Man killed when vehicle flips twice
----------
The accident occurred about 6:10 p.m. near County Road 125E.* [*Submitter’s Note: I am not positive that this number is correct. It was difficult to read on my copy of the obituary.] The jeep was traveling northbound on County Road 150E when it met a vehicle coming from the other direction, reports said. A tire on the jeep dropped off the road, and Neeb lost control of the vehicle. The jeep flipped over, crossed the road, went down an embankment and came to rest on its wheels on the south side of County Road 150E, reports said.
Witnesses in a vehicle traveling behind the jeep told police the vehicle rolled over twice. Reports said there was a strong odor of alcohol on the breath of Jan Neeb. A blood test was sent to the Indiana State Police laboratory to determine Neeb's blood-alcohol level, reports said. Assisting at the scene were the Shelbyville Fire Department and the Shelbyville-Shelby County Emergency Ambulance Service. The fatality was the second in Shelby County since the beginning of the year, according to the state police.
Born in Shelby County Oct. 28, 1941, he was a son of Harold and Edna Mabel (Baker) Neeb. Mr. Neeb had lived in Indianapolis for three years. Prior to that, he had lived in Shelbyville and Waldron. For three years he had been a supervisor at the Action Steel Co., Indianapolis. His memberships include the Blue Ridge Christian Church and the Indianapolis National Guard.
Survivors include his parents, Shelbyville; two sons, William Ray Neeb, Flat Rock, and Tony Alan Neeb, Waldron; a daughter, Natalie Ann Neeb, Shelbyville; three sisters, Mrs. Ann McVey, Waldron; Mrs. Nancy Gilcrest, Lexington, N.C.; and Mrs. Linda Beach, Waldron; five brothers, Charles Neeb, Shelbyville, Richard Neeb, Rushville, Raymond Harold Neeb II, Indianapolis, Ronald Hugh Neeb, Shelbyville, and Pete Neeb, Shelbyville; and two step-grandchildren.
Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Glenn E. George Funeral Home, St. Paul, with the Rev. Leroy Reed officiating. Friends may call at the funeral home from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday. Burial will be at the Blue Ridge Cemetery.

The Shelbyville Republican
November 19, 1897
----------
Uncle Peter Neeb died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Hill, near Prescott, Monday afternoon at the ripe old age of 101 years and two months. The Republican has had much to say concerning the life of this remarkable man. When he reached the century mark in his career he was photographed for this paper, the picture being reproduced above. At that time a full account of his life was given.November 19, 1897
----------
Mr. Neeb was born in Franconian district, Bavaria, on the 17th day of September, 1796. He was the youngest of a family of fifteen children. When he was six months old his parents died and the infant was placed in the hands of another family who raised him.
His brothers and sisters came to this country previous to the year 1800. As Peter grew into manhood he learned the business of distilling and when he was eighteen years old, he joined a number of friends who were coming to America. After a voyage of three months the party landed in this country. The first thing Mr. Neeb did was to try to find his relatives and in the search he learned that three of his brothers had been killed while fighting for their adopted country in the War of 1812.
After this, Mr. Neeb drifted to Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, where he secured a remunerative position in a distillery. After a while he was married.
In Lancaster county he made the acquaintance of Mr. John Fox, one of the pioneers of this county, who is yet remembered by a number of our old residents. At the age of thirty-five years Mr. Neeb concluded to "go West". This fact being made known he fell into the hands of a "land shark" who sold him a farm located near Centerville, Ohio. Mr. Neeb having a brother living near that place he was desirous of locating there. He had saved a few hundred dollars, and after paying the "agent" for the farm, he loaded his family in a wagon and made the trip to Centerville. He went direct to the court house to see about the deed of his farm and learned that no such land as he had paid for existed. Without unloading his goods, Mr. Neeb continued to this county in search of his old friend, John Fox.
He found Mr. Fox near where Ray's Crossing is now situated and there Mr. Neeb purchased from the government a tract of land where he lived for a long number of years.
Fifty-five years ago Mrs. Neeb died and he never married again.
After coming to Shelby county, Mr. Neeb engaged in farming. His life is familiar to all from what has been said about him in recent months. He was a remarkable man in many things. He was never sick in his life, never even had a headache or a pain in the back. He was a hard worker until he was past ninety years old and could walk a number of miles then without tiring.
He was a member of the German Evangelist church. He never used tobacco in his life but loved whiskey and used it at all times when he so desired.
He was the father of eleven children and thirty-one grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. Only four of his children are now living.
