The Nehs family is not pa rt of my direct line, my uncle Urvin Schlaefer married Mary Nehs Franklin 's sister, but they are of interest to me because they came from Pennsylva nia with a group of relatives. I have an obituary for the Franklin mention ed in the posting and I have seen some mention of the later Franklin but n othing more, sorry.

Obituary:
A SUDDEN PASSING ON; Rev. Franklin Liebert Nehs expires in his chair. W as Well and Favorably Known.A telegram from the family at Marshfield Sunday evening conveyed the sad i ntelligence of his sudden demise to his brothers and sisters living her e. It came as a severe shock to them and to his friends in the home of h is youth and early manhood. Franklin Liebert Nehs was a son of Charles a nd Sarah Nehs, and was born in Lehigh County, Pa., Aug. 21, 1842. When t wo years old his parents moved to Wisconsin. They made the trip to the th en far west in a covered wagon passing over the forests of Ohio, Indiana a nd Illinois into Wisconsin, reaching the Falls in the Menomonee, where th ey concluded there was sufficient water power. They drove the stakes in t he home to be made in thethick forests on either side of the stream. His early life was spent in as sisting his parents to acquire a competency. Between the work (unable to r ead next few words) and in the saw mill he acquired a common school educat ion and supplemented this with the carefulreading of such literature as was accessible to the average young man of h is day. When yet a young man he determined to follow the ministry embraci ng the doctrines of the Evangelical Association. August 6, 1904, he was ma rried to Miss Sarah Fenstermacher who was a native of Pennsylvania and ca me to Wisconsin in 1859 with friends of the Nehs family. Shortly after the ir marriage he entered actively in the ministry, serving through a long a nd eventful period with great success. Among his charges will be many w ho remember him while on the various circuits of the German Evangelical ch urch. His was in a great degree pioneer work, and it is said that at the A sh Creek Mission he served five most fruitful years. Likewise was this tr ue at his present home, Marshfield. He had the satisfaction of seeing t he growth of the mission there from a handful of people worshipping in the ir faith, to the now large membership in a commodious house of worship.During his active experience in church extention, and in the year 18 80 he was forced to take a much needed rest and came back to the home of h is boyhood. It was while here, and being always mindful of the best intere sts of the native heath, he planned and established the first weekly pap er here. The initial number of the News made its appearance July 4, 188 0, nearly seventeen years ago. F. L. Nehs was its founder. That he is enti tled to the credit for launching it, is freely accredited to him by our pe ople, and that in so doing he had the continued good will of all our citiz ens. It is further a fact that much influence was exerted by his pap er in securing the building of the Menomonee Falls and Western Railway. B ut his work was in the ministry, in less than a year he turned the paper o ver to others and again took up preaching. He passed away at 10:30 Sund ay Morning, just at the hour when the church bells called him so oft en to service, The end came quickly and peacefully. He is survived by h is widow, two daughters, Nina A. Nehs, and Mrs. Barney Fitzgerald. The so ns are Benjamin, Charles and Victor. There were short funeral servic es at the home Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock. From there the body accompani ed by the family left on the Wisconsin Central to Colgate where they we re met and conveyed to the home of his sister, Mrs. Mary Schlafer.At 10 o'clock Wednesday morning the funeral services took place at Emanuel 's Evangelical church. The friends of his youth, sorrowing, assembled to t he respect to his memory, and as the toll of the bell sounded out on the l ean winter air, all that was mortal, of the pastor husband and father w as tenderly borne down the aisle, the casket carried by six of his fell ow ministers. Presiding Elder, Brendel, of the Milwaukee district officiat ed. Rev. Sam. Erffmeyer also took part, speaking in English. From the chur ch the remains were interred in the family lot. The following named minist ers of the Evangelical church were present: P. E., J.C. Brendel, L. F. Emm ert, Samuel Frffmeyer, J. E. Klein, and M. Gauerky, of Milwaukee, H. E. Er ffmeyer of Racine, H. J. Droegkamp, of Waukesha, M Wittenweyler of Waterto wn, and the local pastor, J. P. Doran.

Obituary:
Victor W. Nehs, attorney of Neillsville, died suddenly of a heart attack early Sunday evening. Final services for him were planned for 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Methodist Church, with the Rev. Virgil Nulton in charge. Interment will be in the Neillsville City Cemetery.
Mr. Nehs had practiced in Neillsville more than 30 years. He came here in March 1917, as an associate of the late Emery Crosby, and was with him until Mr. Crosby was elected Circuit Judge in 1922. Thereafter Mr. Nehs practiced alone.
In addition to his private practice Mr. Nehs had many public responsibilities. He served a term as mayor of Neillsville; was district attorney two terms; was for three terms chairman of the Clark County Board; was a member of the Wisconsin Assembly for two terms, ending in 1938, and during that time failed the election as speaker by a single vote. The single vote was lost because of Mr. Nehs adherence to his convictions, a trait which was strong in him throughout his public service.
Mr. Nehs was born July 28, 1887, in Menomonee Falls, Wis., a community in which members of the Nehs family were pioneers. His father, Franklin L., was a German Evangelical minister, and Victor gathered his schooling as his father proceeded from charge to charge. His parents had both died before he was 17, but he was graduated from Marshfield High School and went on to the University of Wisconsin, where he earned his way through the law school.
When the Mexican border trouble arose, Mr. Nehs was a member of the Marshfield military band; and he went to Texas with that organization as a drummer. Upon his return he was married June 12, 1917, to Clara Floberg, whom he had met in Loyal during a brief period of practice there. He had scarcely settled down to his practice in Neillsville, when the First World War called him. Because of his knowledge of the German language, he was trained for intelligence service, and was to have served in listening posts in front of the American Lines. But the war ended before this perilous service started. He remained in service in France until the summer of 1919, when he returned to Neillsville.
Mr. Nehs was a member of the American Legion; was a Mason; a member of the Presbyterian Church, a Kiwanian. In 1921 he was one of the organizers of the local Kiwanis Club; became its first president; was later elected lieutenant governor of this Kiwanis district.
Mr. Nehs is survived by Mrs. Nehs, two sons and one brother. The sons are DeWayne P., who was born Oct. 17, 1918, and Franklin, Feb. 23, 1922. Both of these sons are attorneys, DeWayne practicing in Milwaukee and Franklin in Appleton.
Pallbearers were: James A. Musil, W. B. Tufts, Joseph Zimmerman, Dave Parry, John Peterson and W. F. Harvey.
In recognition of the services of Mr. Nehs to the community, Mayor Naedler requested business houses to close Wednesday afternoon, during the hour of the funeral.
