[Scott County]  [Georgetown City and Precinct]

HUGH O'NEILL, Georgetown; was born in County Derry, Ireland, on New
Years' Day, 1846.  When he was seven months old, his parents came to the
Unites States, locating at Lexington, where they lived until 1854, and
then moved to Scott County, locating on a farm three miles from Georgetown.
The subject of this sketch attended the county schools of his neighborhood,
until the attained the age of sixteen years, when he learned the trade of
horse-shoeing, with John Jackson, and Dougherty Bros., of Lexington,
serving five years apprenticeship.  In 1866, he located in Georgetown,
opening a business for himself, which he followed until 1881.  He was shoer
for Colonel R. West for five years.  Among his customers were Dr. Hurst, of
Woodford County; H. C. McDowell, of Franklin County; Keene Richards, who
owned race stables, and James Miller, of Bourbon County, who owned trotting
stables.  He has been a general dealer in horses for fifteen years.  In the
fall of 1875, he went into the livery business in Georgetown,  in the
present stables which he owns.  He carried on a successful business there
until 1881, except during a part of 1878, when he was engaged in the same
business in Lexington.  In 1881, he leased the stable to Mr. Ayres, and
established sale stables in Georgetown, doing a lucrative business in sale
and commission.  In 1870, he married Miss Tee Pullen, daughter of James
Pullen, of Georgetown.
