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.

Elizabeth; d/o RG & N; d. 20 Apr 1864
Lizzie was lovely and fair
And for a while was given
An angel came and claimed his own
And bore her home to heaven.
