The Morrow County Historical
Society reports that it has
recently come to their attention
that many Morrow County
people have been buried outside
of recognized cemeteries in the
county and the society has no
records of these sites.
A representative from the
Historical Society says they
would like to have a record of
those graves to be placed in the
museum in the event of inquiries.
Anyone who knows of someone
who has been buried outside of a
recognized cemetery is asked to
notify the .museum or Jean
Nelson, giving the full name of
the person, birth and death dates
and place of the grave.
