Aged Monmouth Resident Dead
David Neher, at the age of 82 years, 7 months, and 11 days, died at his home in Monmouth about midnight Friday. While he had not been feeling well, his condition had not been considered serious, and he had been up and about as usual. For many years had made it a practice to come to McCune every Saturday. The Saturday before his death was no exception. He had been coming over with a traveling man who had changed his route, and did not make it to Monmouth that day. However, he started out on the road afoot, and after walking over a mile was given a ride into McCune.
The funeral services in charge of the Gregg Funeral Home, were held at the Osage Church of the Brethren Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev. W.E. Babb, pastor of the First Christian Church of Girard. And Rev. D.P. Neher of the Osage church. Burial took place in the Buxton (Osage Brethren) cemetery.
Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Miss Bernice Wylie, Mrs. Helen Morrison, John Mohler, and Leonard Kays, with Mrs. Kenneth Millard accompanist. Pall bearers were: Floyd Tewell, Henry Neher, Eli Neher, Ruby Neher, Lester Bennett and Lester Barlow.
Mr. Neher was born near Lafayette, Indiana, June 29, 1850. He was of a family of twelve children and all have preceded him in death except the youngest brother, Josiah Neher of Nampa, Idaho.
When a young man he went with his father's family from Indiana to LaPlace, Illinois, at which place he was married to Christena Alexander July 28, 1870. To this union seven children were born, four sons and three daughters. Three sons and one daughter died in early childhood. The children who together with their mother survive are: M.A. Neher of Monmouth, and Mrs. Maggie Tewell and Mrs. Mary Goldie Overley of Girard.
He joined the Church of the Brethren while quite young, and was affiliated with that church the remainder of his life.
Mr. And Mrs. Neher, with their two small sons, came to Kansas in the fall of 1878, the same year the Osage church was organized. He was a member of the first board of trustees and served in that capacity for a number of years.
In this early day the country was new, and he and family lived through many of the hardships of pioneer days. They first located near Girard. The next year they bought the farm now owned by Mrs. Buxton three-fourth's mile east of Osage church. It was while living on this farm that he and his father donated to the Osage church the tract of land now known as the Buxton cemetery (Osage Brethren today).
Later they moved to a farm one half mile north of the Osage church which was the family home for almost thirty-five years. About five years ago when his health failed, he and Mrs Neher moved to Monmouth to be close to their son and family in their declining years.
Besides the brother, three children and companion, he is survived by six grandchildren and twelve great grand children and many other relatives and friends.
