Nathan H. McNeall, father of Derrick L., was also a physician, studying at first under his father and later graduating from Keokuk Medical College. He began practice at Columbus, and for a few years lived at Denver in Hancock County. He finally took up his residence at Paloma and practiced there until his death in January 1884, at the age of forty-eight. During the Civil war he served as first assistant surgeon in the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Illinois Infantry and was with his company until discharged. He was an active member of the County and State medical societies and the American Medical Association, and was also a good business man. The saddle bags in which he kept his instruments and medicines as he rode his rounds over the country are still carefully preserved by his son Derrick L.
