General Notes: Husband - John Neely

---

From the age of three until his death at nearly four score years, he lived on the "old homestead," one of the most productive and beautiful farms in the region. He was educated in subscription schools, his intelligent and painstaking study enabling him to derive much benefit from them, in spite of the very limited advantages they afforded. The same diligence characterized him throughout life, and was applied to his business concerns.

While he required obedience and faithfulness from his children and employees, he was no less exacting towards himself. He was frugal and economical, but not parsimonious; his children were not denied the benefits of a liberal education, nor was any who sought help from him in time of need sent away empty-handed. He was devoted to his family, true and constant in friendship, and faithful to his church. Like his ancestors, he was a Presbyterian, a life-long member of the Middle Tuscarora church.
