Served in Company I, 7th Michigan Cavalry during the Civil War. According to a Civil War Pension Index, Michael E. Weatherbee applied for an Invalid's Pension on March 4, 1892 in the state of Iowa. On the same record, it shows that his wife Favorette E. Weatherbee applied for a Widow's Pension on July 12, 1915. This would lead one to believe that he died sometime before July 12, 1915.
