PHILIP NEEF DIES AT HOME

Prominent Farmer Is Survived By Wife And 2 Sons

Philip Peter Neef, prominent Cooper County farmer, died at his home eight miles west of Boonville about 5 o'clock this morning. He had been in failing health for some time but had been very ill since Sunday.
No funeral arrangements have been made.
Mr. Neef is survived by his wife and two sons: Carl A., who lives about three miles west of Boonville, and John H. of the home.
Philip Peter Neef lived in Boonville township all his life. He was born May 13, 1857, the son of Jacob and Elizabeth Neef, natives of Germany.
He was but seven years old when his father was killed at the battle of Boonville. Early facing responsibilities and labors unusual for the average boy, he stuck to the farm. In 1882 he bought 85 acres, a part of the farm on which he died, and there established his home in a log cabin, clearing the ground of stumps. He added to his land holding throughout the years.
On December 28, 1879, he was married to Julia C. Huth, who also was born in Boonville township.
At "Riverside Farms" Mr. Neef gained a reputation as a farmer and stockman.
