Mrs. Jonas Neff, daughter of the late John Steele and sister of Jesse Steele, died at her home west of here on Friday morning last, of heart trouble. Mrs. Neff had been quite ill for a month prior to her death. She leaves a husband and four sons and one daughter-Emanuel, Albert, Lafayette and Jonathan Neff, and Mrs. Daniel Johnson of Toronto. All the family were at home at the funeral, John coming from Trout Lake, Mich., to the obsequies. Deceased was born in the township and her death is sincerely mourned by many friends outside the family circle. The remains were buried at Overholt’s on Sunday afternoon, a large number attending. The service was conducted by Bishop Near, deceased having been a member of the Mennonite church. The kindness of friends and neighbors is thankfully acknowledged.
