Chester O'NEILL, widely known as "Cap" O'NEILL, 217 West Fifth street, proprietor of "The Clyde" saloon and hotel died at University hospital yesterday of apoplexy. He was 77 years old, and had been a resident of Kansas City for twenty years. He came here from New York city. He had no family living and an aged sister and her son in New York city are his only relatives. The son, E. D. LAMPSON, came here yesterday to arrange for the burial. O'NEILL became ill last Saturday. He had worked until 12 o'clock in his saloon the night before. Saturday about noon he complained of illness. Charles BRADY, who was in the saloon at the time, assisted him upstairs to his apartments. He grew weaker and became unconscious. Monday afternoon he was taken to the hospital. A number of years ago "Cap" O'NEILL was one of the leading politicians of the North end. As age came on he dropped out of politics. His wife died about two years ago of apoplexy in the same room in which his death occurred. The funeral will be held from the Carroll-Davidson undertaking establishment at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Burial will be in Elmwood cemetery. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
