General Notes: Husband - Lafayette Neff


He was reared as a farmer boy, receiving such education as the local schools of that time afforded. He married and located at the homestead, but later bought part of the old homestead, where he made his home until March 1, 1883, and then purchased the Peter Durst farm, where he passed away. He was a man of spare build, a hard worker, and always active, notwithstanding a lameness caused by a horse falling upon his left limb. As a farmer he was successful, securing a handsome competence by his able management, and 260 acres of land in excellent condition were left at his death. He was deeply interested in the Grange movement; also in the Democratic party, in which he was a prominent worker, holding various township offices. At one time he was a Lutheran in religion, but he afterward united with the Reformed Church.
