  SQUIRE EZRA NEFF
  
  Ezra Neff, a justice of the peace in Reynoldsville for more than 40 years, a
  veteran of the Civil War and one of the most prominent residents of
  Reynoldsville, died Tuesday in the DuBois hospital following a brief illness
  of an obstruction of the bowels. He was 82 years of age.
  
  The deceased was born and reared in Indiana county. He was enlisted at the
  outbreak of the Civil War and served with distinction. He had taken an
  active interest in G.A.R. affairs and was for many years commander of the
  Reynoldsville lodge of the B.P.O.E. and of a number of other fraternal
  organizations. He was a staunch church member, a man whose word was bond and
  who held the esteem of all who knew him.
  
  He was located in Reynoldsville 49 years ago, served as constable for
  several years and was then elected justice of the peace. He had served
  continuously in that capacity since that time.
  
  He leaves his widow and two grandchildren, his only son having died a number
  of years ago.
