BURIAL RECORDS:

Robert Morton Sr. was buried on 21 July 1933 in the churchyard of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, but there seems to be no record of exactly where in the churchyard he is buried. He is not listed in the records as being buried with his wife and children and is not listed on their headstone, but this may be an oversight. The burial records state that there is room in the grave for one more burial but I believe that Robert was buried in that space and that the grave is therefore now full
