The Ionia Standard, Friday, February 8, 1889

Philip Simson Mickel, who died on the 2d. inst., was born in Tompkins county, 
New York, March 31, 1816.  He moved with his father’s family to Crawford 
county, Pa., about the year 1836, where he married Betsy Peck, who now 
survives him.  In the year 1851 he moved to Michigan with his family and 
settled in this county, living here until 1859, when he moved to Illinois and 
soon after to the state of Arkansas, where he commenced the treatment of 
cancer, which gave him a notoriety over all of the western states.  About the 
year 1873 his health began to fail and he came back to Michigan.  With the 
assistance of his son, Dr. J. V. Mickel, he continued the practice of his 
specialty until the last few years, when he was compelled, on account of his 
failing health, to surrender nearly all of his practice to his son.  Five 
children survive him—one son and four daughters, Dr. J. V. Mickel, of this 
city, Mrs. Brown, living in this county, another daughter living in Montcalm 
county, and two others in Iowa.
