General Notes: Husband - John Howard Neely

---

He graduated from Princeton University in 1884, and was given the advanced degree of H. M. by this university in 1887. In July, 1886, he began practicing law at Mifflintown, Pennsylvania.

After pursuing his elementary studies in the common schools of the township, and graduating in 1879 from the Millersville Normal School, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, he prepared for college at the Airy View Academy, and graduated from Princeton College with the class of 1884. During an interval of a few years between his graduation from the normal school and his academic course, Mr. Neely engaged in teaching, and in 1879 was chosen principal of the Hummelstown, Dauphin County, schools, filling that position for two years. After his graduation from Princeton, he taught at the Airy View and Mifflintown Academies. During this time, he read law with Alfred J. Patterson, Esq., of Mifflintown, and was admitted to practice at the Juniata County bar, August 26, 1886. From that time until 1892, he was the partner of his former preceptor, the firm being styled Patterson & Neely. From 1891 to 1894, he served as district attorney.
Mr. Neely was a Democrat, as was his father also, and was active in politics. He was for many years secretary of the borough council. For two years he was one-half owner of the Democrat and Register. He was a member of Union Lodge, No. 324, F. and A. M.; of Newport Chapter, No. 238; and of Lewistown Commandery, No. 26; and Harrisburg Consistory.
