NOTES: (Ron Friedel - 4/97) In 1874, Michael Seurer owned 80 acres in Section 4 of Forest Township. Later, another 80 adjoining acres were purchased and then Michael's sons Nicholas and Philip each farmed on their 80 acres. An old, brick home still stands on the corner of Log Tavern and Pit Roads. This is Michael's homesite. It may have been his home, or may have been built later by Philip. The J. Reiden home also still stands, about 1/4 east of here. Nicholas Seurer's house, which was between these two houses, no longer exists. 36
