I find this statement interesting, what of your information are they getting for free and putting on a CD?

I have been a member for about 10 years. You can contact Ancestry.com online or call on the 800 #. I agree about searches. You can still search and find what you want but they give too many option s.

March 4, 1904 Mrs. John F. Neilan Passes To Her Rest Death ends her long and trying illness Had been Confined to her home since October Her last hours were unconscious and she passed quietly into her final sleep-Many will mourn her death. Jane Wilson Neilan, beloved wife of Judge John F. Neilan died at her home at 335 East Wood Street, at 1020 o'clock, this forenoon after a lingering illness, in the 55th year of her age. She had been confined to her room since last October and with the exception of brief intervals continued to steadily decline in health. She was given the best of medical care and attention and was constantly surrounded with the tenderest of loving ministrations but it gradually became apparent that the end was inevitablbly approaching and grief became doubly great in the certainty of impending bereavement and the fruitlessness of hope. Early last Saturday morning Mrs. Neilan became unconscious and her death ensued today, ending the sufferings that she had long so bravely borue in the peace and quietude of painless, dreamless sleep. While many in this city and county were appraised of the gravity of her condition the news of her death occasioned the sincerest expressions of sympathy and sorrow. Jane Wilson Kincaid Neilan was a daughter of Jackson Kincaid, a virginian, by birth and Isabella Hill, a daughter of Robert Hill, who was a pioneer settler of Millville and for years a postmaster and justice of the peace in the village. Mrs. Neilan was born in Carroll County, Indiana near Delphi and came to Millville when she was 12 years old. She was educated in the village schools and continued to reside in Millville until her marriage to Judge Neilan in this city, June 21, 1874, the Rev. Father Hone, a former and well beloved pastor of St. Mary's church officiating at the ceremony. After her marriage she resided with her husband in this city until called away today. Of the union six children were born: Thomas K. and William H.Neilan, who died in infancy and Mary, John F. Neilan jr., Jane and Robert H. Neilan was living at home. Mrs. Neilan was largely related to many in this county and to the descendents of the older families who like her parents, came here years ago. She was a woman of rare tact and grace, of winning ways, of fine common sense and she especially happy in her home life wherein she was ever beautiful. She was a devoted member of St. Mary's church and socities and was ever foremost but unostentations in the furtherence of the church work and interests. She was kind and charitable and devoted to the counsels and companionship of her husband. The funeral party will leave the home at 8 a.m Monday for St. Mary's Church where the requiem high mass will be celebrated at 8:30 a.m. The burial will be in St. Mary's cemetery. The pall bearers will be W.J. Coakley, J.F. Heath, C.E. Mason, J.J Pater, Jos. D. Foster, and John F. Hogan of Detroit.

The Republican News Hamilton Ohio Wednesday, October 9, 1907 Judge John F. Neilan dies suddenly while sitting with family in the library in his home. Well known lawyer and jurist no more Had been in failing health some time Heart-Stroke resulting from Nausea Fatal- Arose by his own efforts to places of influence and honor- Noted for the vigor of his personality- city shocked by his passing Judge John Francis Neilan died suddenly about 6:30 0'clock yesterday evening at his residence at 335 Wood Street of heart failure in the 62nd year of his age. While it was generally known that he was and had been in very precarious health for some time his death was very unexpected and came as a shock to the community. Some months ago he was taken ill with a complication of heart and kidney affection and his life was dispaired of. A specialist was called from Cincinnati in connection with Dr. Dan Millikin of this city but little encouragement could be held out for any permanent recovery. Although in a very exhausted condition Judge Neilan determined to go to Martinsville and did so, remaining there several weeks. The treatment and the waters had a good effect and upon his return Judge Neilan was considerably improved and was able to resuem the practice of his profession. But his health began to again decling and___ ago he went to Martinsville from whence he returned about a week ago. Yesterday evening he ate supper as usual with his family and with several members of the household he was sitting in his library conversing pleasantly when he was seized with a sever attack of coughing. A physician was hastily called but before his arrival the end had come. The weakened heart failed to longer respond under the violence of the seizure and surrounded by loved ones the once indomitable spirit took its flight. Judge Neilan was on the streets for the last time Saturday when he voted at the primary election. About 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning he was seized with a urameic spasm the effects of which were severe. But they passed away although in his weakened condition Judge Neilan continued to remain at home. Yesterday afternoon he was in good spirits and among his callers was the Rev. Father J.H Hyland. While they were chatting together Judge Neilan's daughter entered and asked her father if he felt like eating anything. He said he believed he would like a little Irish moss. It was prepared and served and Father Hyland laughingly asked Judge Neilan how near he supposed the moss had ever been to Ireland. The Judge smiled and said he presumed it had never been any nearer than the rocky coasts of Massachusetts. And thus they chatted on until Father Hyland took his departure. Judge Neilan ate lightly at supper: but when he was seated in the library something he had partaken of failed to agree with him and his food was ejected. It was this paroxism that affected the heart action and death came finally very quietly while Judge Neilan was still sitting with his hands folded on his lap in his chair. The bar association met at 1:30 0'clock this afternoon to take action on the death. John F. Neilan was born in the County of Roscommon Ireland November 18, 1845. His parents emigrated to the United States in 1838 settling in New Haven Conn. In 1857 they removed to Fayette County, Ohio, where they remained until locating in this county in 1866. Mr. Neilan was born of poor parents and received his education after he was twelve years of age. But he was an ardent student, reading on all subjects, until he became one of the best informed men of the community, possessing a fine and well selected library. Mr. Neilan's early life until he reached his majority was that of a hard-working farmer: and like Tom Corwin, the wagon boy, he determined to secure a more advanced education and he abandoned farm work. With characteristic will power and determination he at once set about to qualify himself for the profession of teaching. In 1866 he took up this work and followed the calling for seven years. Being attracted by the law he took up the study of that profession in the office of Stephen Crane and, in 1874 was admitted to the bar. In the same year he served as editor of the Hamilton Examiner, which ws established for the purpose of purifying Butler County politics. "As a writer," says Stephen Cone in his History of Hamilton, "he weilded a pen that cut as keen as a Damascus blade." Mr. Neilan was elected city solicitor in 1877, and served two terms. In 1879 he was chosen county prosecuting attorney and in 1881 was reelected. It is said that he made an excellent prosecutor, trying and indicting more men for capital punishment and convicting more men than any of his predecessors. He was ever fearless in the discharge of his duties. No grand jury during his term of office ever remained in session longer than one week. He examined from fifty to seventy-five witnesses per day. At the general election held November 3, 1896, Neilan was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for a period of five years. He was well equipped for the high position, being an able lawyer and a polished scholar. He ever had the courage of his convictions and few men are possessed of more determination than was he when once his detemination was formed. Judge Neilan was always a friend of higher education. His friend Gov. Hoadley, adopted him on the board of trustees of Miami University for nine years, on which body he served as a member of the executive committee. Judge Neilan is the founder of the Catholic Knights of Ohio, which is a beneficiary organization, with social and fraternal features attached. He was one of the prime movers in securing for Hamilton the Mercy Hospital. He was a democrat but had liberal political and christian views. Judge Neilan was one of the Committee on arrangements and was very active in connection with the city's centennial celebration in 1891. He was a member of the Butler County Bar Association and for some years was chairman of the democratic county executive committee. He was broad in his charity and stood high in his profession. His death will long be regretted. On June 2, 1874 Judge Neilan was united in marriage to Jane Kincaid, daughter of Jackson Kincaid and Isabel Hill Kincaid, then well known resident of this county. Six children resulted from the union of whom Thomas K and William Neilan died in infancy and four survive, John F. Neilan, junior. Mary E. and Robert Neilan of this city and Mrs. W.O Teague of Boston. Mrs. Neilan died about six years ago and last May Judge Neilan was again married to Mrs. Agnes Neilan of Akron, who in addition to the children above mentioned also survives him. Judge Neilan was a man of an essentially aggressive and pugnacious character coupled with finer traits that elicited the admiration of friend and foe alike. He was outspoken, even to the injury of his own interests and he was strong in his fidelity to his friendships. He was a self made man in every respect. In his young days the guiding star of his life was the achievement of an education and he went through the hard rough toil of the farm to secure it. As a farmer boy he was energetic and industrious and as a school teacher he was a good instructor and disciplinarian and a leading figure in the teacher's institues of those days. With his admission to the bar he devoted all of his energies to his profession saving what was required by his political affiliations and he speedily became a potent factor in democratic counsels. He passed trhough many periods on the political waters and made many enemies but more friends. But he discharged his public duties with ability. His code of life embraced his family, his friends, his religion, his profession and his politics with his duty to the community as a citizen and he lived up to it well. Although he left Irelans when a mere infant Juge Neilan was all his life an ardent Irishmen, He took part in the activities of Irish organizations, and his sympathies with the Island of his birth were so intense that they developed a corresponding hatred of England. He presided at a Boer meeting in thei city after the South African War, and referred to England as the "robber nation of modern times." If he had remained in Ireland it is probable that Judge Neilan would have become an active leader of the opposition to the government. His tasks and interests were broad and often unsuspected. At one time he took a keen interest in arctic exploration and bought many works on the subject. In his judicial career the most important thing that Judge Neilan was ever called upon to dp was to name the Board of Control for Hamilton at the time of the passage of the so called "ripper bill." It developed upon him to name the entire city government which he did. No man at the local bar had a more vivid personality and lawyers tell anecdotes of his experiences by the hundred. Judge Neilan's strong intellect was backed by inclinations and prejudices equally strong. And in consequence he was frequently lead into situations that were unusual, interesting and often amusing. He never hesitated to say what he meant, and some of his friends used to hold that under excitement he was given to sometimes saying more than he meant. In the old days of Democratic factional excitement in this county he wa always in the fight, and many of his speeches are still recalled as models of the Philipple type. In the past 40 years no man has been more closely identified with the acitvities of Butler County. Judge Neilan always took a great interest in the public institutions with which he was connected. His friend Governor Campbell, appointed him trustee of Miami University when Governor and Judge Neilan always took a keen interest in its affairs. Mercy Hospital was always an object of his keenest solicitude, and he was a trusted advisor of its management. Court adjourns in respect to dead judge When the common pleas court convened this afternoon Alllen Andrews formally brought to the knowledge of the court the death of the Hon. John F. Neilan and moved that as a mark of respect the court adjourn. Judge Gard said that he had heard of the death of Judge Neilan with extreme regret and on his motion he adjourned court until Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. The Butler County Bar Association at once met with President R.N Shotts presiding to take action on the death of Judge Neilan. On motion of Ben F. Harwitz, a committee of three consisting of Judge Warren Gard, Judge Clarence Murphy and Judge E.A. Beldon was appointed to prepare and present a suitable memorial. On motion of H.L Krauth a committee consisting of H.L Krauth and Judge Ed H. Jones was appointed to make arrangements for attending the funeral which upon motion of W.C Shepherd the bar association decided to attend in a body. On motion of Judge Gard the hour from 9 until 10 0'clock a.m next Monday was set apart as the time to receive the report of the memorial committee and to afford an opportunity for such other tributes as might be desired to be offered. Neilan funeral will be held Saturday morning It was announced this afternoon that the funeral of the late Judge Neilan will be held at the home at __:30 a.m Saturday. Services with High Mass, will be held at St. Mary's church at 9:15 a.m. The services will be conducted by Father Hyland and Shea. The pall bearers will be J.J. Pater, John F. Heath, M.O Burns, W.J Coakley, Chas. E. Mason and John Hogan, Of Detroit.

I did end up going to Hamilton on Thursday. I got up at 330 am after a few hours sleep, woke up and left the house at 430ish or so. I live in Akron so about a 4 hour drive for me. On the outskirts of town there were some old farms that seemed to have been there for a very long time. Like stepping back in time. Then there were new condos and homes. Further on I came upon the city and it was a mixture of old and new. Some of the architecture was really amazing. What it must have been like 100 years ago. Anway, I went to the archives center and Linda Thompson was extremely helpful:) Before I knew it the day was flying by and I had more places to go. I went on to the courthouse and went on a self guided tour. That building is a must see. The woodwork was amazing. The historical coutroom was very neat. I then went on to St. Mary;s cemetery which was in good condition. The grass was mowed and it was generally kept up. Next, it was on to the lane library to do research there. By 930ish I had to leave for home. Family obligations forced me to go right back which was rough. Was home 130ish am or so and was exhausted to say the least. I was however very glad that I had went. I was able to find a lot but of course there were things I forgot or missed. I would have never gotten all that I did withought going myself since the archives center does not have the man power for all that for one person. I will definitely turn to them for small amounts here and there because they were so helpful. Things that I found, naturalization and declaration records, marriage records, death records, wills, probate records One of the probate records was HUGE. It was full of recepts from businesses in early 1900. The milk receipt was even in there. It is so neat to look at those old receipts and see what they bought and how much things cost etc. Anyone who has not searched for probate records needs to. I had no idea they could contain so many cool things. Not all have so much Linda said but any would be neat so to all junior searchers it is a great idea to go to try and obtain these. John F. Neilan's obit was really really neat. I know it is not your family but if anyone is interested in reading it, I will send it. Or maybe it could be put on the Butler site? Names that cross my line Neilan, Teague, Hill, Heath, Goldrick, Vaughn, Stuckey. Coakley, Norman, Loy and others

thanks for trying:) I appreciate it very much. Thomas Neilan was born about 1806 in Roscommon Ir He emmigrated to U.S in 1848 to New Haven CT In 1857 moved to Fayette County Ohio 1857-1866 Thomas farmed, lived in Fayette, Madison and Clarke Counties. 1866 moved to Butler county from Clarke 1870 census lists Paddy's run Ohio in Butler county (at least then) also says Ross Township. Thomas, Sarah, John, Mary and Sarah. No record of Thomas after this census at all. Thought this might help a little Audra

This thread on Hamilton and finding a cemetery was so interesting, I added a link to the archives of the email list on the index page of _http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler) near the top, about Hamilton, with a red car by it. That should help with lost emails, too. Nancy In a message dated 7/18/2006 1:30:26 PM Central Daylight Time, genewill@sbcglobal.net writes: SORRY....I just now noticed that you said you lost the emails that we sent you.

Thanks for the heads-up. It might keep me from looking like a total idiot later. A clue that Audra indicated earlier was that Thomas had a "Paddys Run" mailing address. That, in itself, leads me to believe that there might be record of Thomas between Ross and Scipio, probably on a farm, since it sounds like the background is Irish Catholic. If so, maybe Jill Evans, John Francis, or Tom Stander might have an inkling where he might have been located, if there is nothing being found in the Butler County records. I am told that my grandmother had a son, born dead, buried on the farm, yet there are no records that we have ever found of his existence, and our people have been at Shandon since the beginning, so, good luck searching. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Thompson" <Linda_72@fuse.net> To: <OHBUTLER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 4:15 PM Subject: Re: [OHBUTLER-L] help please > Gene, > > Thanks for the acknowledgement, but I work at the Butler County Records > Center.

Gene, Thanks for the acknowledgement, but I work at the Butler County Records Center. I talked to Audra on the phone on and explained to her what records were at the Records Center and although we could do some look-ups for her, we were not able to do in-depth research as we are not staffed to do that. The one lady that I find most helpful at the Lane Library is Audrey. Most of her Neilan family is in St. Mary's cemetery, but they do not have a record of John's father, Thomas Neilan. He is not at St Stephen's either.

According to Map Quest it is still saying Neilan Blvd. Also an article by Jim Blount in the Journal News on June 12, 2002 entitled John F. Neilan, father and son, served community it says this "Neilan Boulevard, Hamilton's north-south riverside drive built in the 1950's honors John F. Neilan, who contributed more than 40 years service to the community before his death in 1945. " Further on it says "When the 1913 flood divided the city, Neilan was appointed to direct affairs on the West Side, serving as military governor during the crisis. He supported formation of the Miami Conservatory District to protect the area from such disasters. As a lawyer, he worked on behalf of the conservancy in acquiring land for the district." I have another article on this as well, but as to Joe Nuxall Way, I have no idea, just going by what people are telling me and map quest:) Audra
