An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D.,

	HARRY McNEILL, passenger and ticket agent of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, Spokane, Washington, was born in Clermont county, Ohio, December 13,
1861, son of James and Mary (Fee) McNeill. Early in life he moved to Indiana.
There he attended the public schools, afterward going to Yellow Springs, Ohio,
where he entered Antioch College, taking the literary course and graduating
three years later.
	In 1880 Mr. McNeill commenced railroad work for the Chicago, Saint Louis &
Pittsburg Railroad, a branch of the Pennsylvania system. He held this position
until 1886, when he connected himself with the Northern Pacific, and was
stationed at Minneapolis. There he remained until 1888, when he went on the road
for them in the capacity of ticket exchanger. In 1890, when the office of
passenger and ticket agent was created at Spokane, Mr. McNeill was given the
position and has satisfactorily filled it since that time. He is thoroughly well
posted in the details of his department and the information he imparts to the
public is reliable and well calculated to induce them to patronize the road he
so well represents. Mi. McNeill takes a just pride in the road and never tires
of expatiating on the beauties of the country through which it passes, and its
superior and unexcelled passenger service. The interests of the road he has at
heart, and it would be difficult to fill his place should he be called to some
other field of action.
	Mr. McNeill was married in 1887, to Miss Lizzie Campbell, a native of
Williamsburg, Indiana, and has an interesting little son, two years old, named
Kenneth. He has brought his family to Spokane and hopes to make this city his
permanent home.
	Politically, he is a Republican and is devoted to the interests of that
party.
