As an aside, Neil was buried at Archer's Chapel because he was the only member of this family to fight on the Union side during the Civil War causing strife with his brother William, who fought on the Confederate side.
Neil asked his wife not to bury him in the same cemetery, the "Polly Archer" cemetery just below Archer's Chapel, where his brother, William was buried. His brothers, Arthur and William both fought in the Confederate Army.
