Obituary

MRS. B. H. NEAL PIONEER CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTY, DEAD. Leaves 7 Children, 48 Grand Children And 11 Great-Grandchildren

Mrs. B. H. Neal, wife of Dr. B. H. Neal, died at the family home in the northern part of the county Tuesday night after a short illness and was buried in the Lutheran Cemetery at Frelsburg Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The funeral service was preached by Rev. J. T. Tracy, pastor of the local Methodist Church.

Mrs. Neal was born in Birmingham, England, on the 31st of March, 1828, making her 92 years and 5 months old at the time of her death. She was married in August of 1872 to Ben. H. Neal. In the year of 1856 Dr. Neal came to America in search of an older brother who had fitted out a sailing vessel and started for California around the Horn. When he arrived here it took a year to make the search and his brother was never found. He then decided to remain in America and sent for his wife. She arrived some time in the year of 1858 and they settled in this country.

Dr. and Mrs. Neal were married 68 years and she was the mother of 12 children, two sons and ten daughters. One son and four daughters are dead. She is survived by one son, six daughters, 48 grand children and 11 great-grandchildren.

Dr. and Mrs. Neal and all of the children were raised in the Episcopal Church and have been faithful members of the same throughout life. They became members of St. John's Church of Columbus in 1865 and have been faithful members ever since--fifty-five years of service to God in this community.

Mrs. Neal was never sick but one time before in her life. That was during the civil war. While Dr. Neal was fighting in the Confederate army she had a severe attack of typhoid fever.

Mrs. Neal was loved by every one who knew her and she was known throughout the county. She and the doctor have a large circle of friends who mourn the loss of a real friend.--Columbus Citizen.

Mrs. Neal was the mother of Mrs. W. F. Taylor of the Osage section, a lady well and favorably known throughout Colorado county, and her death is deeply and sincerely deplored by all. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved relatives and friends.
