GARRISON, NEVILLE "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, February 22, 1904 HAD LIVED THERE FIFTY YEARS. Dr. G. W. NEVILLE, a resident of Wyandotte county for half a century, died Saturday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Abraham GARRISON, at Bethel, eight miles west of Kansas City, Kas. He was in his eighty-second year, having been born at Lexington, Ky. on June 17, 1822. He suffered a stroke of paralysis about six weeks ago, and this, with Bright's disease and other complications due to old age, caused his death. Dr. NEVILLE came West in 1854, after having graduated from a medical school in Louisville. He lived for a time in Jackson county, Missouri, and then moved to Wyandotte county. At that time the country was in the midst of the border warfare between residents of the states of Missouri and Kansas. Dr. NEVILLE was a "free state" advocate. He was a Union man during that war, but did not join the army, remaining at home and passing through the guerrilla fighting of the period. After the war he commanded a body of 200 soldiers which routed the James YOUNGER gang in a battle fought in the Sni hills. He followed his profession as a practicing physician and served one term as county coroner. Dr. NEVILLE was also an ordained Baptist minister. His wife died about a year ago and he is survived by four daughters. Dr. NEVILLE was a typical Southern man, quick to resent an insult, and known for his bravery. He carried to his death a bullet which he received in a duel with another physician in Kentucky. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Presbyterian church at Bethel. Burial will be in the cemetery there. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)
