As some of you know I have been tracing those MORRISSEY boys in Elkhorn for some time now. My great grand dad was WILLIAM Sr and his brothers lived and worked in your parts for a few years back in the 1850's through the the present. Anyhow, there was the one brother MICHAEL that nobody knows much about. His wife was MARY and he had three kids: KATE: b 1859 or so NEDDIE (EDWARD) b 1863 or so and Mary b 1865 or so. They were all RC and MICHAEL was brother to WILLIAM , PATRICK and DANIEL, some of what can be said were 'founding stock' of Elkhorn. In any event they laid a lot of bricks. I can find them here and there in Walworth County, mainly in Sugar Creek, but in 1880 the girls had been farmed out as servant help to a couple of the local politicos or so says the census. MICHAEL died in Sugar Creek in 1891 and the state and county have his record. Says he was buried in Delevan. Not at St Andrews or so they say. In 1900 mother Mary and the boy Eddie are in Sugar Creek and the girls can't be found. Nothing after that can be firmed up. I found today however in St Patrick's burial book from the LDS folks an EDWARD MORRISSEY, parents MICHAEL and MARY, died in 17 Nov 1917, b 1863 or so. Died in Elkhorn, buried on the 19th in Delevan. Darned if I ever saw that at the County Records in Elkhorn, but who knows. Could I get somebody to look at the Clerk's Offfice and maybe walk across the street to the newspaper and see if there is an obit? Sure would help out and it might help solve a bit of a mystery.
