General Notes: Husband - Ira Livingston Neyman

---

He was nineteen years of age when he left the school room to enter upon a business life, and his first employment was in the milling business with his father. After the latter’s death he took charge of his various mills, but finally closing out his milling interests he was for several years thereafter an operator in the oil fields. On the 1st of September, 1864, in Sandy Creek Township, Mercer County, PA, he enlisted for the Civil war in Company D, Two Hundred and Eleventh Pennsylvania Regiment, under Colonel Coulter, and being sent to Pittsburg he was in camp there for thirty days. The regiment was then sent to Painted Rock in Virginia, and thence down the James River to Bermuda Hundred, where Mr. Neyman took part in his first skirmish, and it was there that two hundred of the regiment were surrounded by the enemy and captured, although later the lost field was retaken by them. From there they were sent to near Petersburg to take possession, and Mr. Neyman’s company’s flag was the first that floated over that city. From Petersburg they were sent to Appomattox Court House, and at the close of the war his company took part in the Grand Review at Washington, from whence they were sent to Pittsburg and there mustered out of the service on the 30th of June, 1865.
Returning then to his mother’s home at Clark’s Mills, Mr. Neyman was employed for three years in the saw mill of H. Feathers. Moving then to Sheakleyville he was in the livery business there until he sold his barn to buy a farm one mile east of Sheakleyville. There within the short space of six weeks he completed the erection of his first home, he having cut the timber from the woods to build this little cabin, which was sixteen by twenty-four feet in dimensions, without windows or doors, a quilt serving in place of the former. Shortly after this he left his bride in their new home and went to the oil fields, but returned after two years, and then during a similar period was engaged in the lumber and timber business in New Vernon Township, while the following three years he spent as a farmer. During thirteen years he was then associated with the Enterprise Milling Company at Oil City, and at the close of this period by hard and persistent labor and by the aid of his faithful wife he managed to save sufficient means to purchase a farm of one hundred and forty acres in Sandy Creek Township, where he built a pleasant and comfortable home in which to spend the evening of a long and well spent life. He was a stanch supporter of Republican principles, and served his township as a supervisor. [HMC 1909, 998]
