married in April 1857 in Somerset, PA

from an unknown obituary source:
"Virginia Lichtenberger Morrison's life ebbed peacefully away in the presence of her sons and near relatives at her home in Bradshaw [Nebraska] Saturday evening at 6:30 o'clock. She had been ill for some months. She was the age of 78 years, 3 months, 20 days. Virginia had lived in Bradshaw for 45 years and did much in the up-building of the town and uplifting of the social life. Her nickname in latter years "Grandma Morrison" always carried with it an influence for right ideals and right living. She was an honored member of the Order of the Eastern Star in Bradshaw. All the businesses in town were closed out of respect on the day of her funeral, which was held at the Christian Church. Pastor W.A. Baldwin gave the sermon. She was preceded in death by her parents and five of their nine children. Three brothers and a sister were still living: Samuel R. Lichtenberger, Alfred S. Lichtenberger, Edmund R. Lichtenberger, and Mary Hogan. Six of her sons were pallbearers, George, Lee, Alfred, Fred, Joe, and Sam. All of her children survived her save her baby girl, Anna, and her eldest son, Harry, who passed away at the age of 24 years."
