The remains were brought to Roanoke and rested in the home of Mrs. C. C. O'NEAL [Leona W. O'NEAL, 3 Oct 1849--14 Mar 1920] till the services were held in the Methodist church at 4 o'clock the afternoon of Thursday. The pastor was in charge. Besides the husband Mrs. O'NEAL leaves one son and one daughter, Cloyt O'NEAL and Mrs. Roy PROCTOR. She had been in delicate health for years. This death was the occasion of the third funeral party to proceed from this residence in nineteen weeks, the first being that of Private George Glenn O'NEAL [1 Sep 1891--3 Apr 1919], and eight weeks later that of the father, Rev. C. [Carroll] C. O'NEAL [6 Sep 1852--29 May 1919]. All three died on Thursday, and no other funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church during the interim from the first to the last mentioned. Thus has this family been pecularily [sic] affected. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 20 Aug 1919, p.1] [Mrs. O'NEAL was interred in Cedarwood cemetery in Roanoke, probably in one of the two unmarked graves in the O'NEAL family plot]
