In 1900 Jepath Gideon Morris owned rural land called “The Morris Homeplace” just outside the City of Marietta, Georgia. The property was along what’s now Cherokee Street, a residential part of the city. His son Fred was a lawyer in 1900, a prosecutor, who became a community leader across Cobb and Fulton Counties, Georgia through the 1920s. Who can I talk with who knows more about “Gid” and Fred Morris? -Doug Pratt, ppr_edp@bellsouth.net and 770.714.9105
