O.P. NEFF PASSES AWAY [Homer]
Miss Nannie Neff and Mrs. Meta White received word Thursday of the death of 
their father; Mr. O.P. Neff at Los Angeles, Calif. Mr. Neff was postmaster of 
Buffalo in an early day, leaving here more than thirty-eight years ago. He has 
been a resident of California since 1902. Two weeks ago Mr. Neff fell and 
fractured his hip and never recovered from the injury. He was 83 years of age. 
Other children who survive are: Omer Neff Jr., of Palo Alto; Eli Neff, Los 
Angeles; Mrs. Dr. L. G. Jones of San Diego, Calif., and George Neff of Kansas 
City.

A letter to the editor from Dr. Jones, O.P.’s son-in-law:
Buffalo Blade, 26 March 26, 1937
Dear Editor, Just a few lines to say through your paper that wife’s father, 
O.P. Neff, known to many old timers in and around Buffalo, passed to his 
reward, March 15, 1937, at the advanced age of 89 years. He had been ailing 
for some time, got better and was up and around but unfortunately, he fell and 
broke his left leg near the socket, was taken to the hospital and his leg put 
in a cast but his age was against the process of healing and he quietly fell 
asleep about midnight March 15. Grandpa Neff had many amiable qualities, a man 
of quiet habits unassuming, a good neighbor, a good father and a friend to 
all. The world could well afford to lose many worse men than O.P. Neff.
Sincerely, Leva G. Jones

Comment: Jennifer Neff, 2003
I believe O.P. [Homer/Omer]] was born in 1854 so he would have been 83 years 
old at the time of death. It is documented that his parents were married in 
1851. It is also known that he was the oldest child. The next child, in birth 
order, was Selby Neff and it is documented that he was born 2 Oct 1856.

No Burial place for O.P. is mentioned, his wife was buried at Buffalo cemetery 
in Buffalo, Wilson Co. KS
