"Morris M. Smith, Carpenter, b ca 1835 in NY, resided Odessa, d 12-9-1880, age 44 yrs, 11 mo, 28 days, of consumption, fa. unnamed, mo. Marrian, spouse Cnitha O., daughter Gertrude A. b 11-27-1872." (Courtesy LaVonne Bennett).

Morris married Cynthia F. Carleton about 1862 in New York. Cynthia was born on 23 Dec 1843 in Piscataquis County, Maine; died on 6 Jun 1918 in Woodland, Barry County, Michigan; was buried in Lakeside Cemetery, Lake Odessa, Ionia County, Michigan. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

LaVonne Bennett, in April 2000, emailed:

I also found his widow's 2nd marriage: Liber D, page 1; Cynthia F. Smith, 37, of Odessa, bpl ME, on 10-8-1882 at Orange, Ionia Co, MI, marr Cornelius Center, 57, b Orleans Co, NY, farmer. Witnesses were Peter J. and Mary Fellows, both of Odessa.

It seems Cynthia's new surname should be spelled Senters, according to Lakeside cem records. There's a Cynthia F. Senters who d age 74 6-10-1918 (from the great 1918 influenza epidemic?). She d in Woodland, so there's another Barry Co record to find.
