  This Cemetery has a lot of history connected to it. It is on land homesteaded in the year 1836 by Nicholas Morris & his half Cherokee Indian Wife Rebecca Ann Cummins Morris. They both lived & died here from the colera, as well as one of their sons, no stone for the son.  He was in the army at the time, came home sick and within three days all were dead. Land is still owned by the descendants.

Census taken Sept, 1983 - Rechecked Sept. 1984 by Bill & Mollie Price.
