She was born November 16, 1829 in Niagara County, NY30,31, and died May 03, 1860 in St. Louis, MO32. He married (2) MINNIE ANN DIX32 February 01, 1864 in Delaware County, OH33,34, daughter of DAVID DIX and MARGARET POOLE. She was born December 08, 1840 in Delaware County, OH, and died June 03, 1888 in Wheeling, WV34.

Notes for A
LBERTUS JAMES MC NEIL:
from notes compiled by Neil Fetter:
No written history of Albertus has been found. We can only make some deductions from the available data. From his place of birth in Homer, NY, he can be traced to Grand Rapids, MI, in 1849, his place of marriage to Eunice Beebe. He had three sons born in Sandusky, OH, from 1850 to 1853, then to Davenport, IA, the birthplace of Homer H. McNeil. He left there, and went back to Sandusky for the birth of his son Frank. He was then in St. Louis, MO, where his son Frank died, and his son Edward was born. He was back in Ohio for his second marriage, to Minnie Dix. His daughter, and last child, Cora Dix McNeil, was born in Mattoon, IL.
In a diary kept by Homer McNeil, he writes, "Father and Jimmie went to California June 16, 1876." Later entries in the same diary show Albertus Moving from Red Bluff, CA, to San Jose, in May 1878, then on to Carson City, NV, in August of the same year. He moved to Phoenix about July 1, 1880. In Albertus' obituary, published in the Arizona Gazette on August 6, 1881, it is written, "Shortly after coming to Phoenix, he was instrumental in establishing the Gazette, now owned by two of his sons, and took great pride in it right up to the moment of his death." From that account, and the fact that four of his sons were in the printing and/or publishing business, it's probable that this was his profession also, at least at one time. It should also be noted, however, that in old copies of the Gazette, there are ads by A.J. McNeil, Saddle and Harness Manufacturer.
Albertus had been in poor health for some time before his death, and was on his way to Prescott by wagon to escape the summer heat in Phoenix when he died.

Notes for E
UNICE AMANDA BEEBE:
      Believed to have been known by her middle name, Amanda.
      From the dates of death of Eunice and her two youngest sons, it might be concluded that they all caught some kind of disease. Frank, not quite two years old, died first, on April 28, 1860, two days after his baby brother's birth. Then Eunice died on May 3, 1860, with baby Edward dying May 9, 1860, at just 13 days old.

Notes for M
INNIE ANN DIX:
      Sharyn, another Dix researcher, said that her records show Minnie's date of birth as 1838, instead of 1840, and her given name as Minnie in one record, and Mary Ann in another.

Child of ALBERTUS MC NEIL and MINNIE DIX is:
  vii.   CORA DIX7 MC NEIL34,35, b. March 10, 1867, Mattoon, IL36; d. October 25, 1947, Napa, CA37; m. (1) EBEN SKELLIE WHITE38, January 20, 1891, San Jose, CA38; b. July 23, 1862, Findley's Lake, Chautauqua County, NY38; d. September 12, 1897, probably CA38; m. (2) FRED DEMOTT HALL, May 03, 1903, San Francisco, CA38; d. probably CA.
  Notes for CORA DIX MC NEIL:
      It is unknown if Cora had children from either of her marriages. She is buried in St. Helena, CA.       After the death of her father, an entry in Homer's diary states, "Mother and Cora went East in August, 1882."
      In the 1901 City Directory for San Francisco, Cora D. White is listed as a proof reader. It's likely that she was working in her brother's printing business (McNeil Brothers Printing, owned by Albert Beebe McNeil). Albert, and his business, are also listed in the City Directory.
