Notes for C
HARLES HENRY MCNEIL:
from notes compiled by Neil Fetter:
      Charles lived for a time in Chicago, according to Homer's diary. An entry dated Dec. 1873, reads, "Charley left for Chicago." From later entries it appears that he left Chicago for California. In June 1880, Charley and his brother James left San Francisco for Phoenix, where Charles worked as foreman for the "Herald," a Republican paper which had been running for about nine months. On October 28, 1880, Charles started the "Arizona Gazette" as a rival paper to the Herald and a Democratic paper, the "Expositor." In the spring of 1881, Charles' brother Homer bought his interest in the Gazette. Late in 1881, Charles and his family moved to New York state, where he lived until his death.
      in the 1900 for Rochester, New York, Charles' occupation was printer.

  Notes for ALBERTUS W. MCNEIL:
      In the 1900 census, for Rochester, New York, Albert's occupation was printer. In the 1930 census, he was married to Nellie Thaney, and owned his own printing shop. He was living with his wife's brother, John Thaney, and others. No children were listed for Albert and Nellie, but they may have already left home.

  Notes for NELLIE THANEY:
      In the 1920 census, Nellie's brother's surname looks like "Ethaney" and in the 1930 census, it looks like "Thaney," but I can't find the brothers listed separately under either spelling.

  ii.   GRACE E. MCNEIL, b. September 1881; d. Unknown.
  iii.   HATTIE BELLE MCNEIL, b. February 1883, New York; d. Unknown.
