The Maitland Weekly Mercury (NSW : 1894 - 1931) Sat 21 Jul 1906 Page 5 [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/126629597?searchTerm=%22William%20ONeill%22# OBITUARY. The death occurred on Wednesday at Mount Rivers, near Gresford, of Mr. William O'Neill, a well known, highly-respected, and popular grazier, who had been a resident of the district since his birth, which occurred there 64 years ago. Mr. O'Neill was of a quiet, unassuming, but jovial disposition, with friends everywhere and of all classes, and these he delighted at odd times, by display of his musical gifts, which were many. Deceased leaves a widow, a son, and three daughters to mourn a loss which will be widely deplored, and among other relatives Mrs. Feneley, of the Metropolitan Hotel, West Maitland, and Mrs. John Moylan, of Gundy, were nieces of Mr. O'Neill.
