would find Morgan, the oldest granddaughter, going with him whenever she could. As Naymon grew more tired and
unable, Morgan would go and find what he had shot. Naymon was very helpful with his family history and for

NOAH JACKSON MORRIS
NOAH JACKSON MORRIS, one of the oldest and best known men in the Pirkey
community, passed to the great beyond Jan. 14,1928, at his home in his 88th
year. Mr. Morris had been somewhat feeble for some time but bore his sickness
with a Christian's fortitude. Mr. Morris was a charter member of Mt. Olivet
Christian Church having been a member of the old Mt. Union Church in Bacon
Hollow which was the first Christian Church in Greene County. Mr. Morris was
active member of the Christian Church for more then a half a century. In all
he was a member of the church for 60 years, always taking an active part in
preaching services, Sunday School and Prayer Meetings until he was too old to
take active part. Mr. Morris was a staunch Republican in politics, always
taking strong interest in his party. He was always at the polls early and
fought for his men all day. He influence was always sought by men who ran for
county office. Your writer remembers what a very prominent man said of him
once: If he was going to run for a county office he would first find out how
Noah Morris stood and if he was against him he would not run. Mr. Morris was a
man of fine business qualities one of the most thrifty men in his younger days
in his community, being the first man to start a general store in that section
which he successfully ran for years. He was devoted to his family and kind to
his wife who died a few years ago. He was a good neighbor accommodating to
unfortunate people who needed help. He would always help widows and people who
needed his assistance. Men of his kind are rare and more of them needed. His
funeral services was conducted by his pastor Dr. W.T. Walters of Harrisonburg
at the Evergreen Church in the presence of a large congregation of friends and
relatives. His body was laid to rest by the side of his dear wife. The grave
was profusely decorated by beautiful flowers in token of his memory. (I left
the songs and what was preached out.) His grandchildren were his pall-bears.
Mr. Morris leaves to mourn his loss three sons, George N. Morris, James Noah
Morris and Lively Scott Morris all of Pirkey; five daughters Eddie Rachel Via,
Charlotte Morris Gibson both of Alexandria; Malissa Morris Shifflett, Ludie
Morris Shifflett, and Allie Morris Shifflett who stayed with her father until
his death. Peace to his memory. W. A. Crawford.

membership at Mt. Grove Chapel, Church of the Brethren, Dyke, Va. Ola retired
from the University of Virginia after 22 years of service and enjoyed her job
every day with the UVA staff and all the UVA students. She appreciated and
valued the simple things in life with her Lord and church first, hard work,
family and friends. Ola had a beautiful way of making people laugh with her
good sense of humor and she never met a stranger that she didn't make laugh
with her quick jokes. If you knew her, and you were not having a good day when
you came in contact with her, you knew after seeing and talking to her you
could expect that day to be much better for you. However Ola touched your life
with her act of kindness, sharing and caring for each other, she would want
everyone to continue with her tradition. Above all, she loved. A very special
thank you to Pastor James "Jim" Jinks for all his visits and prayers, to Helen
Mundie, Bea Thacker, Betty Johnson, and George Mundy for the compassionate
care and support during her time. Her family would like to extend their

love you and you will be dearly missed. Ryan Funeral Home of Ruckersville is

OLEN WEAVER MORRIS
Olen Weaver Morris, of Ruckersville, passed away at his home on Saturday, April
11, 2020; he was 88 years old. Born in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 28,
1931 he was the second son of Earnest Earl & Mattie Margaret Morris. He grew up
in Albemarle & Madison Counties. He helped his father on the Weaver Dairy Farm
in Madison for numerous years. He worked for the University of Virginia;
Charlottesville Lumber Company and joined USI (Comdial) in January 1961. After
retiring from Comdial, he worked at the Greene Hills County Club part-time
because he 'liked' to stay busy. He was predeceased by his siblings: Aubrey
Allen Morris, Frances Marie Buttner, P. J. Morris, and Bobby Leake Morris.
During the early 1960's Olen was a pitcher for USI, Building & Grounds and then
Stromberg-Carlson soft ball teams. His younger brother, P.J. Morris, was also a
pitcher, playing for Panorama in Earlysville. A June 16 ,1964 Daily Progress
article says that P. J. and Olen played against each other at McIntire Park.
"The long-awaited duel of the Morris brothers in the Industrial League came off
last night at McIntire Park in the second game of a doubleheader. In the opening
game of the night, State Farm outlasted HEW, 15-9. The two Morris boys put on
quite a pitching demonstration in the nightcap. P. J., although the loser,
retired 17 men on strikes. In case you haven't figured, only four USI men made
out some other way than striking out." A USI Company news bulletin reports
"USI's softball team has two "sure-fire" pitchers. Enos Rudolph Roach and Olen
Weaver "Olie" Morris. To date and including last season they have won thirty
(30) games. Now that's some pitching. When these two pitchers are not residing
on the mound you might find them just anywhere. Olie is a Jack-of-all-trades.
You often find him working on a friend's car or truck after supper (speaking of
supper, Olie's wife, Ruth, is one of the finest cooks in this part of Virginia).
He's a top-rate mechanic. Or, you might find Olen laying floor tile for a
friend-just recently he helped his father-in-law, Alex Morris, build a house.
Olie likes to hunt too." On December 27, 1957 he married Ruth Ellen Morris,
daughter of Alex & Vernie Morris, in Ruckersville; they lived in Charlottesville
most of their married life, moving to Greene County in June 1974. During their
life together they had three children. Olen is survived by his wife, Ruth Ellen
Morris; children and their spouses, Olen & Sherry Morris of Stanardsville,
Ronnie & Wanda Morris of Ruckersville, and Donna & Keith Conley of
Stanardsville. He is also survived by six grandchildren & spouses, Amy Marie &
Jared Morris, Shannon Dale Morris & Jessica Smith, Robert Todd & Kelsey Morris,
April Dawn & Josh Salyers, David Benjamin & Candace Morris, Justin Kennedy
Henshaw; two step grandchildren, Jordan Ray Conley and Brooke Allison Conley;
nine great grandchildren, Addison Tucker Morris, Makenzie Grace Morris, Connor
Paige Morris, Landon Cole Morris, Tanner Hayden Morris, Christopher Gavin
Salyers, Logan Michael Salyers, Alli Mae Salyers, and Colton Keith Conley; one
sister, Elna Collier of Crozet; one brother-in-law, Terry Buttner of
Ruckersville; and also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and a host
of friends. He loved his grandchildren very much and was always eager to see
them come for a visit. In December of 1984 he drove to Pensacola, Florida to
bring his oldest grandchild, Amy Marie (she was 3 months old at the time) to his
home for her first Christmas. We will miss and love you dearly. Olen always had
a smile on his face, and he could be seen outside mowing his grass, or the grass
of his neighbors. He like a well-kept lawn and took pride in keeping his yard in
pristine condition. Olen will be laid to rest in a private family service at
Holly Memorial Gardens. Pallbearers will be: Ronnie Morris, Robert Morris, David
Morris, Shannon Morris, Justin Henshaw and Keith Conley. In lieu of flowers, the
family request donation be made in Olen's memory to the Ruckersville Volunteer
Fire Company, Inc., 50 Sassafras Lane, Ruckersville, VA 22968. To send flowers
