Born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Morris enlisted as a Ranger to fight the Indians in 1793. He settled in western Ohio two years later. He began practicing law in Bethel, Ohio in 1804. During the following years, Morris regularly served in the Ohio House of Representatives (1806-1808, 1810, and 1820-1821) and the Ohio State Senate (1813-1815, 1821-1823, 1825-1829, and 1831-1833).

He did not seek re-election, instead nominated to the Vice Presidency by the former political party in the United States; formed in 1839 to oppose the practice of slavery; merged with the Free Soil Party in 1848) Liberty Party.

Remember this has a letterbox stamp and it stays with the box

A bonus is the tomb of the Unknown Hunter about 200 feet from Morris. Trust me you can't miss this big rock!

Past lives over the past 10 years in South Western Ohio has been
our way to show we remember those who came before us.
Please remember that a Cemetery is a Dawn to Dusk resting place.
Please look for it in daylight hours.

You will need a pen to write with as the box is just short of
being able to hold one.
