Documents photocopied or transcribed

from original archived materials

These pages are definitely a work in progress. I have hundreds of documents I want to place here eventually. I will be adding new documents to this collection constantly, so please return to this page from time to time. I will list the most recent additions here at the top for the benefit of those returning to catch up. I am deeply indebted to Enid O'Brien and Kevin Reddigan who have been a constant source of assistance to me in deciphering some of these old documents. Also, my brother Glen has spent countless hours transcribing meticulously the diaries of Dad Morry, a task that he has picked up from our cousin, Jamie Morry, after his tragic death a number of years ago.

There are many more articles of interest remaining to be transcribed, including all the Morry Papers at the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador (PANL), a collection of papers held by our cousin Fredris Mercer Caines in Newfoundland, a similarly large, eclectic and uncatalogued set of documents accumulated by Aunt Jean Morry Funkhouser before her death and now in the possession of her daughter Karen Chapman in Utah, and all of Dad Morry's diaries and memoirs, held by a number of his descendants, including my brother Glen and myself and our cousin Howie Morry in Newfoundland. All of this will eventually appear here.
