Francis O'Neill (1848-1936) was born in Tralibane, County Cork, Ireland. He later emigrated to become a policeman in Chicago, where he rose through the ranks quickly, eventually succeeding Joseph Kipley as the Chief of Police from 1901 to 1905. He was a fluter, fiddler, and piper and was part of the vibrant Irish community in Chicago at the time. During his time as chief, O'Neill recruited many traditional Irish musicians into the police force, and also collected tunes from some of the major performers of the time. Following his retirement from the police force he devoted much of his energy to publishing the music he had collected. His 'The Dance Music of Ireland' was first published in 1907, and is sometimes called, "O'Neill's 1001" because of the number of tunes included.
