Great! Thanks, Jennie both for buying the $.75 book and for sharing with all of us! Eliza A. Heriford was Eliza Ann Sexton, second wife of Andrew Jackson Morin. They were married in 1870, after the death of Andrew's first wife. Eliza and Andrew had 2 sons, Charles Edward and George Washington Morin. In Nov. 1875, the family was returning to Mercer Co. from Jennings Co., IN. when Andrew fell in a mine shaft while looking for water and died. Guess obituaries in those days didn't mention previous marriages. Thanks again! -Judy In a message dated 12/30/2001 6:10:40 PM Central Standard Time, backwood@grm.net writes: > Next, is a short obituary as follows: "DIED.
