Description	:	Eli Neff My interest in Eli and Nancy Barnes Neff has always been strong. Conrad and Magdalena Weaver Neff, my original Canfield, Ohio ancestors named their youngest son John. John and his wife, Elizabeth Kline Neff, were the parents of Eli, Mary, Martin, Edward, and John. The latter two died in 1836, victims of scarlet fever. I knew quite a bit about Martin, my direct ancestor, and always wanted to know more about his brother, Great Uncle Eli and his wife, Nancy Barnes Neff.

Conrad and Magdalena Weaver Neff, my original Canfield, Ohio ancestors named their youngest son John. John and his wife, Elizabeth Kline Neff, were the parents of Eli, Mary, Martin, Edward, and John. The latter two died in 1836, victims of scarlet fever. I knew quite a bit about Martin, my direct ancestor, and always wanted to know more about his brother, Great Uncle Eli and his wife, Nancy Barnes Neff. In 1898 Dr. Jackson Truesdale, a noted Canfield historian, wrote, "Eli married Nancy, a daughter of Jacob Barnes, and for many years owned and resided on the farms now occupied by Joshua and William Kyle, and likely built the large dwelling in which Joshua resides. Eli, while a resident of Canfield was a stirring money-making farmer and cattle dealer. For some time before leaving Canfield he commenced loaning money with Kansas lands as mortgage security and finally somewhere near 1873 sold his land and other property here and moved to Kansas and engaged extensively in the loaning of money. As a result, word has come back that Eli now owns more land than he can profitably handle. Some of his relatives here place his real estate possessions at from 7,000 to 10,000 acres. Eli is said to have five living children." From Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 8 April 1898 Article No. 6 Eli Neff was born in Canfield Twp, Trumbull Co. (now Mahoning) Ohio. He was married to Nancy Barnes 1 July 1851 by the Rev. Ira Norris of Canfield. Between 1854 and 1868 they had seven children, all born in Canfield Twp, Mahoning Co. Ohio. The family moved to Kansas in 1874. Eli would have been about 53 years old at that time and Nancy, 49. Note: In 1846 one section of Trumbull County and one section of Columbiana County combined to form Mahoning County. NEFF, Eli Husband of Nancy nee BARNES – m. 1 July 1851 in Canfield Twp., Mahoning Co. OH Son of John and Elizabeth "Betsey" Kline Neff B. 23 May 1821 in Canfield Twp., Trumbull (now Mahoning) Co. OH D. 27 Aug 1910 in Middletown, Woodson Co. KS at 89y 3m 4d Burial - 30 Aug 1910 in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Humboldt, Allen Co. KS Humboldt Union, Humboldt, Allen Co. KS, Sat, 3 Sep 1910 Transcribed by Jennifer Neff, 2005 "ANOTHER OLD SETTLER GONE" "Eli Neff died at his home near Middletown, Sunday evening, in the 90th year of his age. He had been in poor health for several months, but could oversee his business on the farm, until a short time before his death. Eli was born in Canfield, Mahoning county, Ohio, May 23, 1821, and came to Kansas in 1872. He purchased large tracts of land on the Verdigris river bottoms. He moved his family to Kansas in 1874. The family resided in Humboldt most of the time, but during the summer season for many years they lived on the Wilson county ranch. Mr. Neff was an active and noted stockman and was widely known over the country. Those who survive him are his wife of this city; one son, O.P. Neff of California; Mrs. H.A. Brown, of Iola; and Mrs. Cora Young and Mrs. George McKinley of Humboldt. The body was brought to his home in Humboldt and the funeral held at the residence at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Burial took place in Mt. Hope cemetery and was attended by many old friends of the deceased and family." Wilson County Citizen, Wilson Co. KS, Fri, 2 Sep 1910 "Monday, August 24, 1910, at 2:00 a.m., of a complication of disease and old age, Eli Neff, aged 89 years. Interment was at Humboldt." Probate Judge's Office in Wilson Co. KS Court House "Neff, Eli w/m 89 retired d 29 Aug at Middleton Bur Coyville senility" Material provided to Robert H. Neff by Wilson County Historical Society from Esther Bagby 14 Nov 1990 - Copy now in possession of Jennifer L. Neff Comment: Date of death varies within sources; Probate Record gives date of Mon, 29 Aug 1910 and Humboldt Union gives date of Sun, 28 Aug 1910. Wilson County Citizen gives date of Mon, 24 Aug 1910, but this could not be correct as Mon fell on the 22nd that year. Family Bible gives the date of Sat, 27 Aug 1910 which is what I (Jennifer L. Neff) believe to be the correct date.
