Dear List, First, I want to thank everyone for being so willing to help those in need. John O'Brien was instrumental in helping find proof that my great great grandfather had lived and died in Kansas City, MO. He sent to me three seperate copies of newspaper articles on his fall that led to his death. Again, thank you John. I am still searching for his place of burial. From living family accounts I believe that he was buried in KC. His wife later moved back to the Cleveland, OH area to be near her family to help raise her children. Martin MORRISON lived at 1209/1215 Independence Ave. He died on March 26, 1890 due to a fall from a second story window. He had been a "well known grocer" and was "quite well to do." He left a wife, Anna O'Brien Morrison, and 5 or 6 children. The family's religion was Roman Catholic. Would anyone on the list know where he was buried? Could you head me in the right direction as far as online searches? Thank you in advance, Denise S. in NJ DSNJ004@aol.com

Denise ...... good news. I found more info about Martin! I'll mail you a copy of the newspaper item. In the meantime, here is a transcript: "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Monday, March 31, 1890 The remains of Martin MORRISON, who was killed on Tuesday, by falling from a window in the second story of his building, at No. 1215 Independence avenue, were interred yesterday, in Mount St. Mary's cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Father LILLIS, in St. Patrick's church, corner of Eighth and Cherry streets, at 9 o'clock a.m. A large number of the friends of the deceased and about 100 members of the A. O. U. W. accompanied the casket containing his remains to the grave. ----- Original Message ----- From: <DSNJ004@aol.com> To: <MOJACKSO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2004 9:31 PM Subject: [MOJACKSO] Martin MORRISON, Burial? > Dear List, > > First, I want to thank everyone for being so willing to help those in need. > John O'Brien was instrumental in helping find proof that my great great > grandfather had lived and died in Kansas City, MO.
