The SummersideJoumal 1 Feb 1932 printed the following obituary: Death at Prince County Hospital Mr. Thomas MacNeil of Summerside age 60. Mr. MacNeil was taken suddenly ill 2 weeks ago and gradually sank until the end came. He was a native of Tryon, son of late john MacNeil of that place. With his father, he learned the blacksmithing and carriage building business and succeeded his father on his decease. He afterwards came to Summerside and conducted a repair shop and carriage business on Spring Street. He later went to Boston and worked with Henry and Alexander jamieson now of Summerside. On his return, Mr. MacNeil was employed with Hall Manufac- turing Co. Summerside where he worked until about a year ago when ill health forced him to retire. He was of a quiet, retiring disposition, but his many fine characteristics won for him the esteem of a large circle of friends who will regret his passing.
