Newspaper Article York County, Pennsylvania. One Hundred Years Old. (March 12, 1897)
This newspaper article was written when William Neely, Harry Neely's grandfather, reached his 100th birthday. It provides details about his life and his children.
This is a handwritten transcription of two pages from this history of York County. It includes a history of the Neely familiy. Among other things, it provides a lively story of Jane Frew's passage from Ireland to the New World. (Jane was Harry's grandmother.) The transcription was done by Marion Reed Neely, Harry's sister.
