Notes for A
LBERTUS JAMES MCNEIL:
from notes compiled by Neil Fetter:
      No written history of Albertus has been found. We can only make some deductions from the available data. From his place of birth in Homer, New York, he can be traced to Grand Rapids, MI, in 1849, his place of marriage to Amanda Beebe. He had three sons born in Sandusky, Ohio, from 1850 to 1853, before moving to Davenport, IA, the birthplace of Homer H. McNeil. He left there, and went back to Sandusky for the birth of his son Frank. He was then in St. Louis, Missouri, where his son Frank died, and his son Edward was born. Shortly after Edward's birth, Amanda died, and then Edward died, also.
      Albertus was back in Ohio for his second marriage, to Miss Minnie (Mary Ann) Dix. His only daughter, and last child, Cora Dix McNeil, was born in Mattoon, Illinois.
      In a diary kept by his son, Homer McNeil, Homer wrote, "Father and Jimmie went to California June 16, 1876." Later entries in the same diary show Albertus Moving from Red Bluff, California, to San Jose, in May 1878, then on to Carson City, NV, in August of the same year. He moved to his last home, in Phoenix, Arizona, about July 1, 1880. In Albertus' obituary, published in the Arizona Gazette on August 6, 1881, it is written, "Shortly after coming to Phoenix, he was instrumental in establishing the Gazette, now owned by two of his sons, and took great pride in it right up to the moment of his death." From that account, and the fact that four of his sons were in the printing and/or publishing business, it's probable that this was his profession also, at least at one time. It should also be noted, however, that in old copies of the Gazette, there are ads by A.J. McNeil, Saddle and Harness Manufacturer.
      Albertus had been in poor health for some time before his death. Homer's diary notes: "

Notes for E
UNICE AMANDA BEEBE:
      Believed to have been known by her middle name, Amanda.
      From the dates of death of Eunice and her two youngest sons, it seems likely that they all caught some kind of disease. Frank, not quite two years old, died first, on April 28, 1860, two days after his baby brother's birth. Then Eunice died on May 3, 1860, with her newborn baby Edward dying on May 9, 1860, at just 13 days old.

UNICE AMANDA BEEBE:
Burial: May 1860, Belfontaine Cemetery, St. Louis, Missouri

Notes for M
INNIE ANN DIX:
      Sharyn, another Dix researcher, said that her records show Minnie's date of birth as 1838, instead of 1840, and her given name as Minnie in one record, and Mary Ann in another.


     
Children of A
LBERTUS MCNEIL and EUNICE BEEBE are:

24. iii.   JAMES HERBERT MCNEIL, b. October 05, 1853, Sandusky, Ohio; d. Aft. 1930, probably California.
25. iv.   HOMER H. MCNEIL, b. March 26, 1856, Davenport, Iowa; d. April 03, 1942, Phoenix, Arizona.
  v.   FRANK MCNEIL39, b. July 26, 1858, Sandusky, Ohio39; d. April 28, 1860, St. Louis, Missouri.

Child of ALBERTUS MCNEIL and MINNIE DIX is:
  vii.   CORA DIX7 MCNEIL39,40, b. March 10, 1867, Mattoon, Illinois41; d. October 25, 1947, NaPa, California42; m. (1) EBEN SKELLIE WHITE43, January 20, 1891, San Jose, California43; b. July 23, 1862, Findley's Lake, Chautauqua County, New York43; d. September 12, 1897, probably California43; m. (2) FRED DEMOTT HALL, May 03, 1903, San Francisco, California43; d. Unknown, probably California.
  Notes for CORA DIX MCNEIL:
      It is unknown if Cora had children from either of her marriages. She is buried in St. Helena, California. After the death of her father, an entry in Homer's diary states, "Mother and Cora went East in August, 1882."
      In the 1901 City Directory for San Francisco, Cora D. White is listed as a proof reader. I would guess that she was working in her brother's printing business (McNeil Brothers Printing, owned by Albert Beebe McNeil). Albert, and his business, are also listed in the City Directory for San Francisco.
