JAMES K. NEAL, who carries
on general farming on an estate of 109 acres, which is
situated on the Brandt and Addison Turnpike Road, in Section
2, Elizabeth Township, is one of the representative
men of his section of Miami County. He was born Jan.
22, 1882, in Elizabeth Township, Miami County, Ohio, and is
a son of James K. and Martha (Savior) Neal.
James K. Neal was born in Miami County, Ohio,
and is a son of James Neal, who had a large
family of children and was an early settler in the vicinity
of Miami City. There James K. Neal went to
school in his boyhood and then worked around on farms until
he married, after which he settled first on a rented farm in
Bethel Township, and later in Elizabeth Township. He
is now retired and resides very comfortably on a small place
of one acre, which he can manage for himself. He
married Martha Saylor, a daughter of Philip
and Jane (Ramsey) Saylor, and they had eight children,
namely: William, Frank, Oscar, Effie,
Samuel N., Clarence, Harry and Rena.
SAMUEL N. NEAL enjoyed excellent public school
advantages in Oak Grove and continued to attend school until
he reached the legal limit, after which he was elected
assessor of Elizabeth Township and served one term. He
then turned his attention to teaching school, and during
vacation time followed the carpenter's trade. After
teaching for three years and three mouths, he settled on his
present farm, renting it from George Crawmer,
and has carried on farming very successfully ever since.
Mr. Neal finds no time hanging heavily on his
hands, for when opportunity does not offer in one direction,
he is able to employ himself to advantage in another.
In politics he is a Democrat and takes an active interest in
township affairs of a public nature.
Mr. Neal was married Nov. 29, 1905, to
Miss Lizzie Crawmer, a daughter of
George and Minerva (Thompson) Crawmer. He belongs
to Lodge No. 406, K. O. T. M., at Tippecanoe City.
Mr. Neal is recognized as one of the rising young men of
his township, well educated, progressive and enterprising.
