Andrew Neher was born in Clinton County, Ind., Sept. 15, 1838, and died Jan 1, 1918, at his home in McCune, Kans., aged seventy-nine years, three months and sixteen days. He was married to Elizabeth Wolfe, Nov. 4, 1860. This union was blessed with three sons,–Levi D., Daniel P. and David D., all of whom survive. He also leaves his devoted wife, ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. He united with the Church of the Brethren at the age of nineteen and was always a staunch adherent of her doctrines. In June 1869, he, with his family emigrated to Marion County, Ill. Here he lived in the Romine congregation for 15 years. Soon after locating in this community, he was elected to the ministry. Dec. 27, 1877, he was advanced to the second degree and given the eldership in April 1882. In March 1884, he moved to Cherokee County, Kans., and in 1894 to Crawford County, same state. He had charge of the Osage church until August 1898, when he moved to North Dakota. He helped build the Salem church in North Dakota and gave it its present name. He was overseer of said church until his return to Kansas in 1904, where he lived the remainder of his life. Father had been in poor health for almost three years. During the last three months of his life, he suffered intensely with cancer of the stomach. He was very patient and and bore his affliction with Christian fortitude, often expressing his desire to pass over. A few days before his death as we were all at his bedside, he talked to us about his departure. He told mother he going to heaven and wished he could take her with him. As we watched his life ebb away, impressions were made that we shall never forget. It is such a comfort to know of his unwavering faith in God and His promises. He was a loving husband and father and was widely known and highly esteemed by both old and young. Almost everyone called him "Uncle Andy." His loyalty to the church and his Christian life will preach louder and be remembered longer than his sermons from the pulpit. Short services were held at the home, conducted by Eld. A.B. Lichtenwalter of Columbus, Kans. The body was then taken by the Osage church, where he had spent much of his life in service. At the church, Bro. J. S. Clark, of Parsons, Kans., officiated.
