In April 1872 Abraham Bieber settled on the land now owned by John and lived in a log house where John's residence now stands; he was old and infirm (weak and frail) when he came here and never took a very active part in the exciting scenes incident to the organization of the county such as locating the county seat. He died April 2, 1875. Grandma Bieber died March 3, 1882, and are both buried on the old farm northeast of where John Bieber's house now stands. The old gentleman was the first postmaster at Neighborville but died before his commission arrived; the office was named Neighborville by him. Taken from the Early History of Norton County.
