From Hope Star-Journal Obituaries, p. 188:
Friday, November 8, 1918
Morris M. Cohee died Thursday at the Bartholomew Co. hospital, age 73.He lived at Grammer.One son, who is in the U.S. Marines, survives.Funeral service was Sunday at the Grammer Presbyterian Church with burial at Old Vernon.
(My note:"Old" Vernon is presumably the town of Vernon in Jennings Co., the next county south of Bartholomew.There is quite a large cemetery there.)
