General Notes: Husband - Maj. John Neff




He settled in Centre County, Pennsylvania, in early manhood, and for some years followed the blacksmith's trade at Potters Mills. Later he purchased a large tract of land in the township on the Brush Valley road near the Harris township line, and engaged in agriculture, but continued to work somewhat at his trade in a shop which he built at the farm. He became one of the wealthy land owners of that locality. As old age drew on he retired from active business and removed to Centre Hall, where he died.
In the Lutheran Church, of which he was a member, he took an active part, while in politics he was one of the leading Democrats of Centre County, and at one time was a candidate for the Legislature.
