Morris - Butler Cemetery
This cemetery was established by 1845 in the town of South Memphis on 4 acres at South (or Calhoun) and
Main Streets by Walter B Morris and William E Butler.
Memphis was growing and in 1859, when Capt. Joseph Lenow became President of the Elmwood Association, the cemetery was considered a public nuisance. Lenow arranged for all who had paid for lots in the Morris/Butler Cemetery to obtain a lot in Elmwood and the bodies were transferred during the next three years.
