He worked for his father on the farm and was twenty-one years old when he went to Forest County, where he con­tinued with his father until he went into the service during the Civil war. On Aug. 28, 1861, he enlisted from Armstrong County in Company G, 105th Regiment Pennsyl­vania Volunteers, under Captain Freas, and was mustered in at Pittsburgh for three years' service. This regiment, which was attached to the 2d Brigade, 2d Division, 3d Corps, Army of the Potomac, was commanded by Col. A. A. McKnight until his death. Mr. Neese took part with his regiment in the fol­lowing notable engagements: Yorktown, April 5-May 2, 1862; Williamsburg, May 5, 1862; Fair Oaks, May 31, 1862; White Oak Swamp, June 30, 1862; Malvern Hill, July 1, 1862; Bristoe Station, Aug. 22, 1862; second Bull Run, Aug. 30, 1862; Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862; Chancellorsville, May 1-4, 1863; Gettys­burg, July 1-3, 1863; Auburn, Kelly's Ford, Nov. 7, 1863; Mine Run, December, 1863; Wilderness, May 5-7, 1864. On May 6th he was injured, receiving a gunshot wound on the right side of his head, and he was sent to a hospital in Washington, D. C., where he remained for ten days. Thence he was sent to Baltimore, MD, for two weeks, and from there to York, PA, for a short time, until able to rejoin his regiment at Pittsburgh, at which place he was honorably discharged, Aug. 28, 1864. During his service Mr. Neese was captured twice and was home twice on furlough.
Mr. Neese had bought a farm of thirty acres in Forest County, and after the war he bought a tract of seventy-three acres, adding to his possessions as he prospered until he owned two hundred acres. He was actively en­gaged in general farming until his death. He was a useful citizen of his locality, serving a number of terms as supervisor, and he was a prominent member of the McWilliams United Evan­gelical Church, in Red Bank township, serv­ing as treasurer of both Church and Sunday school. Politically he was a Republican. [HAC 1914, 946]
