The firm of McNeil and Stevenson continued in business until 1930 when Robert McNeil retired and the business was carried on by William alone. The store occupied by him was one built by his father in 1812-13 during the sar and was occupied by him until 1820 when McNeil & MacNaughton took over the business. The same building now (Feb 1860) stands on the corder of the street in the villiage of Coila was originally a story and a half, but in 1846 was raised to a two story building. He continued in business until 1837 .. he was obliged to discontinue business. In 1839 he moved to the farm formerly owned by Patrick McGill where he resided with the exception of a few months during his life.
