Morganton

Mrs. J. A. (James Allen) NEAL, whose illness has been mentioned from time
to time, passed away March 31.  She submitted to an operation on Wednesday
before her death.  She is survived by her husband, her aged mother,
Mrs. A. E. (Angelette TURNEY) THOMAS, and six children.  All were at her
bedside when the end came except one son, who lives in Johnson, Ark., but
reached here in time for the funeral.  She is also survived by several
brothers and sisters.  Mrs. NEAL was a loving wife, a kind mother and a
friend to all.  She was loved by all who knew her and will be sadly missed.
Mrs. NEAL was the writer's mother-in-law (note: no name mentioned), but was
more like a mother.  Burial was in the Colony cemetery among a host of
sorrowing friends and relatives.  Funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Wesley WOOD.

Additional Clipping:

We were surprised last Thursday night when about 8 o'clock at night Archie
TIPTON and Prof. GRIFFIIN of Morganton came in and asked us to go to Morganton
to conduct the funeral of Mrs. Amanda NEAL, wife of J. A. NEAL, an old boyhood
friend and neighbor.  We have known Mrs. NEAL practically all her life and her
husband from early boyhood.  She was the eldest daughter of good old Doctor
THOMAS, an old pioneer doctor and local preacher of that county, whose memory
we all revere.  We leave the further details of her death to the Morganton
writer.  May God bless all.

Addtional Clipping:

Mrs. Pearl WILLIAMS of Alder Branch received the sad message on last Thursday
that her sister, Mrs. Mandy NEAL of Morganton, had passed away from an operation
for appendicitis.  We had only met Mrs. NEAL once or twice, but have heard her
often spoken of as being a woman of high qualities.  We extend our deepest
sympathy to those who are sad.  She leaves a husband and children; an aged
mother, Mrs. Ann THOMAS; five sister, Mrs. Lucy JOHNSON of Morganton, Mrs.
Minnie HANCOCK of Dallas, Tex., Mrs. Maud BROWN of Morrilton, Mrs. Mary CAPLINGER
of Fordyce and Mrs. Pearl WILLIAMS of Quitman, and four brothers, Marvin
THOMAS of Central, N.Mex., Frank THOMAS of Oklahoma; James THOMAS of Little
Rock, and Bob Thomas of Morganton.
