Morris family
Norma Morris Smith, writing from Dubuque, Iowa, said that she and
her husband are planning to visit Middletown soon. She wishes to
tour both the Middletown Presbyterian Church and the United
Methodist Church.
She wrote that Samuel Morris, her grandfather, attended the
Methodist church and helped build it. She assumes that his parents,
Elijah Albert Morris and Clarissa Jane Young Morris, also attended
the church, and said that Elijah's parents, Elijah and Elizabeth
Richards Morris, were also Methodists, although she doesn't know if
they attended the Middletown church.
Her grandmother, Elizabeth Hardy Morris, and her father, Samuel
Hardy Morris, both attended the Presbyterian church.
A copy of Grant Heatherwick's "History of the Middletown
Methodist Church" (1963) is being sent to her.
