Morton Date Of Photograph: May 5, 2006 Photo can be seen at: http://www.usgwarchives.net/nc/newhanover/photos/tombstones/bellevue/morton32gph.jpg Image file size: 93.7 Kb GEORGE L. MORTON JR. OCT. 11, 1907 FEB. 9, 1978 The inscription on the side of his headstone had become completely obscured by sand. There is a large magnolia tree that overshadows all the Morton/Wilder plots in this area. The soil is sandy beneath the tree and no grass grows there. Additional Comments: In 1910, George Lee Morton, Jr., moved with his family from the Wilmington, NC area to Atlanta, GA. His father, an active Wilmingtonian, had received a promotion that necessitated the move. After his father's death in 1930, he and his mother, Mildred Gracey Thompson Morton, continued to live in the Atlanta area until their deaths. All are buried in Bellevue Cemetery.
