Joseph Leonard Neves was born in Millville, the son of William and Olive Ann Neves. Because of persecution during the time of polygamy, Joseph's father moved his other family to Wyoming; and Joseph, at age sixteen, was left to care for his mother. He had learned the carpenter's trade from his father, and with study and experience he became proficient at building. He built the old Post Office and the homes of James Jenson and N. H. Monson. He also worked on the Capitol Theater and many church buildings.

On February 12, 1902, he married Susannah Deborah Clifford, the daughter of Benjamin Rush and Susannah Griffin Clifford. She was born on June 9, 1876, in Millville. She died in child birth on October 23, 1907, leaving Joseph with three children. His mother helped raise these children until Joseph remarried.

Joseph married Maggie Clifford on April 28, 1920. Maggie was born in Millville on November 6, 1891, the daughter of Mathew M. and Emaline Sarah Chandler Clifford. Maggie died February 10, 1966.

Joseph was known as an honest, hardworking man by those with whom he dealt. He was Sexton of the Millville Cemetery, and he made many coffin boxes. He was a good LDS Church member and served in many Priesthood callings. He had the first car in Millville.

Children of Joseph and Susannah are: Joseph Vernon, Audrey Emaline Timms, William Alfred, Gertrude Lockman and Susannah Deborah.

Children of Joseph and Maggie are: Bessie Aleene Trolson, Claire Leonard, Naudine Howell, Theo Faye Goodman, Beverley Mozell Gomm, Bartell Lamont, Roese Deloy and Lowell Dewey.
