Thomas Neff Obituary and Family Listing Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Wednesday, February 17, 1937 Thomas F. NEFF, well known citizen of Fulton county, passed away Tuesday afternoon at his home southwest of Rochester, after an illness of several years duration. Thomas F. Neff, son of David and Mary NEFF was born in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, on September 2nd, 1859. Mr. Neff had lived in Fulton county since the age of 12 and at an early age in life united with the Burton Evangelical church. On March 2nd, 1889 he was united in marriage to Alpharetta BEERY. Four children came to bless this union, two daughters, Mrs. Zella BRUCE, Mrs. Hugh WILSON, of Kewanna; two sons, Dean [NEFF] and Clyde NEFF, of Rochester. Left with the immediate family to mourn the loss of a loved one are three sisters, Mrs. Emma WILDERMOUTH, Mrs. Michael EASH and Mrs. Perry WALTERS. Three sisters preceded him in death. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. All that human hands could do was shown by the loving kindness of a devoted wife and children, but God saw fit to call him to the Eternal City, a place not made by human hands, but by God alone, a place free from pain and suffering. Those left will miss him. The busy hand will empty be, but happy he will be with those gone on before. . . . Funeral services will be conducted at the home of Clyde Neff, Thursday afternoon, two o'clock. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obituaries - 1937 by Jean C. and Wendell C.
