 Mrs. W.J. O'Niel (Nee: Baze) 1868 - ?

Submitted by Donna L. Baze

"Died in Colorado" Monett, Barry Co., MO

"W.J. O'Niel returned from Colorado a few days ago with his two children
and entered them in the Monett public schools.  Mr.  O'Niel  left  Barry
County, with his wife and children last October and  went  to  Rawlings,
Wyoming. In a short time Mrs. O'Niel  was  taken  dangerously  ill  with
pneumonia and died November 24, at Loveland, Colorado, where the  family
had moved from Wyoming. The remains were laid  to  rest  at  that  place
owing to the dangerous illness of one of the children,  which  prevented
bringing the body to Barry County, the scene of her childhood.

The deceased was born in Barry County, at Flat Creek, in  1868  and  was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.P. Baze. In 1886 she was married to  W.J.
O'Niel, since which time she has resided for the most part  in  Colorado
and Wyoming. To this union two children were born, now ages  12  and  13
respectively.

The deceased came of a family of three sisters and three  brothers,  all
of whom, with her parents, survive her. (recorders note: there were  ten
children born to A.P and Margaret Baze.)

From girlhood she manifested those traits of character  that  invariably
commanded esteem and love from all who knew her.  She  was,  from  early
womanhood, a hard and consistent worker in the M.E. Church. Her life was
one of purity, devotion  of  home,  husband  and  children.  The  sorrow
stricken husband and children have the  sympathy  of  many  friends  and
acquaintances.

At the funeral in Colorado the sermon was  delivered  from  the  twenty-
third Psalm, the pall bearers were members of the Modern Woodmen Lodge."
