Michael Shank was the son of Charles "Wesley" and Anna Shank. He and Mary Hose fell in love and wanted to marry, but her father forbid it. Once when Mary's father was chasing Michael off their property, the latter is said to have told him "Now you'll have two to take care of instead of just one." Not long afterward, Mary gave birth to she and Michael's daughter Dollie.

Michael later married Daisy Butts, with whom he had a son, Norman. He worked for the railroad and also washed dishes at a restaurant near Park Circle in Hagerstown.
