Neriah went with his father when the latter moved his home to Richmond, Utah. He helped his father with the farm work and the construction of his house.

He later worked as a teamster and operated a freighting outfit of his own as well as taking care of his farrn. In 1867 he quit freighting and devoted himself to building up his Richmond farm. At intervals he worked on the Utah Northern and Northern Pacific Railroads.

In 1882 he was called to be the bishop of the Oxford, Idaho, ward. His ranch was the finest in Oxford with excellent stock, a beautiful home, and fine farm. He was often encouraged to become involved in politics but refused, giving his reason that he needed the time for his work as a bishop. He believed in setting the right kind of example to his congregation.
