"Those souls who have passed on are not forgotten but for those who would remember...."
Origin of name (McNeel) goes back to Scotland (about 1700). This, from family papers that describe (a great grandfather to Brinton) who had retained his silver buckles and kilt from an emigration from Scotland. Clan was McNeel.
Brinton Wallace McNeil (previous McNeel) grew up on his father's farm in West Moreland which was in the Lane County (Eugene Oregon) region. This homestead was on Spencer Butte south of Eugene. His trade was an electrician. He worked for various concerns, to include a lumber mill at Rock Creek, as the electrical engineer for the lumber mill. Later in his life he lived in the Saint Helen's Oregon region, and at the end of his life, Vernonia Oregon, to the south.
Brinton passed away in Portland at the Physician's & Surgeon's Hospital @ 19th and Marshall Streets (1949 Marshall Street), on October 13, @ 1:30 A.M.
Please note:
Death Certificate shows birth date of July 14, 1903; however, his marriage certificate with Florence Irene Smith shows September 14, 1903. (Obviously, somebody wrote something down wrong.) I will try to verify the accurate month as I can.
Death Info:
My grandfather died at just 45 years old from a heart attack, (coronary thrombosis). He also had aortic valve stenosis (possibly congenital) making it difficult for the heart to pump the blood throughout his body. Other medical complications were influenza and pneumonia. He'd been in the hospital for a period of 1 month. Physician's and Surgeon's Hospital, Portland Oregon).
