Notes:
                       Joseph Hyrum Neville was a bricklayer, plasterer, surveyer of the town of
    Byron, Wyoming and a Wyoming State Senator from Big Horn County.  He built the
    large two-story house for himself and family and also the large house across
    the street for his daughter, Annie May known later as the Deaton House.  These
    two houses were exceptionally large and across from the General Store and LDS
    Church, which was demolished in 1959 and the Byron School District built the
    new Elementary Building.  Today the Neville house is owned by Ernest Jensen and
    the Deaton house is owned by Ida Mae Sessions (1990).  In May of 1991, the
    Deaton house was sold to James Frost of Cowley.

    England, came to Centerville, Utah in 1866, and to the Bear River Valley in

    A message written by Joseph H. Neville to Ann Lydia before their marriage
    in 1873 is as follows: " Dear Annie you and me together will be bound, a loving
    pair will be found.  It is the will of Charles and Eliza West that we should
    marry and do our best.  To let us try and stand the test, Joseph Neville and
    Annie West.  Of all the girls I ever sparked you are the jewel of my heart.
    Let us try and never part.  You and me together will be one as soon as my house
    is done.  The fifth of May is the appointed day.  If I have money to pay my
    way, we'll not postpone the day."  By yours truly, Joseph H. Neville.
    Information from Ed Neville (1992), Joseph was 16 years old when the family in
    New York City, arriving there in 1868.  One year later the family went by train
    to Cheyenne, Wyoming and by oxen wagon train to Salt Lake City.  They were in
    Utah when the Golden Spike was driven in 1869.

    handed out at the Open House which read as follows:  Now it came to pass in the
    year one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine that Leo of the House of Neville
    began to wax old.  He called his bride of fifty years to his side and recounted
    their many blessings.  Great was their joy that their lives had been spared,
    that they might enjoy their posterity even unto the third generation.  Their
    hearts filled with tender memories of the many kindnesses of their friends.
    They rejoiced exceedingly and sent work out among the people, far and near to
    gather round about them.  Then they did raise their voices unto their Maker
    saying, "Lord, we thank Thee for family and friends."  Leo served a mission to
    Ireland, 1 Oct 1906.  He and Carrie Hatch were married 18 Aug 1909.  He
    returned from his mission 12 Dec 1908.  Leo took the picture of his parents and
    family when they first arrived in the Big Horn, 1900.  Each of you have that
    picture.
