Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at Union Presbyterian Church in Powell for Roy J Neeley, 86, who died Saturday afternoon, September 1, at his home in Powell. He was a long-time Powell resident and former business owner.
He was born on January 12, 1915 in Liberty Township, Findlay, Ohio, to Charles Josiah and Estella Mae (Essex) Neeley. He was graduated from Liberty High School.

He also was a Scottish Rite Mason. In the summer of 1983, he served as a Volunteer in Mission at Sheldon-Jackson College in Sitka, Alaska. He enjoyed baseball, basketball, fishing, four-wheeling, snowmobiling and golfing, and his pride and joy was his cabin on the Clark's Fork.
