WILLIAM O'NEIL. The
name O'Neil at once suggests Ireland. While
William O'Neil of Amboy was born May 11, 1872, in
Royalton, his parents, Thomas and Mary (Brady) O'Neil,
were Irish emigrants, although they met and were married in
Buffalo. Later they located on a farm in Royalton.
She died there Aug. 11, 1896, while he died in November,
seven years later. Their children are: James,
of Metamora; John, deceased; Thomas and
Michael of Amboy; Martin of Royalton; William
who relates the family story; and Maggie and Ella
who died in infancy.
On Feb. 9, 1893, William O'Neil was united in
the holy bonds of matrimony with Catherine Mossing.
She was born Nov. 20, 1873, in Germany. She is a
daughter of Jacob and Mary (Gillan) Mossing, who
emigrated to the United States when she was a babe and they
located on a farm in Amboy. After their marriage
William O'Neil purchased land in Royal ton, but in April
1903, he sold it and bought a farm in Amboy. He has
120 acres of well improved land, although part of it was in
the brush when he bought it.
Mr. O'Neil built a house and added other
improvements from time to time. He tiled and fenced
the land and it is now practically all under cultivation.
He is the man to make two blades of grass grow where there
was one. He is a democrat and a member of the Catholic
Church in Caraghar, Ohio. The children are: Martin,
of Royalton; John, of Royalton; Edward,
Lawrence and Anna, at home.
