Morrison - Cornelius
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 18 January 1901
Cornelius Morrison was born June 10th, 1822, near Adelphi, Ross County, Ohio, and was left motherless when a child. He came to Montgomery County in 1844, and was married Oct. 29, 1846 to Louisa M. McKey, who still survives him, having long ago passed their 50th anniversary of married life.
To them were born eight children, six sons and two daughters, Will H., Alfred, Frank, Taylor, Ben F., and Charles, deceased, and Mrs. Wilson Sands of Darlington, and Mrs. L. M. Curry, of this city. A granddaughter, Mrs. William B. Paul, of Arapahoe, O. T., spent many of her childhood days in the home of her aged grandfather.
By his death the community has lost one of its best citizens, the family a kind father who did much for the future comfort of his children.
The funeral was held at the homestead at ten o’clock Wednesday morning. Interment was at the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery at Darlington. -s
