Description	:	Philip J. Michael "Philip Michael, Sr., was a farmer by vocation who came to Nebraska in 1885, and became one of the pioneer settlers of Box Butte county, as he drove across country from Iowa settling southwest of Hemingford when this country was sparsely settled, and practically an unbroken wilderness covered with buffalo grass and prairie flowers.

Michael "Philip Michael, Sr., was a farmer by vocation who came to Nebraska in 1885, and became one of the pioneer settlers of Box Butte county, as he drove across country from Iowa settling southwest of Hemingford when this country was sparsely settled, and practically an unbroken wilderness covered with buffalo grass and prairie flowers. The family settled on their pioneer farm near the frontier, built the regulation sod house for a home, made necessary shelters for their stock, broke their land as soon as possible and put all the crops that would provide them with some food. Those first years here on the high prairies were hard one for the early settlers; money was scarce, drought killed much of the crops, and what was left in many cases the grasshoppers ate up and many cattle died during the winter blizzards, but Mr. Michael was stout hearted, believed that there was to be a great future for this country and held on. For the first years he made money to buy provisions by freighting from Nonpariel to Valentine, a hundred and fifty miles away, and in this manner managed to hold down his claim and prove up on his land when many of the settlers became discouraged or were forced to leave or starve. Water was the great and important question of the pioneers of this region and Mr. Michael had to haul his for many miles, both for his family use and to water his stock, until wells were sunk on his farm."
