1920's "Overland" Motor Car
1920's "Overland" motor car in front of the post office at Ucolta; Peter McNeil stands by the car. According to a researcher, Peter James McNeil was born in 1854 and was married to Helen Borthwick. According to another researcher, he was born in 1851 and married to Mary Black, and is the son of Peter McIntyre McNeil who was married to Helen Borthwick. This birth date is confirmed in the book 'Change on Change' by Nancy Robinson, who indicates that he was 22 in 1873. The senior Peter McNeil died in a bushfire in Bundaleer Forest in 1867. Yet another researcher suggests that this photo is of Peter McNeil born 20th October 1887 at Eldoratrilla Station near Ucolta. Peter was a farmer at 'Bundeena 'five miles from Dawson. He died in 1967. Peter was son of James McNeil of Willimbo near Ucolta. James was killed in 1909 when he fell off his horse and ruptured his spleen. James was son of Peter McNeil who was killed in a bushfire at Bundaleer Run in 1867. Another researcher states that the man is definitely Peter McNeil from Bundeena near Dawson and thet the other two Peter McNeils mentioned were his grandfather and uncle. 'The first Peter McNeil (who married Helen Borthwick) died in a bushfire in 1867 at Bundaleer and his Uncle Peter McNeil who married Mary Black died in 1911 in Jamestown.' Peter McNeil in this photo is the researcher's husband's grandfather. This photo, she says, was taken well after the other two Peter McNeils had died.
