I AM LOOKING FOR ANYONE RELATED TO PERRY AND DORITHY MICKEL OF WILTON MANNERS FLORIDA.ALSO RELATED TO APPLEGATES. PLEASE REPLY,THANKS PERRY TOWNSEND

I have been researching the name "Mickel" for some time in an attempt to track down the same surname in the family I'm working on. This is what I know about Perry Clinton Mickel:

He was a son of John H. Mickel born about 1854 in Ohio and his wife Anna born about 1856 in New Jersey or Ohio. He had a sister, Margie, born in 1890. Perry was born 4 June 1893 in Cameron, Missouri and died November 1968 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I believe that he was probably a grandson of Clinton Mickel and his wife Mary who at the time of the 1880 census were living in Concord, Fayette County, Ohio. In that census was a son named John who was of the right age to be Perry's father. Also in that census was a daughter named Rachel whom I believe to be the person I am searching for.

Prior to moving to Florida some time between 1924 and 1926, Perry lived in Sheridan, Indiana. I'm sorry I don't have any more information about this family. I just thought I'd pass on to you what I've found.

The first article posted had a mis spelling of the city. It is Wilton Manors not Manners. Also, Perry Mickel owned a substantial amount of land, during the early years of Wilton Manors. Perry Mickel donated a 10 acre parcel to the city for Wilton Manors youth baseball, around 1950 (Mickel Field, 2675 NW 7th Ave. A writer for the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel, named Cynthia Thuma wrote a book and had it published on the history of Wilton Manors. The Mickel Family played a huge part in the history of Wilton Manors. If you are unaware of Thuma's book, you can eamil me and I will furnish the name of the publisher and an email address to reach Cynthia Thuma. I too would like some information on any living relatives of Perry Mickel, as I would like to know some history on Mickel Field in Wilton Manors Florida.
FYI Mickel Field is located 26 degrees, 9 minutes and 36.3 minutes N (Latitude) and 80 degrees, 9 minutes and 12.8 minutes W (Longitude) if you would like to view in satellite imagery.
