JAMES T. ONEIL = M: d.

would some day be a doctor. He
did not realize what il would cost
in time and effort-until later:
but his decision did not vary.
During young James high school
years, which happened also to be
depression years. he worked each
vacation in the mines at Morenci
In 1881 he graduated from Cliff
ton High School and that fall en-
tered the University of Arizona
on scholarship. The, first year
he became a student teacher of
biology and chemistry, but since
he was helping young sister to
take nurses training course,
this did not bring in enough 10
cover expenses. Unknown TO his
family, young O'Neil earned the
funds he needed by becoming a
blood doner. In all, he sold IL
pints OF blood for which he re
ceived S35 a pint In this way, he
and his sister were both able TO
complete their courses-but O'Neil
lost SIS pounds in the process. Dur
ing summer vacations he would
build himself up again, working
as manager and life guard at Cliff
ton Hot Springs. He graduated
from u. of A. in 1886 with B.S.
For the next four years he at
tended Loyola University in Chi
cago where, during the summers,
he worked in the school, as an or.
derly in the county hospital, and
bus boy in a nurses home where
there were 1900 nurses-but only
one captured O'Neil's attention.
Her name was Mary Smardon
and, they were married at the
end of his junior year In the
meantime an older doctor had
taken the promising student under
his wing and DIR. O'Neil began
the practice of his profession with
DR.. A. z. Miller OF Chicago.
His family had never seen his
young wife, so when vacation
time arrived DR.. O'Neil brought
her to Arizona, and she liked il
so much that they decided to
make it their home DR.. O'Neil
came to Coolidge from Hayden
January Is, 1912, and opened of
Ices on Central Avenue. During
the short time of his residence
he has become one of the city:
popular figures in both civic anC
professional life.
