bio Neale, Emma Jane (1847-1943), of Mt. Lebanon, NY, was born in Hinsdale, Cheshire Co, NH, and was admitted to the Church F., from the East F., in 1861. She became a teaching assistant, in 1866, and taught together with Amelia Calver in the years from 1866 to 1869. She continued teaching through 1875 and, starting in November, 1872, she was authorized to teach boys - a significant Shaker innovation at that time. She served as trustee for 61 of her 96 years. Around the turn of the century she took over the leadership of the cloak industry from Sr. Clarissa Jacobs and continued it into the 1930's. As a trustee, together with her sister, Sadie, she supervised the sale of furniture as the Mt. Lebanon families closed, one after another.
