Obit. Standard Democrat 24 Jul 1924
Robert O'Neill, one of the worthy pioneers of western Racine county died at the farm on which he had lived for nearly eighty years, Saturday evening. It was a gradual wearing out - old age claiming a life that had been active and industrious. Funeral services were held from St. Mary's Catholic Church Tuesday morning Rev J.A. Van Treeck officiating and his remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery. Mr. O'Neill was born in Milwaukee February 26, 1844, which his parents were on their way from Ireland to seek a home in the west. Soon after they came to the town of Burlington, where they took out a government claim and this farm has always been his home. He had an active part in the upbuilding of the country and was generally loved and respected by all who knew him. It would have been fifty years next January that he brought Ann Cunningham to the homestead as a bride and she has been a faithful and loving helpmate. She and the following children survive: Michael, of the town of Burlington, Agnes, Frank and John, living at home. A host of friends extend sympathy to them in their bereavement.
