Melanie, Thank you so much for this obit. It is so nice to find something of my gg grandmother. Her daughter Martha Patterson who married Benjamin "Irch" Morris were my great grandparents, and they had a daughter Florence Maggie Morris and she married George Washington Jones. It always is so nice to find family every so often on this site.
