Subject

Neeb, Mary Emma "Mollie" (Wisman) (1857-1936)

Description

Portrait of Mollie (Wisman) Neeb in her middle years and wearing a fur stole.

Mollie (Wisman) Neeb was from the Stonewall District of Shenandoah County, one of many children born to William Franklin (1824-1889) and Sarah Frances (Orwick) (1827-1915) Wisman, a farming couple.

In 1882, she married Luther Neeb (1855-1906), the son of Valentine (1822-1875) and Regina (Coverstone) (1832-1869) Neeb. Luther was a farmer and also worked in the fertilizer business.

The couple had no children and lived on a farm just outside the Woodstock town limits, on Fairview Road. Luther died unexpectedly, and the 1910 census found widowed Mary E. Neeb living by herself.

In the 1920 census, a 28-year old nephew, Curtis S. Golliday, lived with her, and farmed her land.

Mollie stayed on her 60-acre farm, close to Woodstock, for the rest of her life. After she died, the farm was sold at auction.
