It's a contracted form of "never". As in a word like "can't" the apostrophe represents a missing letter, in this case the v. Now you know what "ne'er" is, you should have no trouble with "e'er"
It's a contraction of "never", said in one syllable.
It could depend on context, but usually it will mean never. If that doesn't fit with what is around it then it could mean nearer.
"Ne'er" was sometimes used by Shakespeare as a contraction of the word "never".
