Read More	Mr. John Neville, for more than twenty years as honored resident of York county and for the past four years residing upon Mr. Haggard's farm two and a half miles north of Wahoo (NE), was struck by an Elkhorn passenger train at a grade crossing beside the farm on which he lived, on Monday afternoon and almost instantly killed. The terrible news reached his hosts of friends in York on Monday evening and carried consternation and grief into many a York county home before midnight. The facts of the accident which resulted in the tragic death of Mr. Nevillle was developed at the inquest are as follows. He was assisting a neighbor near his home in hauling some corn to a ranch across the rail road tracks and had taken a load over after dinner and was returning for another and was approaching the track just as the passenger train was approaching the crossing. Another man hauling corn to the same place was approaching the track from the east and say that Mr. Neville was standing in his wagon driving two teams which were traveling at a trot, that he came to the track with his head held down as though he was in a deep study, that he held this position without looking up or looking to either side until he came upon the track as the team got squarely upon the track the train came from the east running at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour or more and struck the wagon between the front and hind wheels smashing the wagon to kindling wood and throwing the unfortunate man as high as forty feet falling upon his head and shoulders upon the frozen ground some distance from the track. The train was stopped and he was picked up and taken back to Wahoo and the best medical aid in the city was immediately called in. The surgeons found that he was suffering from concussion of the brain and despite all efforts to save his life he expired in about two hours after being struck. The deceased was married over twenty years ago, his wife being formerly Miss Anna Morgan of West Blue, who survived him together with nine children ages from three to nineteen years of age. His aged mother now living in this city as well as four brothers in York county and three sisters mourn his tragic end. The remains were taken to the Catholic Church in Wahoo yesterday morning, the first funeral services as were held and then the body was brought to York accompanied by the stricken family and a number of friends. John Neville was the son of Abraham Neville and Margaret Molloy. The family lived in Lynally Glebe, the townland just west of Charleville Castle in Tullamore, County Offaly Ireland. When Abraham and Margaret left Ireland in 1850 they left 2 sons behind. John was just three years old. John eventually joined the family. His father, Abraham, died in Canada. Margaret and all nine children moved back to the United States. They started purchasing land in York County Nebraska in 1874. John purchased 159 1/2 acres for $5/acre.
