The Ballymena Guardian of 4th July 1919 has two mentions of Samuel, albeit both note death as 25th June.

The first is a 'For King and Country' entry, and says he died at his residence,  Antrim Road.

The second is a 'death' entry, and says he was the beloved husband of Maggie M'Neice, "The Cottage", Tullygarley.

Unfortunately, neither notes where the burial was.

First Ballymena does not have its own graveyard and consequently we do not have burial records. There is a place in the old church graveyard where past ministers of the congregation are buried.

Many families linked with First Ballymena would have had graves out at the old graveyard of Kirkinriola.

I’m assuming this is your Samuel’s widow?

Belfast Newsletter, 7 Jun 1955   
McNEICE - June 6, 1955, at her residence, Tullynamullen, Randalstown, Margaret J., widow of Samuel McNeice.  Funeral to-morrow (Wednesday), at 4 p.m., to Connor New Cemetery.  House strictly private.  Deeply regretted by her sorrowing Daughter-in-law and Family.

Presumably wife and daughter were buried with Samuel?

According to the Braid site there are a couple of McNeice of Crumkill/Cromkill headstones at Connor New Cemetery, but none mention Samuel.

Perhaps they never erected a headstone.  I don’t know if there are any burial records for this cemetery…?
