Son of John Pickle and Susannah (Rishell) Pickle Mogle, he was named in his father's will. Lewis's father died when he was quite young, and he was raised by his step-father Henry Mogle. He apparently thought well of him as he named his first son for him. Note - Some researchers have assigned a middle initial of "K" but I have found no extant records to support this. His nephews and grandson do have that middle initial. He may have used the name Bickel/Bickle later in life as did two of his sons and his brother Tobias.
He, along with older brother Tobias, migrated to the west as young men. The first record found for him as an adult is his marriage. "Lewis Pickel to Mary Mitchell, 22 Dec 1840, daughter of Robert Mitchell, by Joseph Sharp Justice of the Peace".
In 1850, he and his young family are found in Wayne Township, Armstrong County. In 1851, his wife Mary died and Lewis seems to disappear for a time. His surviving children are parceled out to family members as Mary's brother George S. Mitchell asks the Indiana County Orphans Court to assign guardians for her minor children in 1859.
Lewis next appears in Blair County when he enlists on 5 Dec 1861 in Co. A, 84th PA, along with sons Henry and Robert. For the next 2 years he moves between Co. A and C, is detailed to the Quartermaster and in 1864 serves as a teamster. He mustered out in Dec 1864 near Petersburg, Virginia, when his enlistment expired. The unit fought at Winchester, Virginia, losing 90 of its 260 men. Winchester was only the beginning; the 84th Regiment was engaged in the following engagements: Cedar Mountain (Aug 9, 1862), Second Bull Run (Aug. 30, 1862), Fredericksburg (Dec 30, 1862), Chancellorsville (May 2, 1863), the Wilderness Campaign (May, 1864), and Petersburg (June 14, 1864). The 84th took a prominent role in the Wilderness Campaign (considered to have been some of the most horrendous fighting of the war). Two of Lewis's sons were wounded there.
I found no evidence that he ever applied for a pension based on his service.
I'm struggling to locate him after the Civil War. I found an IRS item from 1866 in Williamsburg, Blair County, then once again, Lewis seems to disappear until found on the 1880 census in Allegheny Township, Blair County.
His 1888 death is recorded in his family bible, and a notice in the paper the following year are the only thing I've found about his passing. A burial location in not yet known.
Lewis and Mary had five known children together: Henry Mogle, John, Robert Mitchell, Susanna, and Sarah/Mary Jane (Pickel) Yon
