Michael was born to a Prussian born father, Henry, and a French born mother, Elizabeth.  He was a grocery store owner that married a German born wife, Abbie Prellwitz.  In the 1900 US census his mother-in law is living with them.  Her name is Marie Prellwitz. The Prellwitz came from Prussia by 1872 but may have come by way of Canada.   Michael did quite well for himself.  He owned some property.  Abbie had 3 children and 2 survived.  She immigrated in 1872 along with her mom.    Abbie would have been 8 years old at the time.  She ended up spending the last of her life in an institution for insane people. 


We have pictures of Michael in front of his house.  I have Michael living with parents in :

Although we know that John Prellwitz and his family came over into the states in 1872 we have not been able to find a ship manifest with the family.  We think they probably came in through Canada as the Gadbois family did.
