Today
is the third of my ancestors, all female, who were born on December
7. Mary Ann O'Neal was one of my gt-grandmothers. She was born 7 Dec
1858, the daughter of Commodore Perry and Margaret (England) O'Neal.
There is quite a complete listing of the “facts” of her life on
my website: http://www.joanneskelton.com/p11.htm#i261
She
was born in Davis County Iowa, moved to California in 1865 and then
to Lane County Oregon the latter part of 1870. She married John
Howard Bond at her home 18 Jun 1876. It was about 1894 when they
moved to eastern Oregon in Gilliam County Oregon with their 5
children, Margaret “Maggie”, Ivy, Perry, Roy and my grandmother
Florence. About 1905 they moved back to western Oregon to Linn County
Oregon. They went farther south to Douglas County in about 1915. It
was there she died 14 Jul 1918.
I
have previously posted some photos of her, but will repost some of
them today.
This
is Mary as a child with her parents.
This
is Mary with her parents and 3 brothers. This appears to be after she
was married, probably the late 1880s or early 1890s.
This
photo of her by herself is one of my favorites. The same photo was
published in a Douglas County History with an article about her and
John.
