Obit in Burlington Standard dated 1 Feb 1877.
Died at Colorado Springs, Colorado, on the 14th of January, 1877 of consumption, Mr. Michael O'Neil, of Burlington, aged 22 years. Michael was the son of Mr. John O'Neil who died in Burlington about three years since. He was born and brought up here. He had been sick for the past 9 months and went to Colorado the first part of November last. He rallied somewhat while there, so that his Sister and friends there began to feel encouraged, hoping he was really getting better. But a sudden cold being taken, which ended his days in about three weeks. His sister Mary Ellen accompanied Michael to Colorado and was with him during his stay and watched him carefully while life lasted - and brought home the remains of her dear Brother to be interred in the place of his nativity. The funeral service was held at St. Mary's church, the Rev. Father Wisbauer officiating and the remains deposited in the Catholic Cemetery on Saturday, the 20th day of January, 1877. Michael was unmarried. He is spoken of as a kind and good Brother. Mary Ellen remarked to us "that she thought all the world of him." His memory will long remain green in their hearts. Miss Mary Ellen with the rest of the family tender their sincere thanks to Mr. and Mrs. A. Lawton, Mr. and Mrs. L. Conkey, and Mr. Louis and Miss Ida Biershback; also to Dr. T.G. Horn, his attending physician, who was kind attentive and unremitting in his attentions.
