Four years later, his marriage to the beloved Isabella Jane Adelia Hayden, the Methodist granddaughter to Irish Roman Catholic immigrant and merchant John Roach Bourke, furthered Gaelic intersections among Islander cultural enclaves.
Historians continue to research his positions on the 1882 replacement of French-language texts with bilingual readers for French Acadians, late nineteenth-century prohibitions on Canadian Gaelic, and corporal punishment in Prince Edward Island schools.
He also served as Commissioner for the Poor House and as a "trustee" to the public Prince Edward Island Hospital for the Insane, which replaced the Lunatic Asylum following a Grand Jury inquest.

[4] On April 17, 1891, McLeod's Cabinet (Executive Council) requested dissolution in order to facilitate deliberations over deficit spending and what became known as legislative "amalgamation."
Conversely, "poor farmers" frequently sold portions of their herds to agrarian proprietors during winter hay shortages throughout the "amalgamation" critical period.
[8] Fishermen votes for either party were often contingent on seasonal yields and majority governments, particularly during the storms that plagued the industry at the beginning of Isaac C. Hall's 1890-93 stint as U.S.
[9] As Leader of the Opposition, Neil McLeod's dialectics engaged scathing Liberal critique with Conservative support for progressive "amalgamation" of the lower house and Legislative Council.
Although the Roman Catholic Church never established, and the Dominion never appropriated, Indian Residential Schools on Prince Edward Island, scholarly research endeavors are currently underway to determine if any children of the twentieth-century P.E.I.
Most lived and died in the "Bog" community of the Charlottetown electoral district represented by Neil McLeod, ensuring that the obfuscation of Afro-Euramerican offspring and proactive passive citizenship heralded unicameral ideas.
For Mi'kmaq and "African" peoples, as well as women, the legalities of parenthood, guardianship, consent, suffrage, and majority government became entangled in the biopolitics of hyperdescent.
The emphasis on origins, however, failed to deter Neil McLeod from narrating the multipolar transmission of unicameral ideas into the "little" province and its multiple publics.
Early in the third session of the 31st General Assembly of Prince Edward Island, for example, McLeod reassured the House that he would "wait with patience until the measure [for legislative "amalgamation"] is brought forth.
For "Clear Grit" unicameral ideas in Ontario, McLeod suggested that Warburton, Director of the Prince Edward Island Patriot Publishing Company, consult Toronto "editorials in the Globe newspaper [which] might induce him to do with one chamber.
These comparisons frequently ended with exhortations on the Clear Grit movement (including George Brown) and provincial unicameralism, rather than reifications of the 1791 Constitutional Act and the establishment of Upper Canada as a signal event in the inexorable path to Confederation.
"[18] Dominion Minister of Justice Sir John Sparrow David Thompson, a Roman Catholic Conservative, included petitions by Neil McLeod as well as Frederick Peters and his Executive Council in a report on the "Bill respecting the Legislature" to Canadian Governor General Lord Frederick Stanley of Preston, 16th Earl of Derby and progenitor of the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup.
He was most concerned with a Conservative proposition to nullify real estate (including mortgage-holder) qualifications for voting for fifteen of the MLAs into office, "having for its object the liberalizing of the electoral franchise."
In January 1893, Sir Thompson, leery of a Protestant electoral backlash after his own nomination for Canadian Prime Minister, counseled Lord Stanley to "take no action" on the "Amalgamation Bill."
Once the bill became a statute, the Canadian Minister of Justice "may have an opportunity of considering the objections which have been presented thereto, as based on constitutional right and usage."
According to his Summerside obituary, "besides an extremely wide circle of friends and admirers there are left to mourn, a widow, one son, Arthur, now in Florida, and six daughters, all of whom reside in the West, excepting Miss Marie, who was one of the nurses at the front in France and is now home on leave of absence.
"[25] In the twenty-first century, the surviving great-grandchildren of Neil McLeod's six daughters and one son provided personal and public papers, as well as material culture, from the critical period and World War I to Summerside as well as Charlottetown museums and archives.
