Mike wanted to be involved in city and county politics, but needed to be a landowner to do so. After his mother Mary Tuohy Hogan proved up on her homestead, she deeded it to Mike. She then moved to Hurley where her sons Daniel and Jim Hogan built her a house near Jim's own. (Her house later became Arthur Hogan and Magdalene Frison's house.

On February 7 1892, Michael and his wife Kte sold 320 acres of land in Turner Cty SD to LK Lord.

Michael ran for public office, lost the election, and was involved in a horse and buggy crash on election night. He suffered injuries, and soon after contracted tuberculosis. His brother Jim accompanied Mike to a sanatorium in Texas, but Mike died after his crash. On February 11 1893, two days before his death at San Antonio Texas, he sold his brother Jim 220 acres of land in Turner Cty SD for an amount illegible on the deed.

Michael had married a high-maintenance woman who never fit into the family well, and particularly disliked her mother-in-law. After his death, Mike's wife Kate sold his farm, and went back to her own family. Mike is buried in the Parker, SD church cemetery.
