Morris Cemetery

Morris Cemetery is a cemetery located between Trotter's Way and Stouts Road near Mortimer Jordan High School between Morris and Kimberly.

The original section, known as Eaton Cemetery was donated to the community by James Henry Eaton before the Civil War. Another section, called the "Kimberly New Addition" was added not long afterward. Additional donations by George Rogers and Clifton Hill, as well as the clearing of the Church of Christ that adjoined the cemetery and was destroyed by fire in the 1930s. Mrs J. D. Sadler donated a section called "McCurry Corner" and a land swap exchanged part of Rogers' addition for a plot nearer the old section owned by Mark Hill. Another small unnamed cemetery adjoins the property and there are plans to merge them.

A survey of markers in the cemetery was undertaken by Dave Blaikie in 1995 and completed between 2005 and 2007 by members of the Day family.
