  Witness-Obituary	Jacob McMichael, fifth son of James, married Lavinia, daughter of Simon Mabee, and settled on Lot 13, 5th concession of Townsencl. This latter-day pioneer proved himself a worthy brother of Richard McMichael, and much that has been written of the latter will apply to Jacob as well. He was upright and honorable in all the busy activities of his life, and he left a record behind him of which his children may proudly boast. He was a model farmer and figured prominently in the various agricultural societies. For many years he officiated as deacon in the old Boston Baptist church. He died at a ripe old age, leaving ten sons—Simon, Lafayette, James, David, Aaron, Hezekiah, Jacob, Homer, Arkell and Orvell; and two daughters —Abigail and Mary. Of this family three are doctors in New York City, one is a doctor in Chicago, one a Baptist preacher in New York State, and one is an artist and another a merchant in the city of Buffalo.
