Husband of Amanda (Reichwein) O'Neaill. Son of Michael O'Neaill and Mary (Wolf) O'Neaill.
"James O'Neaill, a highly esteemed retired citizen of Mohnton, Pa., and an honored survivor of the great Civil War, was born April 3, 1839, in Robeson township, Berks county, son of Michael O'Neaill. James O'Neaill, grandfather of James, came over from Ireland when eighteen years of age and settled in Berks county, where he spent the remainder of his life in agricultural pursuits. His children were: Harriet (m. Abner Old, of Philadelphia), Katie (m. Patrick McNulty (sic McAnulty) and lived in Iowa), Mary (m. Frederick Homan, died in Iowa), Jane (m.Samuel Bittler, (sic Bitler) and died in Roberson (sic Robeson) township, James (m. Abbie Stafford), Annie (m. Benjamin Wamsher), Hugh (m. Fannie Painter, and died in Robeson township), John (died young), and Michael.
Michael O'Neaill, like his father, was a farmer all of his life, and followed this occupation in Robeson township. He married Mary Wolfe, and to them were born children as follows: Sarah A. (m. John Piersol), James, Mark M. (m. Jennie Lauderbach (sic)), Jacob (m. (first) Hannah Frey and (second) Sarah Jacobs, and resides in Robeson township), Ellen (m. George Geiger, of Geigertown), Hugh (m. Ellen Gorman, of Robeson township), and twelve others, the oldest of whom was two years of age, who died in infancy. This was one of the largest families in Robeson township.
James O'Neaill attended the schools of Robeson township and worked on his father's farm until twenty-one years old. He then went to Reading and found employment at the iron works, where he was employed at the time of his enlistment, August 8, 1862, in Company "K", 128th Regiment Pa. V.I., being discharged May 29, 1862. He enlisted (second) in Company "I" 196th Pa. V.I., July 1, 1864, and was honorably discharged Nov. 17th of that year. His third enlistment was on Sept. 1, 1865, in Company "E", 75th Pa. V.I. In his second enlistment he became seventh corporal of Job Obcock's company, and throughout his entire service he was a faithful and cheerful soldier, performing his duties efficiently and well. He participated in many of the hardest fought battles of the great struggle, including Antietam and Chancellorsville, and was always a brave and gallant fighter. After the war Mr. O'Neaill returned to Reading and resumed work at the iron works, later learning the hatting trade, which he followed for three years, also taking care of his small farm, which he still looks after. Mr. O'Neaill now receives a pension from the government as reward for his faithful services, and resides on O'Neaill street (now O'Neil) which was named in his honor. He bears the reputation of being an honest man of sterling integrity, and has the respect and esteem of all who know him. In politics he is independent. He is a member of Salem Evangelical Association, of which he is now steward, and is also active in Sunday school work.
On May 21, 1866, Mr. O'Neaill was married to Amanda Reichwine (sic), daughter of Cornelius and Elizabeth (Holtery) (sic) Reichwine, and to this union were born: Ellen (m. Walter Weber), of Mohnton, and his two children, Claude and Ralph; Mary J. (m. William Beaver), of Reading, and his two children, Clyde and James; Sadie (m.John Werner), of the firm of E. C. Werner & Sons, Mohnton, and his two children, Alethea and Norman; and Gertrude, since 1902 has been a trained nurse in the German Hospital, Philadelphia. Mr. O'Neaill also has an adopted daughter, Katie Lausch."
