The Nebraska State Journal Sun Jan 21, 1917 Pg 13 1917

   Mrs. Neville, wife of Governor Keith Neville, who came
late Thursday afternoon, accompanied by her children and
her cousin, Miss Porterfield of West Virginia, is at
present busied with the problems incidental to the
establishment of her family in the executive mansion.
   Surrounded by her three children, Mrs. Neville who
when asked about her interest in club work said, "These
have been my club work so far" presents a delightful
picture. Of charming personality, the former Miss 
Virginia Neill of Charleston W. Va., has the least bit
of a southern accent which is pleasing to hear. After
going to North Platte nine years ago as a bride, Mrs.
Neville quickly too place beside her husband in the hearts
and esteem of the people of the city who have been
interested in the family since M. C. Keith, maternal 
grandfather of the governor, went to Lincoln county in
1867, and Judge William Neville, father of Keith Neville,
who died in 1909, moved to the county in 1876.
   The little girls who are six, five and three years of 
age, are not the least interesting members of the Neville
family. Twho have straight "bobbed" hair while the second
has beautiful curls. Coming into the house from outdoors
where they had enjoyed a romp the other morning Mary
Nelson, the eldest, announced for the three that they 
had seen "red street cars and black street cars and all
kinds"  going down the street. Pink, cold cheeks and
chilly fingertips were unnoticed except by their mother
who said smilingly, "My  children are country girls."
   Because of the shortness of the time she has been in
Lincoln and because she has been concerned with family
duties, Mrs. Neville has as yet not given much thought
to later activities. Lincoln people are awaiting a
closer acquaintanceship with the new governor's wife in
pleasant anticipation.
