O’Neill, Judge (Vacation in New
York – 16 Aug 1915)
Monday morning Judge O’Neill left for Ogdensburg,
N.Y., where he will spend his vacation at his old birthplace. The O’Neill family
has owned a 240 acre farm near Ogdensburg and on the bank of the St. Lawrence
River since 1798 and it has descended intact from generation to generation.
Judge O’Neill has 60 acres of the farm planted to apples and he expects to pick
some of the fine New York apples while he is away. The first crop from his
orchard was sent to him by parcel post last fall and consisted of two apples, so
the Judge is quite encouraged and hopes this year to have quite a large crop. At
the station Monday Judge O’Neill also refuted the statement that Clark County
was named after the Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and stated that the
county was named after Bob Clark, a local capitalist and pioneer and that many
other pioneers of the county will bear him out in this statement.
