Research Notes |
6 Aug 2014 |
- Charles Magill Smith ONiell Sr. has been erroneously shown as having a 2nd wife, Alma Beatrice Courts. Her second husband was known to be C. S. O'Neal in the Port Arthur directory, and family only knew him as Oneal, not focusing so much on the spelling. Both men were from Louisiana, about the same age, both worked for Texas Company, lived in the Groves, and both buried in Greenlawn Cemetery in the Groves.
Day before yesterday somebody contacted me thru my site about the O'Niells in general - and then, lo and behold, yesterday somebody contacted me about the Choates - again in general but --- wow! Such a crazy coincidence to get two back to back contacts that brought into focus my great Aunt Bea! I knew her b.d. was August, but not the date. So, it piqued my interest -- what if this was some karma contacting me on her b.d. So, I set out to try to find it.
So, in the process looked up addresses in Port Arthur for her and Charles Magill while he was still married to Lillie -- and her addresses. Things didn't really add up because Lillie died after he but still living at the same address. Also, Charles WWII draft said he was 5'6" and 115 pounds. My mother met Bea's husband O'Neal only once, but she remembered him being somewhat stout, and family knew him to be widowed with children. Since Lillie lived after Charles, then that would indicate they were divorced, but not if she was living in the same house.
Continuing to search for addresses, I found Beatrice O'Neal living on Taft. When I asked my mom, she remembered that street being the street she used to address Xmas cards. It showed her married to C. S. O'Neal. Doing a new search for C.M. O'Neal, I came across his death certificate, showing his residence at the time of death at the same address on Taft, his given name being Cayrden Simmons O'Neal - so there's C.S. We had the wrong husband!
My mother remembered that Grammiere Oberle in Port Arthur handled her funeral, so I called them and they graciously supplied me with the info they had on her.
Alma B. O'Neal
born 8/20/1896
died 3/18/1990 Tyler Co, Hosp, Woodville, Texas
father Helmer Courts
mother Claudia Gentz
2 sisters: Mrs. Joe Douglas and Mrs. Earl Mudd
1 bro Hal O. Courts
Since she is buried as Beatrice Choate, it had appeared that she must have reverted back to her 1st husband's name after O'Neal died; and then her name given as Alma B when she always went as Bea or Beatrice - somehow we had just not found her death record.
But it's all straight now, and I am quite sure this was her contacting me to say, hey, you've had it wrong long enough. Let's get it fixed! :))
I am leaving the workup of Charles Magill Smith O'Niell in my file, though he or none of his line are not related to anyone in my family that I know of. But I imagine the error has been duplicated through others and hopefully this will dispel the mistake. Besides, somebody has already contacted me about this line and found it helpful, so maybe it will help some other O'Niell researchers.
Thanks, Aunt Bea!!
