Morse Reunion / DAR Ceremony On Saturday, April 27, 2002 the descendants of Ebenezer and Agness (Spiller)Morse met at the Caldwell County Ambulance Community room, for a reunion, hosted by Frank & Rose Ann (Beckner) Morse. A program was presented by Colleen Norman and Debbie McCardle on the life of Eb and Agness and their children, with many new facts about the family found during their research the past year. Each family member received a copy of a report of Colleen & Debbie's research. Then a break for lunch and a time to visit. We all had a chance to check out or buy books from various authors. Brenda Joyce Jerome, who has several Caldwell County books such as Caldwell County Vital Statistics Births 1852- 1910 and Caldwell County, Kentucky Vital Statistics Deaths and many others including her Western Kentucky Journal which is always filled with new things. Gregory Watson was there, he has two books on cemeteries in Caldwell, also several family histories, including his latest offering on the Jacob Sigler Family. Then group pictures were made and off we went to the cemetery. The DAR ceremony was presented by the Caldwell County Chapter and was also attended by some state DAR members. The ceremony was very moving and a bronze plaque was unvieled recognizing Ebenezer's service during the American Revolution. We were all once again amazed at the difference one man can make when he decides to do something. Frank has cleared and cleaned the little cemetery, found and uncovered stones and repaired and set them up right. When you hear of so many cemeteries being destroyed, it's great to see young people like Frank and Rose Morse take this much interest in their/our heritage. Everyone seemed in favor of another reunion next year.
