Author: Robert Walter Smith, Esq.

  ...Dr. Samuel S. Neale was born in Burlington, New Jersey, 
on January 15, 1792, where he received the usual education 
afforded by the excellent academy of that city.  Afterward 
he commenced the study of medicine in the city of 
Philadelphia, under such eminent physicians as Dr. Rush and 
Dr. Physic, and also attended the course of lectures in the 
University of Pennsylvania. About the year 1814, he settled 
in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and in the course of two or 
three years thereafter located in Kittanning, where he 
continued to practice his profession till the time of his 
death, with but a single interruption of a short residence 
in the city of Pittsburgh.

  He was married on July 4, 1826, to Margaret E., daughter 
of Robert Brown, Esq.   Her death occurred March 18, 1851.

  He died on August 22, 1857, leaving surviving him two 
daughters and three sons - Rebecca B., Phebe I., Charles T., 
James B., and Alonza P. Neale.

  As a physician he commanded the respect of his 
professional brethren as well by his skill as by his uniform 
courtesy and constant observance of professional etiquette; 
but, more than all, he became greatly endeared to those to 
whom he bore the relation of family physician.  Constant and 
devoted in every case of illness, skillful in his treatment 
of disease, kind and thoughtful in his manner, and gentle 
and sympathetic in times of distress and affliction, his 
presence and words could always soften the grief and allay 
the sorrows, even at the bedside of the dying.

  In social life he was always genial and open, refined in 
his manner and conversation, and warm and sincere in his 
friendships.  In his death he bore with him the respect and 
good will of all who had known him.
