Chicago: Lewis Publishing Co., 1887. pp. 990-991. ISAAC N. NEFF, manufacturer of and dealer in proprietary medicines, is a native of Wells County, Indiana, born in Liberty Township, July 25, 1847, a son of Jacob and Mary (Chapman) Neff, the father born in Rockingham County, Virginia, of German descent, and the mother born in Highland County, Ohio. The father was reared in his native county, and after reaching maturity removed to Highland County, Ohio, and in 1843 located in Highland County, Indiana. He subsequently came to Wells County, and after living for a time in Jackson Township he came to Liberty Township, where he bought forty acres of wild land. After clearing a part of his land he erected a log cabin, to which he brought his wife, whom he had married shortly before. Her parents were natives of Pennsylvania, and were early settlers of Wells County. The father of our subject was a great hunter, and coming to the county when game of all kinds was abundant he made good use of his rifle, and by hunting he obtained his first start in life, and bought his first land. He resided in Liberty Township until 1868, when he removed to Chester Township, living there until his death, April 25, 1883. His wife is also deceased, her death taking place July 14, 1885. He came to Wells County when the country was new and settlers few, but lived to see it changed into a well settled country, with well cultivated farms and prosperous towns and villages. Isaac N. Neff was reared in Wells County, and has always made it his home with the exception of two years spent in Delaware County, at Selma, and was educated in the common schools of his native county. March 27, 1869, Mr. Neff was married to Esther A. Spake, and of the six children born to them four are living: Charlie Denton, Sarah Estella, Bertha May and George Clinton. Mary Wilmetta and Cora Belle are deceased. In 1872 Mr. Neff engaged in the dry goods business at Mount Zion, which he followed six or seven years, but during part of this time he also studied medicine with his brother-in-law, Dr. John A. Morrison, now of Montpelier. He subsequently began the practice of medicine and at the same time attended lectures at Fort Wayne Medical College. After practicing his profession several years he withdrew his attention from his practice somewhat, on account of ill-health. In December, 1886, he commenced the manufacture of proprietary medicines, the American Pain Killer and the King of Consumption, which are sold by agents traveling through the country. The long experience of Mr. Neff has given him a great insight into the virtues of remedies, and his medicines are the result of observations of the effects of the remedies obtained through his studies and while in practice. In his political views he is a Democrat. For three years and three months he held the office of postmaster at Mount Zion, and for one year was assistant postmaster. At one time he owned a dry goods store at Boehmer, Indiana, which was carried on by his cousin, and during that time he was express agent at Boehmer. Mr. Neff is an active and enterprising citizen, and by his fair and honorable dealings has gained the confidence and respect of all who know him.
