From Neidhard-Minges Funeral Home, Cincinnati, Ohio:
In 1908, the family funeral business was sold by Andrew Neidhard to Andrew's son Edward "E.J." Neidhard. E.J. began his career at the age of 12 working for his father in the livery, where he fed and curried the horses. When he was 17, he drove the carriage in which President Benjamin Harrison journeyed from Cleves to North Bend, Ohio in 1892, for the burial of his sister in the Harrison Tomb. At the age of 20, E.J. began attending embalming lectures by circuit-riding professors and enrolled in several local Colleges and Training Schools. In 1902 he became one of the first licensed embalmers in the State of Ohio. E.J. was a crusader for Western Hamilton County improvements; he successfully petitioned for free rural mail delivery in 1903, persuaded the Cincinnati & Harrison Pike Co. to have telephone lines extended from Cheviot to Miamitown, and collected money to run electrical service between Miamitown and Taylor's Creek. In 1915, E.J. purchased the first motorized hearse in Western Hamilton County.
E.J. married on September 5, 1900 to the former Catherine Anstedt of Shandon. They had four children, Joseph, Raymond, Marie & Lucille. In 1923, the business was expanded to Mt. Healthy, Ohio where oldest son Joseph was placed in charge. In 1928, a third funeral home was opened in Westwood; it was operated by E.J. and his younger son Raymond, who helped his Dad in the business until his death in 1954.
E.J.'s daughter Marie married Henry Minges; in 1947, their oldest son, James, began working in the business after serving his country in WWII.
