DEATH OF JOHN NEAL
 
Payette Valley Pioneer
 
Many a heart was saddened Sunday morning, 10 o'clock, May 17, when the final 
summons came to John Neal to answer the last roll call.  Deceased was born 
December 25, 1836 at Little Rock, Arkansas and in '59 was married to Miss 
Martha Smith.  During the Civil war they removed to Colorado and he entered 
the country's service, broken health compelling him to return home.  In '73 he 
came with his family to New Plymouth and has lived continuously in Payette 
Valley until his death at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. M. Williams, of 
Fruitland.
 
Two and one-half years ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis and has been in 
failing health since that time.  Just two years ago his faithful wife Martha 
passed away on the same day with less than 21 hours difference.
 
He leaves to mourn his loss, two sons, Isaac Neal, of Emmett, and Johnny Neal 
who lives on their old homestead near New Plymouth and five daughters, Mrs. 
Ritchie, of Cambridge, Mrs. Youtsler, of Nyssa, Mrs. Clement of Notus, Mrs. 
Williams, of Fruitland and Mrs. Branham, of New Plymouth, also a step-son, W. 
C. Langley of Auburn, Wash.
 
Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday at eleven o'clock conducted by 
Rev. P. M. Smock, of the Baptist church of New Plymouth of which church 
deceased was a member many years, having been a charter member of the Baptist 
church of Payette.  He was also a member of the G.A.R. of Caldwell, a number 
of the veterans coming for the funeral, and of the I.O.O.F., of New Plymouth, 
who had a part in the simple but impressive services.  Interment was made by 
the side of his wife in Park View Cemetery,(sb Applegate-Kennedy Cemetery) New 
Plymouth.  Many mourn the departure of this aged pioneer whose life of simple 
dignity was an open book.  Beautiful floral offerings being sent as tributes 
to a nobel life and a true friend.
