Michael Bookwalter, farmer, P. O. Gardner, was born in Pennsylvania April 7, 
1835; is a brother of Benjamin, whose sketch appears elsewhere; his life has 
also been spent on the farm. He was married, in 1861, to Sarah, a daughter of 
George B. and Rebecca (Somers) Kulp, natives of Pennsylvania; her parents came 
to this county about 1854; their children were four - Joseph, Sarah, Jacob and 
Alvin; the mother survives, living in Iowa. Our subject has five children as a 
result of his marriage, three of whom are living - Rebecca, wife of John 
Robertson; Minerva E. and Alice C. Mr. B. settled for awhile after his 
marriage on his father's farm. In 1874, he located on his present farm of 
eighty-four acres; he has in all 240 acres of fine land, on which he is 
raising fine stock; his first wife died, and in 1873, he was again married, to
