General Notes: Husband - Abraham Markle Neyman
He came with his parents to Butler County, Pennsylvania, during the War of 1812. He remained with his father on the farm in Centre township for a time, but subsequently engaged in keeping tavern on the site of the Arlington Hotel, in Butler. Like his father he was an ardent Whig, and in religion, an adherent of the Presbyterian church.
He kept tavern in a log building where the Vogeley House was later located.
On the 18th of April, 1827, Abraham Markle Neyman, who was then keeping a hotel in Butler Borough, where the Vogeley House would later stand, and his brother-in-law, Parker McCleary, set out in a wagon to bring home Mrs. Neyman and her two children, who had been visiting at the house of John Neyman, the children's grandfather, where the McGrath Mill was later located. Soon after the little party started homeward, and while they were upon the hill, south of the mill, a violent storm arose, and a huge tree by the roadside was hurled crashing upon the wagon and its occupants. Abraham Neyman was instantly killed; a child, about three years and a half of age, received injuries from which death speedily ensued; Mrs. Neyman was stunned so severely that she did not recover consciousness until after her husband and child had been buried, and throughout her life (she died at the age of eighty-three years) she suffered from her injuries, being incurably crippled. Her youngest child, at her breast when the tree fell, which killed father and brother, escaped uninjured, and grew to become Dr. A. M. Neyman. [HBC 1883, 343]
