ROBERT McNEAL
[Welland Tribune, 25 May 1888]
SUDDEN DEATH- Mr. Robert McNeal, one of our oldest residents, died suddenly, of heart disease it is supposed, on Sunday night last. He has been in unusually good health recently, and had his trunk packed to go to Burlington Beach Monday morning. He retired in unusually good spirits at about 11.30 p.m. Mr. Harry Burns and wife, who live in the same house, heard him cry out, “Oh!” and struggle in bed. On going to his room, Mr. Burns found that Mr. McNeal had expired. The body was taken to St. Catharines, where his wife is buried, the funeral taking place Tuesday. A number of Masons, of which Order Mr. McNeal was a member, went from here to take part in the ceremonies. Mr. McNeal was 73 years of age.-Dunnville Press.
Mr. McNeal was the father of Mr. C. McNeal and Mr. John McNeal, the well-known landlords of Port Colborne and Welland respectively.
