DEATH OF COLONEL J M NEVILLE Col J M Neville died at the residence of his son, J M Neville, in Bethany, Missouri, February 10, 1907, aged 91 years, 7 months and 15 days. With the mustering out last Sunday of this noble old veteran, Col J M Neville, there passed to the Great Beyond the last of the most remarkable twins in the United States. The other twin, Col H O Neville, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs R H Grinstead, in Ridgeway, Missouri, October 8, 1904. These brothers were born in Barren County, Kentucky on June 25, 1815. They married sisters, Misses Rhoda and Lilly Ann Brooks [wife of James], both of whom preceded their husbands to the spirit land a number of years ago. They moved to Harrison County in 1850, both making this their home until death claimed them. Both were farmers by occupation until retiring from active work. Both of them were active members of the Baptist church for many years and held offices of trust in same. Both were excellent singers. During the Civil War, both were Colonels. J M being Colonel of the 58th Enrolled Militia and H O Colonel of the 3rd Mo Cavalry, M S M. Both had also served as Colonel, at different times, of the 101st regiment, 20th brigade of Kentucky militia, before moving to Missouri. H O Neville was a member of the county court of Hart County, Kentucky, previous to his moving to Missouri, and in 1856 was elected to represent Harrison County in the Missouri legislature. J M Neville was elected as a member of the county court of this county in 1856 and twice represented this county in the state legislature, from 1858-60 and 1880-82. Both were stalwart and influential Republicans. Their descendants number over 125. No better citizens and neighbors and earnest Christians than the colonels have ever lived and it is doubtful if any two other brothers could show such a remarkable record as that made by "the Neville twins".

Peace to the ashes of one of whom it may truly be said: "He has felt the breath of the eternal morning."
