Elizabeth O'Neil, of 1255 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, married to Edward O'Neil, born, May 10, 1896, New York City, age 42, housewife, father, Joseph Walsh, born in Iowa (!), mother, Margaret Langan, born in Iowa (!), died on October 11, 1938 about 3:15 A.M., at Flower Hospital, 1249 5th Avenue, she entered the hospital on October 10, 1938, cause of death, chronic nephritis with terminal uremia, contributory causes, catheia (?) anemia, pathologist report, Adrenal Atrophy, Addisons Desease, buried October 14, 1938 Calvery Cemetery, personal information provided by Edward J. O'Neil, husband. (New York Death Certificate #20472, 1938) Elizabeth was buried in the same grave with her parents and two brothers, both named Joseph. Addison's Disease: "The disease is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both exposed and nonexposed parts of the body. Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and, in some cases, the hormone aldosterone. The disease is also called adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism. Tuberculosis (TB), an infection which can destroy the adrenal glands, accounts for about 20 percent of cases of primary adrenal insufficiency in developed countries. When adrenal insufficiency was first identified by Dr. Thomas Addison in 1849, TB was found at autopsy in 70 to 90 percent of cases. As the treatment for TB improved, however, the incidence of adrenal insufficiency due to TB of the adrenal glands has greatly decreased." Since TB was so prevalent at the time it is highly likely that Lillie's case of Addison's Disease was caused by TB According to Anne Skyeski - October 2013 - Elizabeth (Lily) had Addisons's Disease and was hospitalized with kidney problems many times. 1940 Census 345 135th street, Edward O'Neil 44, widow, telephone operator gas and electric company, Margaret O'Neil 21, Edward O'Neil 19, delivery boy grocery, Joan O'Neil 17, Mary O'Neil 15 Death of Eddie O'Neil He died in March, 1962 in the Bowery of alcoholism and is buried in Calvary Cemetery - Anne Skyeski - October 2013 Other Information from Christine Eagan In July of 2006 Christine Eagan emailed with details on the birth, marriage, children and death of Margaret Peach O'Neil Hermann.

Joan Donovan
On April 3, 2005 Joan Donovan came to a clan gathering with part of her
album of old pictures. In addition to the photos of her parents and siblings above
the album included photos of several aunts and uncles as well as pictures of
some of the cousins of Lillie Walsh and a picture of Lillie's father, Joseph Walsh.

Can You Help?
Because of certain laws, I can only access New York City records up to 1910 for birth
and the early 1930s for marriages and deaths. Consequently, I can only track the children of
Joseph Walsh and Maggie Langan so far. Complicating this problem is the fact that Walsh was a
very common name in the city.
