Frank Morris was a member of the Evendale Board of Education for 20 years and of the Walnut Hills Universalist Church. Sallie was a member of the Lockland Presbyterian Church. In about 1918, they moved to Hartwell in Hamilton Co., and sometime after Frank's death there on 26 September 1928, Sallie moved back to Lebanon. She died there on 6 Aug 1940 and both are buried in the Lebanon Cemetery as are their parent."
