I took a photo for you of the building I believe you are talking about. It just has the Morris and Leiman name on it. But we ask around to many old timers and they knew of the Neece's and did not know if they had a place in there building caskets. My mom remembers a man working out of the back of that building building caskets. But she can not remember the name. We also ran up to the Miller Memorial cem. where a lot of Neece's are buried. Did not appear any of the grave had been decorated as of Sunday afternoon. But the Lion's club is in that old building. Maybe they could give you some history on it. I will directly email the photo I took to you. Good Luck.
