“Will you do me the great fa-
vor of putting me III touch with
the family of John W. McNaill
who was a citizen of your city
q'n.i countv for a numl>er of years.
He died in 1914 apd. I learn that
his children have scattered over
the county. He married Mlar
Nina Milner in 1887. He had nine
children, some of whom, I learn,
are married. I name a few of
them: Moms, falter, Sidney and
Heber H. j ‘ . .
“We Have ig clipping from your
cxcellert. paper giving an ac-
count of his life and death, which
we pr\ze very Ughly.

eighty one years of a**. ,1 am
getting all the families reaching
back to Malcolm McNeill of the
Revolutionary War, 1776.
“You will do me a very (treat
favor if you will put me in
touch with h!s widow and two of
his sons.
“Thanking you for this favor,
I am.
Sincerely yours,
Rev. H. H. McNeill, D. DSc_
