The owner in 2006 stated that she'd lived there since the 1950s and that at that time there were 4 gs under the barn, three had been given to the neighbor at the foot of the hill, across the county road, to use as weights on his tractor; the 4th - she meant to put away before it got stolen, but can't recall if she did, or where - she believes the name was "Betsey Morrill" or "Betsey Morse"; it was a little over a foot wide, white marble, rounded on the top; it is probably the gs of Abner Morrill's 2nd wife, whose d. was never recorded anywhere but on this stone. Her daughter recalls doing some rubbings when she was a child, but does not know that any survive. A fifth stone, a footstone 10" wide 18" tall with a rounded top has recently turned up on the Morse farm.
The neighbor's widow showed me the three stones in her shed - 2 footstones, the top half of the white marble headstone for Abner & Abigail Morrill, plus several pieces of broken foot/infant stones of white marble. She has also recently found a veteran's stone w/o dates for Oliver Morse which was apparently abandoned when his remains were moved to Danville Green as the information was carved on the family monument there.
