PASSED OVER THE RIVER
Jasper O'Neil, well known in Sterling for a number of years, being prominent in mercantile and church society, died on Monday afternoon, February 22, at five o'clock. Mr. O'Neil had conducted a grocery store in Sterling for a number of years and was upright in all his business dealings. He was well liked by all, and the large concourse of people, who attended his funeral attested to the esteem in which he was held.
Mr. O'Neil has been troubled with heart disease for a number of years and was frequently confined to his bed. For the last three months he grew steadily worse, and during that time rarely left his room. On Monday the end came, and his soul took its flight.
Jasper O'Neil was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, on August 17th, 1827. United with the Presbyterian church at the age of eighteen, and remained a faithful member until his death. He lived a most consistent Christian life, being always remarkable for his piety and devotion. He moved to Iowa in 1844, where he was married in 1848. By this union, he was the father of six children, two of whom preceded him at the Master's call. On August 19th, 1861, he enrolled in Company B, 50th regiment, Iowa Volunteer Cavalry, and served his county four years. He came to Kansas in 1883. He was married to Mrs. Fisher in 1886, with whom he lived happily, and who remains to mourn the loss of a faithful and devoted husband.
Margaret Ann(Leasure) was married to William Fisher, Jr. , Jan. 1, 1845 in West Moreland County, PA.
She married Jasper O'Neil Sept. 10, 1948 in Lee County, IA. Together they had six children, 4 of whom lived. Margaret Ann died November 2, 1906 in Van Buren Co., Iowa and was buried in Hood River, Hood River County, Oregon, USA.
