MICHAEL VAN TUYL, retired farmer, Franklin, son of Michael and Sophia (Cubberly) Van Tuyl, was born in New Jersey in 1813. When 2 years of age, his parents moved to Franklin and bought 800 acres of land. He was married, in 1834, to Addie E., daughter of James and Elizabeth (Ingall) Craig, born in Lycoming Co., Penn., in 1819; they had two children, one living—Martha, married to the Rev. F. M. Wood, of Xenia; and Elizabeth, deceased, wife of Prof. A. C. Tyler, of Glendale, Hamilton Co., Ohio; she died in 1872, leaving two children. After his marriage, Mr. Van Tuyl received 106 acres of choice land of his father, situated on Sec. 31; he cleared about 60 acres and erected a fine house and barn, and made a number of improvements; he still owns this farm and 4 acres adjoining. In the fall of 1881, he concluded to lead a retired life, so came to Franklin and purchased a lot on Fifth street, where he has erected a nice residence and expects to pass the remainder of his days in comfort. Himself and family are members of the Presbyterian Church, of which he is a Ruling Elder.
