    EDWARD CLOYD NEELY, M. D. Although among the youngest practitioners of
  Cumberland county, Pa., Dr. Neely stands out conspicuously on account of his
  ability and pleasant, genial manner. He was born in Juniata county, Pa., July
  31, 1874, a son of John and Margaret (Ewing) Neely, the former of whom was
  born in Juniata county about 1828, and died Feb. 14, 1___ on his old farm. The
  mother was born in Center, Perry county, Pa., in 1830, and is still living,
  making her home in Juniata county. Her father was William Ewing.
  
    Dr. Neely was reared like many farmers' boys upon the farm, attending the
  district school whenever occasion offered, but he was different from some in
  that an ambition burned in his breast, and he struggled to qualify himself
  for the profession he had already chosen. In order to secure the necessary
  literary education he went to school at Academia, Juniata county, and later
  attended one in Path Valley, where he prepared for college. He then began his
  study of medicine under the tutelege of Dr. James G. Hedding, of Academia, and
  was graduated from the Medico-Chirurgical College at Philadelphia in the class
  of 1898. After graduation he settled at Newville, Cumberland county, where he
  has built up an excellent practice, and he is a great favorite with all
  classes.
  
    Dr. Neely is a member of the Cumberland County Medical Society and the
  American Medical Association, and fraternally, is a member of Big Spring
  Lodge, No. 361, A. F. & A. M.; of the I. O. O. F., Lodge No. 371; of the
  Royal Arcanum, Big Spring Council, No. 1610, as well as of the Patriotic Sons
  of America, Neni Camp. Dr. Neely is unmarried.
