James Rutherfurd Morris

Biography

James Rutherfurd Morris (1827–1903) rests in the family chapel that bears witness to the Morris household’s quiet but steady presence in the community. The chapel and mausoleum were designed to honor both the family’s history and their belief in stewardship, offering comfort to relatives and friends who gathered there.

Though few records describe his daily work, those who tend the chapel recognize him as an integral part of the lineage that kept the devotion to faith and family alive, and the All Saints Chapel and Morris Family Burial Ground remains a place of reverence for his name.
