	Born in Cedar county, Missouri, February 16, 1842. Here he resided 
on a farm until 1860, when he, with his parents, crossed the plains to 
California, arriving in Mendocino county September 30, 1860. The subject of this 
sketch went into the redwoods in Calpella township, where he resided about four 
years. He then bought a farm in Ukiah valley, where he farmed one year, after 
which he sold out, and bought his present place, consisting of three hundred and 
sixty-two acres, located on the Anderson Valley road, about four miles from 
Ukiah, where he has since resided, being engaged in farming and wool-growing. 
Mr. Neece married, December 30, 1873, Miss Laura A. Ham, a native of Missouri, 
born in 1857. The marriage ceremony was performed by Mr. C. P. Prather, Justice 
of the Peace. They have two children: Etta May, born December 31, 1874; and 
George Thomas, born March 14, 1878.
