MARSHALL NEY'S SON
Dr. E. M. C. Neyman of Salem, Indiana
Salem, Indiana, January 4-Dr. E. M. C. Neyman, an old and quite historic
celebrity, died at his home, Saltillo, Washington County, of old age. Had
he lived until February 28 next he would have been 101 years old. He was
born in Paris, France, 1808.
Dr. Neyman claimed to be the son of Napoleon's most trusted general,
Marshall Ney. He came to this country in 1842 where he has since resided
and was engaged in the active practice of his profession until some ten
years ago when he retired.
While he was extremely reticent about most matters connected with his
history, he confirmed in many particulars the investigations made by the
Rev. Dr. James Weston of North Carolina as to the identity of Peter Ney, a
school teacher who was generally believed to have been the famous French
field marshal who had been saved from execution by the Duke of Wellington
and allowed to escape to America.
It is known that Dr. Neyman had preserved many documents that he regarded as
of great value and that he guarded with the utmost jealousy. He said, at
times, that these would be made public after his death and that they would
disclose historic data of immense value and importance. Among other things,
it is believed that the authorship of a life of Napoleon Bonaparte, a small
volume printed at Salem, Indiana, in 1818, by Patrick E. Booth, will come to
light.

SUIT FOR $200,000 BROUGHT AGAINST LEADING MAN OF SALEM, INDIANA, FOR SOCIAL
OSTRACISM
Indianapolis, December 3-The trial of the suit of D. A. Jennings, now of
Ohio, against Eli W. Menaugh of Salem, Indiana, and others of that city for
$200,000 damages began in the federal court today. Jennings alleges he was
the victim of organized persecution and ostracism in Salem and driven from
the community. He was publisher of the Salem Democrat and later of the
Searchlight, and for nine years was in more or less strife. In 1900 he
moved to Ohio and began suit. Among the defendants are the sheriff of the
county, judge of the circuit court, prosecuting attorney, postmaster and
others.

French Lick, Indiana-The officers and members of the First A. M. E. Church
of French Lick regret very much to hear of the sad news that our beloved
presiding elder, Rev. Pettiford, was called from labor to reward. It was at
this place that Rev. Pettiford broke down from working too hard and was
compelled to stay here and rest for ten days and drink the water. While
here, he made many friends; and all who met him seemed to love him and
offered consolation and comfort while he was sick here. We truly believe he
was a Christian gentleman and one sent by the Lord to preach His word to
dying men. Rev. Pettiford while serving as presiding elder, did all in his
power to please the people in his district. After the annual conference,
this place was without a pastor. He came and saw the condition, and it was
through his wise council that we now have our pastor, Rev. M. Lewis whose
exemplary life guides us in the way of spiritual betterment. The church
extends sympathy to his family and our prayers shall be, "God, take care of
them for the good and faithful servant who has gone to rest."

Randi Richardson, "The Bond Family of Color in Orange and Lawrence
Counties," Indiana Genealogist, December 2012, pp. 44-47.
Some time ago I sent an item to the IN-South-Central Rootsweb list about
John Bond, the subject of an article published in the Logansport (IN) Pharos
in 1891. As you may recall, John vowed never to get out of bed if his
mother moved the family from Orange County to Lawrence County. His mother,
in fact, did move the family and John was true to his word. At the time
of the article, 27 years after the family's move, he had been out of bed
only once, and that was the occasion of his mother's death. By then his
muscles had atrophied and he was crippled.
Because I was curious about John and his family, I did some research and
compiled my findings into an article. That article appears in the current
issue of the Indiana Genealogist, a member's only publication. If you are
not a subscriber to the publication, you may be able to access the article
through your public library. Noted below are the names of those individuals
mentioned in the article:
