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. Retiring to Binghamton,
he went into the grocery business and real estate business and 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.
