WAS AN EARLY PIONEER
NEVILLE REDMON DIES AT THE OLD HOMESTEAD
HAD LIVED THERE FORTY YEARS
The Decedent Was One of the First Settlers in America Township and
Built the First School House There--Leaves Many Descendants
Neville Redmon, one of the oldest and best known of the early pioneers
of Plymouth county, died at his home in America township on Thursday night
at half past ten at the ripe old age of eighty-five years. Mr. Redmon had
been in feeble health for the past few months and had not been off the farm
since last spring. His death was due to the infirmities of old age.
The passing of Mr. Redmon marks the removal of another sturdy pioneer
from the ranks of the old timers who are fast disappearing. He lived for
forty-five years on the place which he homesteaded and the Redmon place and
school house are landmarks in the county.
Neville Redmon was born in Jackson township, Brown county, Ohio, on
November 30, 1828 and was a son of Alfred and Mary Pickerell Redmon. His
grandfather, Alfred Redmon, was of English descent. When Neville was a boy
of five years old his parents moved to Hamilton county, Indiana, and there
he received a common school education. When a youth he learned the
carpenter trade which he followed for a number of years. Mr. Redmon was
married in April, 1849 to Nancy Jane Keyst, who died five years later,
leaving two sons who are Alfred, of Omaha, and Lafayette D., of Avoca, Neb.
He was united in marriage with Lucretia L. Stanton March 31, 1857, who was
the mother of nine children, who are Mrs. Henry Liesinger, of America
township, George Redmon, of Pipestone, Mrs. A. Demaray, of Jackson, Neb.,
Will of Bonesteel, J. G. Redmon, LeMars, Douglas, residing on the home
place, Mrs. Etta Corkins, Woodstock, N. Y., Mrs. Bertha Fowler, of LeMars,
Mrs. Archie Tucker, of this county. He also leaves twenty-four
grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. On June 29, 1886, his second
wife departed this life, aged forty-nine years. On August 27, 1887, Mr.
Redmon was united in marriage with Mary B. Robinson, who survives him.
From Indiana Mr. Redmon went to Fillmore county, Minnesota in 1856. He
came to Plymouth county in the spring of 1868 and homesteaded land in
section thirty-two, where he resided until his death. Mr. Redmon lived in
the rough and ready days of the pioneers and underwent the hardships and
vicissitudes which befell the early settlers. He was wont to recall the
times when winter blizzards raged and the wolf howled at the door and it was
no small job to procure enough for a large and growing family. While
homesteading Mr. Redmon worked at his trade of carpenter and built many of
the houses in those days. He built the first school in America township.
Mr. Redmon and his family prospered when the country began to be developed
and settled up and he reaped the reward of his labors and lived to a good
old age in affluence and surrounded by his sons and daughters, his chiefest
pleasure being in the family gatherings for which his hospitable house was
noted.
Mr. Redmon was a good citizen, neighbor and friend, a loving father and
husband and enjoyed the respect of a large circle of acquaintances in the
community in which he has been a central figure for so many years.
Mr. Redmon was a member of the Masonic order. In politics he was an
independent republican. In early days he filled the offices of justice of
the peace and township trustee.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the First Congregational
church, Rev. J. L. Blanehard, of Cherokee, officiating.
