Memorial Wall Dedicated In South Warren

Mayor Bryan Martin joins the Neely family in their dedication.

Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Neely served the community known as Goat Neck (Lincoln Park) for over 50 years.  They owned a cafe that was open for all children as the local bus stop.  Mr. Leroy was born in 1902 and passed away in 1995.  They were pillards of the community.  Their daughter Shirley Neely and her son Gerald and daughter Sophia live at the family residence located at 1007 South Myrtle.

The cafe was located near the intersection of South Myrtle and Cook Streets.  Many Warren residence and those who once lived here have fond memories of the cafe and the Neelys.

Among those honored were Michael Harding, Margaret Tenner, Annette Harding, Cassandra Thomas, Mae Francis Robinson, Jeanette Davis and Calvin Miller on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Miller. All were very supportive of the effort to preserve an important part of Warren history.
