Frances was born the year following her parents move from Indiana to Mercer
county, Illinois. She was the only child born in Illinois and the only child to
spend her entire life in Mercer county.
Daniel and Frances Neff established their home on a farm north of Millersburg,
near an unincorporated settlement known as Marston.
Soon after her marriage Frances was picking the feathers from a goose when it
bit her on the breast. In a few years it was discovered that she had cancer of
the breast. She believed that the bite of the goose was the cause of her
cancer. Doctors knew less than they do now of the cause and cure of cancer, but
a horrible operation removing her breasts was performed. It was to no avail and
after suffering terrible pain for several years, Frances died of cancer at age
32.
Frances is buried in Millersburg Cemetery near so many of her relatives.
