"Our kids always liked to go to Aunt Paud's house. She was an excellent cook, and everyone just 'did their own thing.' One day Paud was mashing potatoes when her mixer quit. She went to the garage, returned with Fred's drill, and finished mashing the potatoes. Were the kids impressed!"

Joe Mack WEBB was born on 5 Aug 1930. He married Doris Gene VAN GUNDY on 26 Aug 1951 in Pygott, AR.
Residences & events in his life:
1951 Denver Co. At the time of their marriage he was in the US Air Force, stationed at Lowery Air Base. He served as a tail gunner.
1952 San Antonio, TX. Brooks Air Base was their address when the first son came.
1954 Atwater, CA, while Joe was serving at Castle Air Base, they had their second son.
621 Edgar, Mattoon, IL. Son, Van, would eventually own this house and install a pool in the backyard.
For years he was involved in a meat packing house in Charleston, IL, with his father. They were subjects of a newspaper article and photo while at the Wessex Saddleback Assoc meeting giving a meat cutting demonstration.
Joe and Doris spoiled the entire family while running the packing house. They accepted orders for X dollars worth of meat, rather than for specific cuts and weights. They always considered the size of the family when filling the orders, sending different varieties from order to order, and occasionally throwing in, for free, extra packages of meat they needed to move. Following the plant's closing, no one knew how much meat it took to feed their families nor what cuts to order for daily meals. There was a lot of trial and error before everyone returned to being normal customers.
Later, Joe later bought a gas station and also ran a trucking business in Mattoon, with son, Danny, being one of the drivers.
RR, Neoga, IL. Buying property in the country, Joe and Doris moved a short distance east of Neoga.
RR, Lerna, IL, where Joe bought a farm of about 300 acres.

Our lineage continues with John. History records said he was a prominent and well known citizen. By the standards of the day, John and his family definitely lived a comfortable life.
Residences and events:
1830 Scott Co, IL. He owned a large tract of land of at least 300 acres.
1850 Naples, Scott Co, IL. John had property = $6000/1000 and was a farmer in the census. A Joseph Schultz, farm hand from Germany, was living with them and next door was the Henry Vannier family, related through nieces and nephews who married Vanniers.
3/15/1855 He bought several pieces of land at Naples at auction.
1860 Naples P.O., Scott Co, IL. At census time, he reported his property value the same as in 1850, $6000/1000 and Henry Vannier was still next door. Living in the same township was John's father.
10/11/1869 John and Sarah donated land near Naples to be used for a school with the provision that the property reverted back to them if the school ever vacated the premises. Also in the deed were instructions to school trustees to build a "good substantial Board
fence around said ground."1870 Scott Co, IL. His property now = $8670/1980, Henry was still there next door.
11/13/1873 For $50 John sold all the downed and/or dead standing timber on a 2 acre plot to a Marshall Smith.
1873 Macon Co, IL, Milam Twp, near Decatur. In preparation for moving east with his siblings, John bought 238 1/2 acres in S31 T15N R3E, the same section as brother-in-law, Ellery Merris. However, John and his family did not move there for another couple of years.
1/18/1875 Scott Co, IL, was still their address when they sold 289 acres to Herman Vannier. They probably moved to Macon Co either the past fall or the following spring. The Vannier family passed this same land to descendants of John's brother, Adam, whose later generations still owned it in 1996.
1878 Milam Twp, Macon Co, IL. John was elected County Supervisor, re-elected in 1879. He was a farmer along with his political interests.

3/23/1897 Moultrie Co, IL. John bought county property by warranty deed from son, DW and Laura B, at S22 T14 R5. Perhaps he intended to move nearer the children but never did. It was probably the same land DW got back by warranty deed for $1 on 8/7/1905, about the time John died, being located at the same S22 T14 R5.
1899 Decatur, IL. When the telephone company was reorganized, John was again appointed vice president.

Nimrod was a wealthy farmer and landowner by the time of his death, bequeathing land in 3 counties of 2 states.

1873-5 Moultrie Co, IL.
A Sullivan IL mayor remembered Nimrod:
"(I) greatly admired the intrepid Nimrod Neaves, who showed up in Sullivan during the 1890s.
When he blew into town, you would have taken him for a tramp. But he was as sharp as a steel trap. His wife was a very bright woman and had all the marks of refinement.
The first I knew of Neaves he had bought a good farm a few miles west of town and paid all cash. I was in the abstract business then and I became acquainted with him very soon after his arrival. I never became intimately acquainted with him, so as to know many of his characteristics, but he told me once of his system in buying land, and it shows not only good sense but also his foxy disposition.
He told me that when he was in the market as a buyer of land, he put on his old clothes and appeared to be not only a man of no means, but of little sense as well. He hiked all around the country until he found the farm he wanted, then approached the owner and asked his price on the farm. He let him know that he had but a small amount of money in the bank--say $1,000 to buy a $20,000 farm--but he was expecting enough shortly to pay for it in full. If the owner would sell it to him for his price, he would pay him that $1,000 then and get him the rest in a short time. The owner believed he could get that $1,000 and keep his land, too, for he thought Neaves would never get the rest of the purchase price within the time specified, or within any time. Neaves was a man of considerable means."1/25/1893 Nimrod and Elizabeth transferred property at E 1/2 SE S21 T14 R5 to daughter, Laura Van Gundy, for $1 by warranty deed, probably in preparation to moving further west.
1894 Jewell Co, KS, was their place of residence when Elizabeth died.
3/1900 Formoso, Jewell Co, KS, was where he wrote his will.
Nimrod's will, dated 3/31/1900, was entered into probate in Jewell Co, KS, on 6/1/1900. It stated:

Mary's hospital in Decatur Monday night after an illness of several
months.
An operation was performed on her last fall in the hopes of
aiding her to recover her health but she never rallied."Another newspaper said:
"She had spent some time in a hospital in Decatur during which
practically no hope had been entertained for her recovery. She had
rallied and wanted to return home so she was taken from the hospital.
Recently, strong hopes had gathered that she might fully recover, and
she had been able to be wheeled about in a wheel chair, although it
was known that there was a possibility of a relapse at any
time......As a child she was happy, bright, and carefree, and quick to
form lasting friendships. As a young lady she was charming attractive
and popular, and as a wife and mother she will be sorely missed.
Although her many friends knew of her serious illness, they had begun
to hope, and the sudden news of her death came as a shock."And a third read:
".....For the past year she had been in poor health and about two
weeks ago she returned from Decatur where she had been for six months
in a hospital....."The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 3 PM in the Christian
Church in Sullivan with the sermon by Rev. W.B. Hopper.

"I wasn't around Uncle Dewey very much. Aunt Pauline really had my
respect! In my youth, I was scared to death of her, she could make me
quit crying in a second! In later years on the lake with her and Bill

I have noticed the name Pauline is synonymous with laughter." (Doris
refers to others in the family by that name who also see the funny
side of life.)
