The Morris family were murdered in their own home on 29 September 1879. Their grave is the only pillar stone in the cemetery, under the only evergreens.

Anderson Cemetery near Decatur, Michigan holds the graves of the Morris family, who were murdered in their own home on 29 September 1879.

A correction filed in March 2004 gives the names as Henry and Esther Morris, and moved the listing from Van Buren County to Cass County where it belongs.

Their grave is easy to find. It is the only pillar stone in the burial ground, standing under the only evergreen trees, in the middle.

The tradition is that if you go on the anniversary, the twenty ninth of September, they can be seen beside it.

A family murdered in their house in rural Michigan in 1879 is a matter of record rather than folklore, and the marker was clearly raised by people who wanted them remembered. The date attached to the story is the date they died.
