Rev. L. P. Neese died at his home here Monday night at 1 o'clock after a

health has been an active member ever since.  During his young manhood he did 
much hard work in the mountains of north Georgia.
He has held many important places during his long ministerial career and has 
always been an active, earnest and zealous worker for the Master.  He was for 
awhile pastor of Asbury church, in Atlanta.  His devoted wife, who, with five 
children, two sons and three daughters, survive him, was Miss Missouri McLeod, 
of Swainsboro, Ga.  He has several brothers and sisters living in the counties 
of Polk, Milton, Franklin and Gwinnett.  His brother, Mr. Pierce Neese, a 
prominent business man of Buford, was with him when he died.
The funeral and burial of Rev. L. P. Neese was conducted this afternoon by Dr. 
Heidt, of Athens, assisted by Revs. Foote, Seals, England, Green and Bell.  The
