Morris Cemetery

Lafayette Township Section 7

More than 20 persons are buried here. It is impossible to give an exact number as the inscriptions on some of the stones were in memory of more than one person, inscriptions on two were illegible and there are possibly more stones sunk into the ground that were not found. Burials appears to have been made here from 1850-1906.

An angel came and claimed his own

And bore her home to heaven.
