     O’NEILL, O. D., ADDISON, who is successfully engaged in the practice of 
his profession in the City of Daytona as one of the representative osteopathic 
physicians of Volusia County, was born in New York City, September 23, 1880, 
and is a son of DAVID J. and ELLA LOUISE (PEARSALL) O’NEILL, both likewise 
natives of the old Empire State. DAVID J. O’NEILL, who was successfully 
established in the real estate business at Ridgewood, New Jersey, was too young 
for authorized service as a soldier in the Civil war, but his youthful 
patriotism was such that he ran away from home and joined the Army, his 
discharge having been gained by his mother when she presented the case to the 
military authorities and stated his correct age. He became a successful 
businessman, and his death occurred while he was making a visit at Daytona, 
Florida.
     Doctor O’Neill attended school both in Newark, New Jersey, and New York 
City, and at the age of eighteen years graduated from the high school at 
Ridgewood, New Jersey. Thereafter he was identified with business affairs in 
New York City until he entered upon the preparation for the profession of his 
choice. In 1903 he graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, and 
in the same year he further fortified himself by a postgraduate course in the 
S. S. Still College of Osteopathy at Des Moines, Iowa. Thereafter he continued 
in the practice of his profession in Ridgewood, New Jersey, until 1906, when he 
came to Florida, animated by a desire to avoid the severe winters of the north. 
His choice of location has proved most gratifying both in a professional and 
climatic way, for at Daytona, one of the many fair and vital little cities of 
Florida, he has found a home “where every prospect pleases” and where his 
ability in his profession has enabled him to build up a large and 
representative practice. The doctor has recently taken postgraduate work at 
Kirksville, Missouri, and in his professional work he now specializes in 
Electronic Reactions of Abrams, representing the most advanced principles in 
the healing art. His deep appreciation of the advantages of his home city and 
state is shown in his fine manifestations of civic loyalty and progressiveness, 
and he is serving at the time of this writing, in 1922, as a member of the 
Municipal Commission of Daytona, which has adopted the commission form of 
government. He is a past master of Halifax Lodge No. 81, F. and A. M., and is a 
member of the building committee of the fine Masonic Temple now under 
construction at Daytona. His political allegiance has ever been given to the 
democratic party, and he and his wife are active members of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church in Daytona, he is a member of the local Kiwanis Club and the 
Daytona Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
     On the 23rd of September, 1903, was solemnized the marriage of Doctor 
O’Neil and Miss LUELLA MORROW, daughter of WILLIAM B. MORROW, of Midland Park, 
New Jersey, and the children of this union are four in number.
