General Notes: Husband - Edward O'Neill

---

He was educated in the district schools of Green township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and during his boyhood worked on the home farm. A bright, enterprising youth, when he was just fifteen years of age he engaged in school teaching, but the Civil War roused his youthful patriotism, and in October, 1864, he enlisted in Company E, 88th Regiment, P. V. I. under Col. Louis Wagner, of Philadelphia. He saw considerable hard fighting with this regiment, participating in numerous skirmishes and the battles of Petersburg and Hatcher 's Run, and in the latter engagement received severe wounds in the head and hands. On receiving his honorable discharge Mr. O'Neill returned to the old home, and worked on the farm until 1882, in which year he engaged in the general merchandise business at Mitchells Mills, but he continued cultivating his valuable property of 200 acres situated in Green township.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was an elder, and was active in church and charitable work. He held membership in the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic. A stanch Prohibitionist in his political views, for ten years he acted as justice of the peace of Green township.
