George O'Neal was one of the younger brothers of Mary Ann O'Neal, who was featured yesterday. George was born in 1873 in the Creswell area, Lane County, Oregon. By the 1880 census he was shown as attending school. On the 1900 census he was living with his widowed father and two unmarried brothers. Soon before his father's death in 1919 he deeded the farm to the three brothers. His brother John died in 1922 and it was two years later that George married, at the age of 50, in 1924 to Cora Belle Sutton, whose family lived near their farm. George died in 1935, a few months after his brother Edward. George, Edward and James were all buried in the Creswell Pioneer Cemetery, along with their parents, Commodore Perry O'Neal and Margaret Jane England O'Neal.
