Jane, Looks like NANCY MORRIS is living in Cave township Franklin County with the Samuel Morris family in 1920. Dale ----- Original Message ----- I am looking for information as to what happened to Grace W. Morris b: Jan 1891, dau. of James Harrison Morris and Nancy Rose Tate. She married David Edwards 15 Aug 1909, Fr. Co. On the 1910 Census she was a widow living with her parents, Harrison and Nancy Morris in Thompsonville, Cave Twp. I have been unable to find anything else about her. I also am not able to find her mother, Nancy Rose Morris on the 1920 even though her death record says she died in 1923, Franklin Co., Cave Twp. Her husband died in 1914 and they are both buried at the Winn Cemetery in Hamilton Co., IL. I suspect that if I could find Nancy on the 1920 that I might also find Grace, her daughter. Nancy also had two sons and I have all the information I need on them. Does anyone have any information on this family.?? Thanks for any help!!
