Southern Illinois Herald, Carbondale, Illinois, Saturday, April 24, 1897 [page 1, column 4]
Mrs. Catherine NEAL, a former well-known resident of our city, died at 9 o'clock
Saturday night [17 April 1897] at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J. N.
ROBESON, St. Louis.  

Mrs. NEAL’s maiden name was Catherine DODGE.  She was born in Philadelphia, PA,
May 30, 1816, and at the time of her death, was nearly 81 years of age.  She
leaves five children to mourn her death.  They are Mmes. J. N. ROBESON of St.
Louis; Kate KILPATRICK, and Mary ALLISON, of Murphysboro.  Messrs. Ben NEAL of
Dallas, Texas, and Will NEAL of Nashville, Tennessee.  Her husband Benjamin Rush
NEAL, Sr. died thirty-two years ago.

Mrs. NEAL made her home with her daughter, Mrs. KILPATRICK, in Murphysboro.  She
had been in bad health for some time and went to St. Louis a fortnight ago in
hope of improving.  Mrs. NEAL lived a long and useful life and her death casts a
dark shadow of sorrow over a large number of people who knew the good old lady
during her life time.  For many years she was a consistent member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and her entire life was that of a Christian.

Her residence in Carbondale dates back a quarter of a century ago.
