Morse Cemetery. .

The headstone base
in the photo to the left which is located in the overgrowth to
the left of the driveway in the photo above (just above the mail box)

If you look at the plat map, you'll see that about a quarter of the cemetery was paved over to make South Wynden Way and other chunks were carved out to make way for the residence and townhomes on either side. There are active lawsuits going on now and I sure hope this

In email to me of 11 July 2004: "Lovett C. Taft, son of Lovett W. and Betsy Taft, was b. ca. 1829 in Berkshire Co MA. Sometime between Aug 1850 and Jul 1857, he immigrated to Harris Co TX. He married Elizabeth A. MORSE (dau of Ager Tomlinson and Grace G. Morse, Lowndes Co MS) on July 15, 1857. Names associated with the Cemetery are BRAGG, GRANT, McFEE, MORSE, TAFT." My thanks to Trevia Wooster Beverly for this information.
