Ogdensburg Journal - Monday April 24, 1911
Andrew O'Neill, of"Lisbon, St. Lawrence county, died at his home on the River road April 21, 1911, at the age of 87.
The funeral took place Sunday, Rev. E. L. Sanford, rector of St. John's Episcopal church of this city, officiating. Interment was in the family cemetery on the home farm, where the father and mother of the deceased are buried. The pall bearers were W. B. Livingstone, Frank Jones, Ward McCormick, Edward Dillingham, James Rearden and William H. Dawley.
Deceased was the son of Andrew and Jane O'Neill, who were the first settlers in the town of Lisbon. Andrew O'Neill, the elder, located on a farm on the bank of the St. Lawrence in 1798 and lived there until his death in 1840. His wife died in 1846.
The son, Andrew, was born March 12, 1824; and resided on the old home farm until his death. The old house, now nearly 100 years old, and the oldest structure in Lisbon, is still standing, being used as a custom house. The farm has been in the possession of the O'Neill family 113 years, covering portions of three centuries.
Andrew was the youngest of eight children; all the others are long since deceased. He leaves surviving a widow, Mrs. Catherine O'Neill, whose maiden name was Catherine McCarthur, and three children, all of whom were with him when the end came.
The eldest, James, graduated at Cornell, then at the Albany law school where he was a classmate of Judge John M. Kellogg of this city; was principal of the Ogdensburg academy 1S70-1871; student in the office of Joseph MacNaughton, of this city, and then practiced law at Neillsville, Wisconsin. He is now serving his third term as judge of the Circuit Court in Wisconsin.
Deceased also leaves a daughter, Mary J., who is the wife of George W. Sparrowhawk, of Lisbon, and a son, William Henry, who with his wife lives on and operates the home farm.
Mr. O'Neill was an ardent Republican in politics and took a deep interest in public affairs. He was a leader in his town and had been entrusted with positions of responsibility by its citizens. He also interested himself in educational matters, his home always being open to ministers and school teachers. He was a great reader and in few farmers' homes would one find a better library of the best books.
He was all his life a member of the Episcopal church and was active in building the stone church at what is called the Red Mills.
Mr. O'Neill was of high character and integrity. His record is one of honor and fair dealing in all business affairs. His life was full of kindly deeds and unselfish service. His memory will long be cherished in the community where his life was spent and his example be an incentive to noble deeds to those who live after him.
