Col. E.K. (Doc) Neumann, well known Carlsbad attorney and prominent in community and state affairs for more than 30 years, died at 9:30 a.m. today at Memorial Hospital where he had been under treatment since suffering a stroke last March 3. He was 60 years of age.
Neumann was transferred to Providence Hospital in El Paso Sunday for special tests and examinations, and returned to the local hospital Wednesday night.
Funeral services are pending with Carpenter Funeral Home to be in charge of arrangements. A military service is planned.
Born Dec. 15, 1898, at Delavin, Ill., Neumann moved to Carlsbad after receiving his law degree in 1923. He was admitted to the New Mexico Bar that year, and to the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1931.
He served as Democratic floor leader in the New Mexico House of Representatives in 1927 and as attorney general of the state from 1931 to 1935. After supervising creation of the New Mexico State Police, he served as chairman of the State Police Board.
Neumann was active in the combined hospital fund raising campaign which raised approximately $1 million to build a wing on St. Francis Hospital and to erect the new Carlsbad Memorial Hospital. He served as president of the Memorial Hospital board until his death. He also was current president of the Eddy County Bar Association.
He was a Quaker, a 32nd Degree Mason, member of the American Legion, and American Bar Association.
Survivors include the widow, of the home address, 712 West Riverside Drive, a brother, Max Neumann, Greensburg, Kan.; and five sisters, Mrs. Howard Hadley, Mrs. A.W. Dunn, and Mrs. G.P. Klug, all of Greensburg; Mrs. John Graff of Lewis, Kan., and Mrs. E.W. Renner of McAllen, Tex.
Mrs, Renner had been in Carlsbad since Col. Neumann became ill.
Long active in local civic affairs, Col. Neumann enjoyed a lengthy and varied career on the New Mexico political scene and served his government during World War I, World War II, between the wars and after the latter.
Born in Illinois, Neumann moved to Coldwater, Kans., where he was reared. He received his L.L.B degree from the University of Kansas in 1923, and soon thereafter started a private law practice in Carlsbad.
Although he spent a number of the intervening years in Washington and Europe, he had grown to love Carlsbad and New Mexico, and returned here after serving with the military government in Germany to resume the practice of law.
He served as city judge and city attorney of Carlsbad, later going to the state legislature. Neumann also served as Attorney General of New Mexico, was a member of the Interstate River Commission and chairman of the State Police Board.
In 1935 he was called to Washington, D.C., to serve as first assistant and then associate general counsel of HOLC. In 1941, he became associate general counsel for the FHLB Administration.
In August of 1942, Neumann was called to active duty in the U.S. Army, where he was assigned to Air Force Intelligence. He served with the Operational Intelligence Section, A-2, Washington, and as Air Force liaison with OSS.
Neumann was transferred to civil affairs in November of 1943, receiving special schooling at Fort Custer, Mich., the University of Wisconsin, Camp Reynolds, Pa., and Shrivenham, England. He went to England in February, 1944.
After assignments with SHAEF, where he helped prepare the Military Government Handbook, and with the Danish Mission, of which he was chief of public safety, Neumann was transferred to the military government detachment responsible for the administration of Cherbourg, Paris, and Berlin.
He was the first public safety chief for the U.S. sector of Berlin, and with the French, British and Russian counterparts, organized the first post war police force in Berlin.
In January, 1946, he was called to Wiesbaden to serve with OMG Hesse. With OMG Hesse, Neumann was legal division chief, public safety chief and executive officer. In December, 1947, he terminated his military career, as a colonel, and remained with OMG Hesse in a civilian capacity.
During World War I, he served in the Navy, and between the wars was active in Reserve affairs and the New Mexico National Guard. He remained in the Air Force Reserve until retiring a few months ago.
In October, 1949, Neumann was invited to join the foreign service staff of the U.S. State Department, and was selected to head the Public Affairs Division, Office of the Land Commissioner for Hesse, the second largest state in the U.S. occupied zone of Germany. In that capacity he was responsible, under the policies of the U.S. High Commissioner, for the re-education, cultural exchange, information services, public relation and public health and welfare.
Active in Reserve Officer affairs, he became known in Europe as "Mr. Reserve Officers Association." He served as president of the Wiesbaden Chapter of the Reserve Officers' Association for a number of terms.
Col. Neumann returned to Carlsbad in 1951 to resume his private law practice.
