Name/Title
O'Neal Hotel (Hotel Point)Description
It was operated by Mr. and Mrs. O'Neal (O'Neill). The Pierce family spent many happy weekends, having raveled there by boat from Palacios or by car from Blessing by Collegeport over dirt roads and deep sand (when Oyster Lake was dry enough to all crossing). This was before the Intra-Coastal Canal came to be.
We swam in Matagorda Bay, dodged "cabbage-heads" and consumed quantities of shrimp, "lassoed" by our dad (Abel B. Pierce, Sr.) with a cast net.Collection
