    Photo of McNeil family, mostly unidentified, at Mary Jane QUINN McNEIL's funeral, Sept., 1910. John McNeil's insert is on the right; Mary Jane's insert is on the left; the large picture is probably Mary Jane as well. Making some assumptions, their blind daughter Elizabeth Ann (McNEIL) FULLER is on the left; next to her is probably Margaret Jane (McNEIL) SCHMIDT (as their oldest daughter Mary Jane (McNEIL) KIRKHAM had passed away previously); Harriet Jeannette (McNEIL) BRADSHAW is the woman on the right. Based on a family history account: "She raised two grandchildren, one the daughter of her son, Joe, her name was Inez Ellen McNeil, (born in 1886). The other was the daughter of her daughter, Mary Jane McNeil KIRKHAM, her name was Hattie Kirkham (born in 1892)." The two young women in front are probably these two granddaughters.
