MAX MICHELS, dealer in clothing. etc., Corry, was born on the Rhine, in Germany. He received a limited education in his Fatherland, and emigrated to America when twelve years of age. When thirteen years of age he learned tailoring and cigar-making (which he followed, five years) in New York. Our subject moved to Corry in 1865, where he first engaged with Siegel & Co., but for the past four years has been doing a successful business for himself. Mr. Michels has been twice married, first to Herenietta Siegel, with whom he lived eighteen years, and whose death occurred in 1871. One child Max, Jr.— is now living. In 1881, Mr. Michels was united in marriage with Rosa Goldsmith, of New York, and one child— Augusta— has blessed this union.
