"He Kept Smiling"

The death of Delnor Neighbor at the age of 27 was no shock. He had lived somewhat longer than he had expected to live. His malignancy was fatal from the time of its discovery a few years ago.

But what he was able to do with his life while awaiting its premature end became one of the warmest wonders of this community. He won the hearts of his teaching associates at South High School. He earned the admiration of the school district. He was an example to all his old and new friends, and inspiration to everybody who heard about him.

They showed their gratitude by the generoisity of their help to him and his family. They felt they owed to him everything they could do because he kept smiling through one of the grimmest ordeals a young man could face. He taught them how a brave man dies.

Jacob Neighbor
March 1919, Newcomerstown News

Last week the News made a brief mention of the death of Jacob Neighbor, which occurred at Grant hospital, Columbus, early Tuesday morning, Feb. 18, following an operation held about a week previous.

While the nature of Mr. Neighbor's last illness seems to be a matter of conjecture, it is known to have been greatly aggravated by a hard fall from a horse about a year ago. Since that time his ailment grew rapidly worse until an operation was advised as the only possibility of saving his life. On account of age and general conditions, however, he could not stand the shock and death resulted.

Mr. Neighbor was the last of a family of eight children, only four of whom lived to maturity, born to Jacob and Susanna Neighbor, early pioneers who came here from New Jersey. He was born March 6, 1844, and was nearing his 75th birthday.

The pioneer blood of his sturdy ancestors ran true in his veins, marking his life as one of ceaseless toil, careful judgment and conscientious dealings with his fellow men. He could have left no grander monument to his name than the universal respect his life commanded from those who knew him.

Jacob-Neighbor was married Sept. 20, 1870 to Jane McFarland, also of pioneer birth, who bore him four children. John A. died in 1904 from injuries received where he was kicked by a runaway horse. The wife and mother, together with the following children, survive: Theo C. of Hutchison, Kans., Alvin 0. of Bolivar and Mrs. Anna Keiser of this city.

The deceased was an honored veteran of the Civil War. He enlisted Feb. 19, 1863, at the age of 18 years with the 51st 0.V. I., serving until the close of the war. It was particularly fitting at his funeral that the pallbearers were composed of young men of the great World War, all in uniform, just recently returned from service. They were Hugh Macmillan, Earl Smith, Harry Fletcher, Lloyd Ley, John Wilson and Carl Neal.

Funeral services were held at the home of the daughter, Mrs. J. E. Keiser, on North Goodrich St. last Thursday afternoon conducted by Rev. A. E. Blick, pastor of the M. P. church, assisted by Rev. M. L. Oliver, pastor of the U. B. church and life-long friend of the deceased. A large concourse of neighbors and friends were in attendance to honor the member of a worthy citizen. Interment in local cemetery.

Keiser, Good- rich St., where she had made her home since the death of her husband, Jacob Neighbor, several years ago. Her death was due to infirmities of age.

She was born Dec. 2, 1842, north of Newcomerstown, the daughter of the late Ezekiel and Isabel McFarland. She united with the M. P. church in early life, and was the oldest member in age of the Newcomerstown M. P. church.

Surviving are two sons, Alvin of Canton and Theodore of Hutchison, Kans.; the daughter, Mrs. Keiser, at whose home she died; a brother, John McFarland of Monrovia, Kans.; a sister, Mrs. Hannah Davis of Bakersville, eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held Sunday at 2 p. m. at the M. P. church, conducted by Rev. C. E. Jeffers. Burial was made in the local cemetery.
