Trade City, PA

He was ex-sheriff, farmer and merchant.

Civil War: he served as second sergeant of company C, second battalion, six months volunteers.

He lived at home until twenty-six years old and was reared to farming on his father's place in North Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where he lived for eighteen years. He obtained a common school education. Settling at Trade City, he engaged in the mercantile business, which he followed for eighteen years and also acted as postmaster. He was always a prominent figure in official circles, held numerous local offices, and in 1897 became sheriff of Indiana County, serving one term of three years, until 1900. He was later supervisor of North Mahoning township. He owned several farms, and residence property in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. He had a fine peach orchard, eight hundred trees, located west of Trade City. His home in that town was built in 1912. Mr. Neal bought and sold considerable timber in his day; one fall he sold 140,000 cubic feet. He became a pilot on the Big Mahoning when fifteen years old, and was familiar with lumbering operations in their various branches, becoming very well acquainted all over the county in this connection and in following his other industrial interests.
He and his wife were active members of the Lutheran Church at Trade City, and politically he was a stanch member of the Republican party.
