    1. [ONEALL-L] Civil War O'Neal
    2. I found this article in my continuing study of my O'Neals in the War of the Rebellion. Does JWC fit into anyone's branch? John O'Neal Embreeville, PA Gettysburg Pa., March 13, 2000 -- Photographs of 25 Gettysburg citizens who endured the hardships of war in their home town are now on exhibit at the Gettysburg National Military Park Visitor Center. To focus in on the stories of the townspeople of Gettysburg and their struggles throughout the battle in 1863 and its aftermath, the National Park Service has created a new exhibit called the Civilian Wall of Faces. The exhibit features 25 men and women, young and old, black and white, who cared for the wounded, provided food and shelter, and buried the dead when the time came, one of whom was killed in the battle. Dr. J.W.C. O'Neal: (1821-1913) corner, Baltimore & High St. A Virginian by birth, and a one-time Pennsylvania College student, he had earlier responded to the medical emergency after Antietam. Since Confederates at Gettysburg were hastily or carelessly buried, O'Neal decided to record their burial sites, to the dislike of some local folks.
