He appears in the 1860 census of Sierra County, California, as a miner, and was farming in Boise at the time of the 1870 census.

The Idaho Daily Statesman, April 17, 1902:
Schick, P. L.
Well Known Boise Farmer Dies as Result of Burns.
Case Without a Parallel
His Back Burned to a Crisp Without Pain and Death Comes Equally Painless-Funeral Today at Dry Creek Cemetery
P.L. Schick, one of the best known and popular farmers in Ada county, died at his home on Dry creek at 8 o'clock Tuesday night. The funeral will be held from the Dry Creek church at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Rev. E.N. Murphy of the Second Presbyterian church will officiate. Interment will be made in Dry Creek cemetery.
Mr. Schick never recovered from the burns suffered by him Saturday evening on his way home from this city. The Statesman contained a full report of the strange occurrence about how his clothes burned off his body without causing him any pain.
When Dr. Bowers examined the unfortunate man's condition as quickly as he could reach the Schick home after the strange accident, he found his shoulders and back absolutely charred, being burned until the bones could almost be seen. Mr. Schick did not feel the slightest pain when the physician was dressing the awful burns. The physicians his case is a most remarkable one. Being in good health, how injuries that proved fatal could have been sustained without pain is a mystery. After the burning of his body the shock to the system was great and from it he never recovered. He died as a result of the shock, explained the physician in charge. The books show that no one ever recovers from a scald which destroys one third of the epidermis of the human body. Fully that amount was destroyed on Mr. Schick so that death was certain as an immediate result of the accident.
The deceased was well known in this city as a large hearted man of a most kindly nature. He owned a well improved farm of 400 acres, one of the best in Ada county.
He leaves a wife and daughter. The latter is the wife of Forest See.
