GEORGE W. O'NEIL
OCTOBER 22, 1942
George W. O'Neil, 77, died at him home 6840 S. Marshfield Ave., October 4, following an illness of about two months with heart trouble.
Funeral services were held at St. Justin's church in Chicago, Wednesday, October 14 with burial in Holy Sepulchre cemetery.
Mr. O'Neil was born in a log cabin in Charlotte township, in 1865, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John O'Neil, among the first settlers of Charlotte township. He went to Chicago in 1887 and engaged in the real estate business which he followed up to the time of his death. His son, associated with him, will continue the business. While he had been away from Chatsworth a half century he always had a warm spot in his heart for the town and occasionally came back for a brief visit. He had been a reader of the Plaindealer all these years and one of his last conscious acts was to direct his son, Gerald, to renew his subscription.
Mrs. O'Neil died during the holidays. Surviving are one daughter, Miss Hazel O'Neil, at home, and one son, Gerald, of Chicago.
