General Notes: Husband - William Neese

---

As a farmer's son he was reared after the customs of the times, his education being acquired in the local schools, with his uncle, Jacob Neese, as his first teacher. A few years before his father's death, he rented a part of the home farm, and later he purchased the interest of the other heirs, paying them in all over $6,000. Both parents dying about the same time, there were two payments falling due very close together, causing Mr. Neese great inconvenience, but he met the challenge. He owned about 119 acres of fine land, representing a handsome competence, and was regarded as one of the substantial citizens of the township. In the spring of 1895, Mr. Neese retired from active work, and enjoyed in peace the fruits of his past years of labor. He never married.
