I used to go to Prairie du Chien to get my plow fixed, and to Catfish mill, Dubuque, to get my flour." About this time the government had opened a farm near Fort Atkinson for the purpose of teaching the Indians the art of farming and to this place Mr. Uriell was attracted, and there he worked several years, as overseer, until the Indians were taken to Crow Wing river, Minnesota, by Gen. Fletcher, then the agent. After his return to Clayton county he settled on the northeast quarter of section 29, Read township, which he had entered some years previous. This farm he has owned fifty-nine years and here he resided until he came to Elkader. Mr. Uriell was the second justice of the peace elected in his township and for ten years served the county as a member of the Board of Supervisors. In all places of trust he was regarded as a man of high honor and a valuable officer. Upon his retirement from the Board of Supervisors the North Iowa Times, in speaking of it at that time said : "In the retirement of Hon. M. Uriell, the county loses the services of a valuable and honest servant, one who has faithfully discharged the duties devolving upon him with a zealous and earnest desire to benefit those for whom he was laboring. We believe we are but expressing the feelings of the people over the county when we say that in the retirement of Michael Uriell, Clayton county has parted with an honest, faithful, upright servant."
