   COMLY MICHENER county commissioner, P.O. Danborough, was 
born in Plumstead township March 20, 1821, and is a son of 
Abraham and Jane (Worthington) Michener, natives of Bucks 
county and of English descent.  The first of the Michener 
family to come to this country were two cousins, who came 
from England at an early date and settled in Bucks county. 
The grandfather, George Michener, was a resident of 
Plumstead township and was a farmer.  The father of Comly 
Michener was also a farmer.  He was a prominent man during 
his life, holding several positions of trust.  He was the 
father of six children:  Cephas W. (deceased), John T., Hugh 
B. (deceased), Comly, Gaynor T. and Watson (deceased).  
Comly was reared on a farm and has always followed farming.  
He was elected county commissioner in 1884, which office 
expires in the fall of 1887, and has filled this position to 
the satisfaction of all concerned.  Comly Michener is a very 
prominent and influential citizen of his township, having 
held the position of school director for a number of years, 
and was also jury commissioner for three years.  In 1846 he 
married Mary B. Smith, by whom he has two children:  
Caroline C., wife of Evan Stover, and Edmund E., married to 
Phoebe Ely.  Mr. and Mrs. Michener are members of the 
Society of Friends.
