Author notes: The items on this page were taken from the Newark [Ohio] Advocate online images
accessed through ancestry.com from newsbank.com. They are arranged in date order to provide a
picture of the O'Neill family's life in Licking County, Ohio during the years available.
Items have been truncated to remove most unrelated matter. The boxed dates were added by Author,
and when I did not overlook it, the page number follows the date to enable others to replicate
this research. Annotation in the form of green highlights have been added to aid in finding the
name of the person in longer stories.
The reports typically do not reveal first names of married women nor do they distinguish between
seniors and juniors of the same given name, thus requiring some judgment by Author based on dates
and their relevance to persons in the lineage.
Thomas O'Neill arrived in northern Ohio, Huron County, in 1861 thence to Licking County between
1873 and 1878, The people mentioned in the clippings, other than spouses, are Thomas, sons Thomas,
Charle P, and Albert, and daughter Jennie.
The B&O [Baltimore and Ohio Railroad] had an important facility in Newark. Several O'Neills worked
for B&O. The O'Neills associated with Thomas [Sr] lived near each other on Buena Vista Street in 1900.

Author notes: I believe this is Thomas [Jr] age 35 who had two brothers working for the railroad in 1900.

Author notes: from wikipedia.org - "Pedro (pronounced "peedro"), sometimes known as Pidro or Petro, is a card game
of the All-Fours family. It is usually played by four people, who are usually divided into two partnerships
sitting across from each other. It is a point-cards, trick-taking game played with a standard deck of 52 cards and,
in some variations, one Joker.

Author notes: Maggie/Margaret Maron/Marron/MArion not found in 1900 census in Cleveland area.

|
Author notes: this real estate transfer seems to be between Albert and his brother James. James in the lineage
chart is listed as James A.
|
|
|
Author notes: this James, the actor, is apparently not from Newark based on the tone of the item. He is a
cousin of Thomas' sons Thomas and John, which indicates Thomas had at least one brother who had at least one
son living in Ohio. I know from other reports that Thomas [Sr] had relatives in Huron County but have not
yet identified the entire family.
|
|
|
Author notes: this clearly is Thomas [Sr] born about 1830. In the 1900 census he gave his occupation as
laborer which, in my view, means he had retired from the railroad by the age of 65 and considered himself a
laborer. He was living at 81 Buena Vista St in 1900. When he died in 1905 the newspaper reported he died at
home at 30 North Avenue.

Author notes: I have found no trace of Anna in the 1910 US census yet here she is living and dying on
Elmwood Avenue at number 175. ACross the street at 194 her son Albert and family lived. Survived by
eight sons and two daughters exactly fits the lineage chart. However, in 1900 census Thomas and Anna
reported immigrating in 1861. Daughter Margaret is listed in 1880 census as born in Canada in 1862.
