Neil A.

Everett, daughter of William and Jane Everett, prominent pioneers of the County of Kent. Mrs. McGeachy was born in January, 1842, at her father's homestead. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. McGeachy settled on Lot 12, Harwich township, but after a year purchased 200 acres in Thamesville, on which he erected a large brick house and made many improvements; in 1889, however, he sold this property and purchased a $13,000 farm in Harwich township, known as the Indian Creek farm, and there he and his family still reside.

His cattle are short horn thorough breeds. He has been very successful, and his prosperity has been acquired through intelligent effort, hard work and good management.
Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. McGeachy, two of them dying in childhood. William A., born in 1875, was graduated from the high school and business college of Chatham, and is at present manager of the Fruit Growers' Association, holding full direction in the Northwest.

She became mute from a fall during childhood. After the family emigrated to America, she was enrolled on September 14, 1846 in the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind at Staunton, Va. School records show, however, that she was only there for two weeks and was then transferred to a hospital with the notation "insane" on her record The hospital to which she was sent was not noted, so there is no record at present of the place and exact date of her death. (In a letter written by her brother Edward in 1903, which is appended, he stated that she died at a school for the deaf in Staunton, Va., in 1850. This is the only indication available on the place and date of her death.)
