Hi, everyone,
 
I have a patron looking for any available information about the following artist.  We have already sent a query into the Art Institute of Chicago, but anything you all might have would be most helpful.  This is the sum total of the information I was given:
 
"His name was Ambrose McNeil, though it may have been spelled McNeal occasionally. He was born in 1840 and is believed to have died sometime after 1896 in Chicago. In 1890-91, he was working as an artist in Waukesha Village, WI.  He also was supposed to have taught at the Art Institute of Chicago, sometime in the late 1880s or 1890s."
 
Thanks in advance!
