HI
Is there someone out there who could do a lookup for me? My gg grandfather was URA R
(possibly Reuben) MORRIS. He was born in Ohio in March (Maybe the 12th) 1867 to William
and Mary (Lloyd) Morris.
I would like to find out when and where he died.
I have been told he may have died in Auburn (DeKalb Co IN) at the hospital, but do not
know. He has been and continues to be my most sought after "brickwall". I know
he was alive in March of 1922, in Defiance County OH, as he reported the death of his
wife, so I figure he died between 1922 and 1945, just don't know where or when.....
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
thanks
