Morris Chapel Cemetery, Morris Twp., Ohio.

These tombstone photos have been generously donated by Robert M. Sizelove, Sr., on 13 May, 2012.
This township owned cemetery is located in a nicely cared for, wooden fenced area, behind a very 
beautifully landscaped, Morris Chapel Church, on (TR 399) Hyatt Rd., north west of Develbliss Rd. 
This cemetery is about 4.5 miles north of Mount Vernon, Ohio. My readings for this cemetery start 
behind the home at the south east corner. I have read the inscriptions in rows south to north. 
Headstones are expressed by lower case roman numerals. Each side has been given a different number, 
readings taken from different sides of same memorial are noted.
