Ralph Neill

When I was a kid, I always remember being at the farm and Uncle Ralph had me follow the baler around to the neighbors and made sure I got adult pay. All the meals we ate, he would always get us to eat more by saying, "What's the matter? Don't you like Aunt Rose's cooking?" So I would end up eating 7 or 8 eggs. He would just keep putting them in front of me.
He taught me very good work ethics.
He was always good to us nieces & nephews and had a way of getting us all together the...

I remember going to uncle Ralphs in the summer,I always enjoyed it. Aunt Rose used to make this great Goosebeery cobbler it was so good.I would have to say the best memories was one year we (Mom,Dad,And I) went to uncle Ralphs one winter and I got to watch and work and assist him in the butchering of some 5 pigs in his barn.My job was to melt the fat down and turn it into lard for Aunt rose.My other job was to make fresh pork rinds.I will always think of him and miss him.

I remember staying with Uncle Ralph and Aunt Rose when Grandma's house was full. We always enjoyed visiting with them at Grandma's. They would always welcome everyone into their home. I know many will miss Uncle Ralph.

My mother, Lydia Morris Schouten, told us many fond memories about cousin "Sweat Bee". I know he will be missed, but memories never die.

Uncle Ralph and Aunt Rose were very nice to me and my two children. When Tom was killed and I decided to marry again,Ralph check out my husband to be and said he's OK. He was right. Ralph was a wonderful person.

Yes, what a great time we all had at Uncle Ralph and Aunt Roses farm. I remember, as soon as we got out of the car, he would greet my brother and I with "Well hello there." That was always the beginning of a fun week! Uncle Ralph was always able to entertain us young boys. One of my treasured adventures was to go coon hunting with him and one of his favorite dogs named Rocket. He was a big man with a big heart and a great example to look up to. It warms my heart to think he is reunited...

Uncle Ralph and Aunt Rose were very special to me as I grew up and I always spent time in the summer at their house when I grew up. Usually I visited when some other cousins were there too. We had a wonderful time and Uncle Ralph took us to the barn and out to see the animals. Often the large extended family had dinners at their farm. We loved the beautiful staircase and the upstairs. When I was about 12, they hired my dad to build a new house. I remember them living in the 2-car...

I remember going with Glenda, Grace & Glenn to "Sweat Bee" and Rose's farm outside of Windsor. We would play the old piano. Ralph let us name two calf's after us. What a special man!

I remember going to Uncle Ralph's farm in summer. It was the highlight of my summer. Aunt Rose always made such good cinnamon rolls and blackberry cobbler. I loved being with the animals. I remember Uncle Ralph, who was a big man to me. My steps made three or 4 to his one. He bent down and showed me a bird nest, and I was amazed that he knew it was there. He was respectful of people and nature. I loved gathering the eggs and watching him milk the cows. He was a gentleman and loved...
