Julia Taylor Neville and her first baby, Joseph Taylor Neville. Grandma told us how much she enjoyed being a mother and what a good baby Joe was. She was a young mother living in Eureka, a mining town. The woman that rented their room to them wanted to make sure that she was a clean girl before she could use the bath.


Joseph Taylor Neville was the fourth in a line of five Joseph Neville's, starting with Joseph Hyrum Neville, Joseph William Neville Senior, Joseph William Neville Junior, then Joseph Taylor Neville, and then his son Josep
h Morgan Neville, his son.


Joseph Taylor Neville married Evelyn Morgan. They had four children. Joseph, Valerie, Jared and David.
Joe was the oldest of the children. He went by Joe and so did his father. When he was young they would call him "Little Joe" and his father "Big Joe." Eventually Joe became taller than his father and the choice became "Old Joe", and "Young Joe." Grandpa didn't like that so you never heard it, just the story about it.

Joe went on to graduate school in accounting. He has a sucessful career with the IRS and lived in the Washington D.C. area. He retired from the IRS and had other sucessful careers in finance.
