Judge Absolem Neptune is dead He died last evening (Feb. 24) at 7:10 o’clock, at the home of his son, J.B. Neptune, who resides in New Home Township, near No. 1 mine, at the age of 86 years and 3 days.

Three children were born to this union, viz: Mrs. E. J. Handley, Miss Ada Nep- tune and Mr. J. B. Neptune. Of these only the last two survive. There were also 18 grand-children, of whom 14 survive. Absolem Neptune came to Missouri in 1869, locating on a farm just a little southeast of Rich Hill, where he resided till comparatively a few years ago, when he moved with his son and family to New Home Town- ship. ] He was a farmer all his life and an excellent man and neighbor.
