General Notes: Husband - James Neal


He was reared on the home farm and attended the common schools. Except for the time spent in the Union Army during the Civil War, he always lived on this farm, and was exceedingly active in business affairs. He raised stock and was an extensive live stock dealer, having transactions with the people throughout his section of the state. He erected a fine home and good substantial outbuildings on the home farm, having one of the most highly improved estates to be found in the township. He was ever active in the affairs pertaining to the development of the community, being especially interested in raising the standard of the schools. He was a friend of the cause of education, and was ambitious that his children be given greater educational advantages than had been his own.
He was an ardent Prohibitionist in politics, and was at one time party nominee for county commissioner, and for the House of Representatives in Pennsylvania. Religiously, he was a member of the United Presbyterian Church at New Bedford.
