Michael's oldest son, Peter Ege, inherited Pine Grove Iron Works. In 1829, Peter built for his wife, Jane Arthur Ege, a red brick, English Tudor mansion. Jane died at Pine Grove in 1841 and was laid to rest in the Pine Grove Cemetery next to her son George Washington Ege, who had died in 1831


American Volunteer (Carlisle, PA) newspaper, of March 11, 1841:
Died at Pine Grove of Bronchitis, on the 1st day of February last, Mrs Jane Ege, consort of Mr Peter Ege, aged 66 years, 8 months and 3 days. In noticing the death of a friend, and such was Mrs. Ege, whose virtues shone conspicuously in the domestic circle, the finer feelings of sympathy common to the human heart, touched by the hand of distress, utter their cries, unavailing as they may be to the departed.
As a wife she was kind - as a parent, indulgent - and as a member of community, respected. Full of years and deep in the affections of her acquaintances, she bade farewell to the fleeting jobs of earth, whilst the spirit winged its way to an abode in that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns. Her highest eulogy is that her memory will long be cherished in the hearts of those who knew her.
