B. F. O'Neal, Jr.
Benjamin Franklin O'Neal, Jr., known as B. F. O'Neal, Jr. (June 23, 1922 – April 29, 2004), was a Shreveport businessman and a pioneer in the development of the modern Republican Party in the U.S. state of Louisiana. O'Neal was a member of the Caddo Parish Police Jury (now the Caddo Parish Commission) from 1964 to 1968 and the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1972 to 1988.
==Background==
O'Neal was born in Shreveport to Benjamin F. O'Neal, Sr., (1889–1968) and the former Abbie Hendrick. O'Neal's grandfather, also Benjamin Franklin O'Neal of Benton, was the sheriff of Bossier Parish from 1871 to 1877,〔Lt. Bill Davis, Public Information Officer, List of sheriffs since 1843 of Bossier Parish, Louisiana〕 and thereafter the U.S. marshal for the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. The grandfather was a delegate to the 1900 Republican National Convention, which renominated President William McKinley and then New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt for vice president. The grandfather died in New Orleans in 1910, while he was visiting a son. Hence, unlike most Louisiana Republicans, who were former Democrats, O'Neal came from an old Republican family. B. F. O'Neal, Sr., was involved in real estate and property development and from 1910 to had been the advertising manager of ''The Shreveport Times''. O'Neal, Jr., had two older sisters, Mary Steele Cooper and Jane Hendrick Kleine, both of whom died in 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Benjamin Franklin O'Neal, Sr. )〕
O'Neal graduated from Southern Baptist-affiliated Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Thereafter, he enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps Reserve, forerunner to the Air Force.〔"Louisiana: O'Neal, B. F., Jr.", ''Who's Who in American Politics, 2003-2004'', 19th ed., Vol. 1 (Alabama-Montana) (Marquis Who's Who: New Providence, New Jersey, 2003), p. 790〕 After flight training, he became an instructor in the pilot training program and, later, he was assigned duty as a pilot for the commander of the Western Flying Training Command. He was released in 1946 as a first lieutenant.〔
He returned to Shreveport after World War II and entered the real estate business with his father in the firm known as "B. F. O'Neal & Son, Realtors." In 1960, he was elected president of the Shreveport-Bossier Board of Realtors and was named "Realtor of the Year." He was a vice president of the National Association of Realtors and was a member of the "Build America Better" Committee.
