"TWO PIONEERS TAKEN: WILLIAM J. NEELY AND NICHOLAS ARNETH
"Each Had Been a Resident in the Community Upward of half a Century"The Grim Reaper invaded two of Negaunee's pioneer homes during the past week, taking William J. Neely and Nicholas Arneth, both citizens who had resided in the community for upward of fifty years.
"WILLIAM J. NEELY
"William J. Neely, whose health had been gradually failing in later years, but whose final illness was but of a couple of weeks' duration, passed away at the family home in Cyr street shortly after the noon hour last Tuesday."Mr. Neely was a native of New York Street (sic), he having been born at Rochester April 7, 1849, but the family removed to Wisconsin soon afterwards and it was there that the most of his youth was spent. Almost immediately upon reaching manhood he came to Negaunee and for a number of years worked in the logging and lumbering business. Following the death of Isaac Johnson, a pioneer lumberman of this district who had established a sawmill on the shores of Teal Lake, Mr. Neely in company with the late Thomas Williamson purchased the mill in 1887 andsuccess fully operated it for about a dozen years. After the closing oft he mill Mr. Neely had not been actively identified with business affairs, though varied interests kept him well occupied until his more complete retirement within recent years.
"On January 12, 1884, Mr. Neely was united in marriage with Miss Bessie Blee, and the widow, together with nine children, survive. The children are Mrs. George Lehman and Mrs. Roy Michelson of Hibbing, Minn.; Mrs. Oscar Hansen, Bessemer; Walter Neely, Kalamazoo, Mich.; the Messrs. William E., James and Elmer Neely and the Misses Ruth and Bessie Neely, all of Negaunee. There also survives a sister, Mrs. Mary Symonds of Oshkosh, Wis.
"Deceased was a brother of the late Benjamin Neely, a pioneer Negaunee business man, who passed away within comparatively recent years. Thomas Williamson, business partner of William J. Neely for a number of years, was stricken with apoplexy while in the Haupt grocery on July 19, 1915.

"Death yesterday followed illness of short duration; Resident here for 50 years."William Neely one of the pioneer lumbermen of the U.P. and a resident of Negaunee district for 50 years died in his home following an illness of about two weeks duration.
"Mr. Neely was born April 7, 1849 in Rochester, New York. He came to Negaunee in the early 70's and spent the next 10 years learning the logging and lumber business. In 1887 in partnership with the late Thomas Williamson he purchased a small sawmill belonging to Isaac Johnson which stood near what is now the infiltration gallery along the south shore of Teal Lake. The sawmill wasoperated until 1898 when Mr. Neely retired from active business life. Many millions of feet of white pine which stood within a wide radius of Negaunee were cut into lumber in the Teal Lake Sawmill.
"Although Mr. Neely had been ailing more or less for the last two years, his condition did not become serious until about two weeks ago. He is survived by a wife and five daughters; Mrs. George Lehman, Mrs. Roy Mickelson, of Hibbing, Minnesota; Mrs. Oscar Hanson of Bessemer and the Misses Bessie and Ruth of Negaunee; and four sons, William, James and Elmer of Negaunee and Walter of Kalamazoo.

They live in different parts of the city and neither had visited the other for some time prior to their illness.
"Dr. Barnett said that they may have contracted the disease by drinking city water. These are the only cases reported. Dr. Barnett said that the water should be boiled before used for drinking. The condition of the water according to the last analysis has improved in the last 10 days."
