BURIAL:
Per 2006 interview with Fred Charles Badger (b.1911), there was a Morse/Winn cemetery behind his uncle's Barn near the southern end of what is now called Winn High Drive, the place labeled "Mrs. Morse" on the 1850 Walling map.
He said when he was a boy [ca.1918], "all stones were down and my uncle mowed the hay on it, raking it down the hill to load on the wagon;... it was on a little rise above the swampy area behind the barn".
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; 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.
It is possible that Abner is the brother of Mrs Morse, which would account for his burial with her family; the remains of the Morse family were removed to the Danville Green Cemetery Nov 08 1907; but the Morrill in-laws were apparently left behind.
