Bio
Walter B.B.McNeel Jan 00,1853-March 10,1913 Walter B. McNeel Passes Away The death of Walter B. McNeel at his farm in Rosedale precinct in Lincoln county, March 10th, at 4:00 a.m.,comes with more than ordinary sadness and is indeed a shock to the great host of friends he has in the county and like wise the large list of friends scattered thru-out the state. Mr. McNeel's sickness was something like three or four weeks. The disease with which his physicians were battling with, was diabetis and other complications set in and it seemed there was noway of checking the cruel disease and its demand takes from us one of the noblest citizens this part of the country has. Mr.McNeel came to Lincoln county in 1880 and has lived here since that time on his farm except four years he served as appraiser of Indian lands in the state of Minn., by appointment from Grover Cleveland. Mr. McNeel leaves a family consisting of a wife and seven children. That Mr. McNeel has been a man above the average, always taking a marked interest in Public affairs and his advice often sought and accepted on account of his matured judgment. It is generally known that Mr. McNeel was an applicant for the North Platte postoffice under the new administration and was so liberally supported by all citizens disregarding political lines that it was generally conceded that he would have been named for that place. This makes his death come to us with the unusual blow and the large list of friends who were supporting him. It is always a blow to the community that has to suffer the loss of one of the builders of its commonwealth; such as is the case in the death of Mr. McNeel and not only the large circle of friends in his community will be sad and in mourning but the citizenship of Lincoln county each will join with the other in saying he was a good man and his death is our loss. To the family we commend the sympathy of the public and especially the early settlers of Lincoln county. The funeral will be held at the farm and home of McNeel at 2pm. in central time and he will be buried in the family burying ground. The North Platte semi-weekly tribune., March 11, 1913
