"Hello again Cousins!" Might anyone of you happen to be researching MORRISON family that was in Graham Co., KS, in 1880? Was finally able to locate the family of Joseph MORRISON, b abt 1829, KY, a family for which I have looked for many years now.

Hi Craig: I am the co- coordinator of Trego county Gen Web Project page & a life long resident of Trego County. My mother was born in Graham County & I have a lot of relatives both buried still living in Graham County. I am in the process of cataloging all the cemeteries in both Graham & Trego Counties. They will be listed on the Graham & Trego Co. Gen Web Project sites when completed. I have never heard of a Steel Cemetery or is it included in the list of cemeteries that I received from the Graham county Clerk. There is 23 cemeteries in Graham County. I will keep my eyes open for your Morrison family. You might keep checking the Graham county site for the cemeteries in the future. Good Luck Gayle M.
