Ann notes: You will notice that her maiden name is spelled "McNiece" on the stone. Probably, whoever had the stone put there at the time of her death, didn't know how the name was supposed to be spelled. They probably just spelled it the way that it sounded to them. She lived to be 91, which was really old back then.
