Margaret McNair O’Neal was a Caucasian woman who lived in rural Orange County, North Carolina, who was interviewed by William O. Forster on October 4, 1938 for the Federal Writers' Project. She married Ed O’Neal and together they had five boys, but raised nine children until the time of Ed’s death in 1938.〔http://dc.lib.unc.edu/cdm/search/collection/03709/searchterm/folder_405!03709/field/contri!descri/mode/exact!exact/conn/and!and/order/relatid/ad/asc/cosuppress/0〕 == Biography == Margaret McNair O’Neal, born in 1884 in a house on U.S. Highway 15 in Orange County near the Durham County line, was the youngest of nine children and the only one to live with her parents after her birth. She dropped out of school after ninth grade to plow fields and pick crops once her parents became old. She married widower Ed O’Neal, whom she met at a neighbor’s party and they quickly began dating. They eloped in 1900, and bought a 73-acre farm one-half a mile south of Chapel Hill off of US Highway No. 15. They had five kids together, and raised Ed’s four children from his previous marriage as well, filling their house with eleven in all. Margaret was a member of the United Church in Chapel Hill, but her children were not devout, although they all attended the Baptist Sunday School irregularly. Ed died in August 1938 due to diabetes and angina pectoris which he came down with in 1936. A pension of about $10.00 a month was sent to the family after Ed’s death. The family was in dire straits buy 1938, as were many women in the time period, and was going to have to sell or sharecrop parts of the farm if the children could not get married or jobs.〔Ware, Susan "Women and Minorities during the Great Depression: Women and the New Deal". Garland Publishing, 1990, p. 330.〕 The O’Neal’s medical costs for birthing, Ed’s hospital visits, and general practitioner visits were factors of the financial instability that Margaret O’Neal and her children faced during the Great Depression.
