=O’Neil, Hon. George F.=, Binghamton, N. Y. (Life? member of the
Society); was born in Ireland, and came to America at a very early
age with his parents. After learning the machinery trade in
Binghamton, he went West and engaged in mining in California.
Returning to Binghamton, he went into the grocery business and
real estate business, bought a controlling interest in a
Democratic paper, which naturally brought him into politics. Never
having had any taste for public office, he was, however, named as
a presidential elector in 1892 for Grover Cleveland. He was
appointed a member of the state committee, and served as a
commissioner for the World’s Fair at Chicago by appointment of
Governor Flower of New York. Having confidence in the growth of
Binghamton, he became interested in its progress and general
development. He became a stockholder in the electric light plant,
a director in the First National Bank, and a trustee of the
Susquehanna Valley Savings Bank. He is a prominent member of the
Chamber of Commerce, and attends to his large real estate
investments, being at the present time the largest tax-payer in
the city of Binghamton and county of Broome.
