The Morris Family Trust was bequeathed from Dan & Lois Morris to their Grandchildren in 2021. Dan (lovingly known as Charlie) had a penchant for purchasing antiques & Americana at auctions, a fascination for local history, and an inability to part with anything. Lois cherished the items Dan brought home, and collected her own during her travels through Europe—Together the Morris Family Trust has become a treasure trove of history & relics.

We are NOT historians, only novice family history buffs! If you have any additional information regarding anything you see here, we would love to hear from you!
