William P. McNeall had a very modest equipment when he married, and he and his wife started out as farm renters. The first year they spent on Job Robinson's farm, three years on the farm of Ed Yeargain in Gilmer Township, and for six years on one farm near Hamilton, Ohio. These ten years of renting gave them their real start in life, and they then invested their savings in the J. T. Trout farm near Columbus. They also bought the Samuel Clothier farm in the same locality. For the first place they paid $21 an acre and for the second $40 an acre. Mr. McNeall has made his land more than pay its way, and for a number of years has been a successful stock raiser and stock man. He is a breeder of Percheron horses, and all his stock is of the better grade. He has shipped many carloads from his own farm.
He was one of the interested principals in the organization of the Coatsburg Grain and Livestock Company on December 12, 1917. The other partners in the enterprise are Edward Lohr, Charles Lawless and Willis Cook.
These three gentlemen reside at Paloma. Though this is a new organization the company has handled a large amount of grain and livestock produced in the Coatsburg territory. They shipped forty carloads of wheat from the new crop of 1918, and on the average send about a carload of stock to the St. Louis markets every week.
Mr. McNeall has also figured as a merchant at Columbus, for four years being a hardware and agricultural implement dealer and for two years conducting a general store. The family enterprise is the Central Telephone Office at Columbus, located in the family residence, with his daughter Nina as chief operator. Mr. McNeall has served on the school board and as village trustee of Columbus, is a democratic voter, he and his family are Methodists, and he has filled the chairs of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge at Columbus and is also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. Mr. and Mrs. McNeall have three daughters, all of them still at home, named Nina, Iva and Celina.
