Copies of the Congressional Directory with names of recipients (family members) on the front of each - George Franklin Neal, Nora Kate Neal (probably Katherine), and John 0. Neal. A family Bible in the possession of Mrs. Virginia Murphy indicates that John O'Brien Neal was born in 1874, two years earlier than the generally accepted date of birth. When he wrote letters to his sisters he signed them John Neal (Box 3, Folder 1). A letter of recommendation indicates that by 1895 he had adopted the middle name of his father as his own.
