Daniel was born Porter Twp., Huntingdon Co. PA and died at Hahneman Hospital in Philadelphia.
DANIEL J. NEFF, one of the founders of the Blair County Bar Association, and a man of great professional prominence in Central Pennsylvania, is the Nestor of the Altoona bar, having come to this city in 1860 and been in continuous practice here ever since. During
this long period he has witnessed great local changes - all for the better - and can take reasonable pride in the fact that his own profession has had a not unimportant part in bringing about the improved conditions of life which obtain today. Mr. Neff has entered
into his seventy-eighth year, having been born January 3, 1831, in Porter Township, Huntingdon County, PA.
His parents were Daniel and Mary (Huyette) Neff. Daniel Neff, father of Daniel J., was a son of John and Fannie (Kauffman) Neff, and was born in Huntingdon County, January 18, 1793, and was there reared. His wife Mary was a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Grove) Huyette, and a granddaughter of Louis Huyette, who was a native of France.
Daniel J. Neff, the subject of this present record, prepared for college in the schools of Alexandria and at Huntingdon Academy, and was graduated from Marshall College, at Mercersburg, in the class of 1851. He then entered upon the study of law, doing his preparatory reading in the office of Hon. S. S. Blair, at Hollidaysburg, and later attending the law college at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. In 1856 he was admitted to the Blair County bar and practiced for a while both at Hollidaysburg and Tyrone. In 1860 he took up his residence in Altoona, finding here at that time but two competitors, both of whom are but indifferently remembered by him. At different times Mr. Neff was associated with partners, and for a number of years was at the head of the law firm of Neff, Hicks & Ambrose. This partnership was subsequently dissolved and Mr. Neff has since continued in practice with Mr. J. D. Hicks as a junior partner. He practices in all the courts and has won victories in many noted cases of litigation. He maintains offices at Nos. 22-24 Hutchinson Block, Altoona. Though the extent of his professional interests have not allowed him to devote much time to politics, he has always taken a warm interest in the public affairs of his city and county. In business affairs aside from those of his profession he is identified with the Second National Bank of Altoona and other important concerns.
Mr. Neff was married September 24, 1873, to Miss Susanna B. Gray, of Altoona, and they have one daughter, Pauline Louise. The family residence - a handsome and tasteful structure is at No. 1512 Twelfth Avenue, Altoona.
