JESSE L. NEIL DIES CHRISTMAS

Jesse Leander Neil, pioneer resident of southern Oregon, died from a heart
attack early Christmas morning at his home, the old Neil ranch south of
Ashland. He was 86 years of age. 

Mr. Neil was the son of Leander Neil, who was prominent in southern Oregon
as a stockman before his death, having owned a large stock ranch in the
Dead Indian district. With his brother, the late Elmo Neil, Jesse inherited
the home ranch at his father's death, and had been operating it many years. 

He leaves his wife, Kathryn, and a small daughter, Joan Augusta, but no
other close relatives in southern Oregon. His two sisters, Angie and Edna
of New York, now married, are well known in Ashland. 

Funeral services will be conducted at Ashland Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at the
Will Dodge chapel. B. P. O. Elks lodge, of which Mr. Neil was a member,
will be in charge.
