Morrison Ruritan presents new ornament
ornamentWEB
Morrison Church of Christ ornament.

The latest edition to the list of Morrison Ruritan’s Christmas ornaments is the Morrison Church of Christ. The church building, built in 1914, is located at the corner of South Main and King Street. The congregation was established in 1895 as an outreach of the Old Philadelphia Church of Christ, which began about 1800 in the Vervilla community. The concrete blocks used in the construction were made on site. Other than minor changes to the bell tower, and an addition of classrooms, the building is much as it was originally.
A shipment of the first ornament, the Old Mill, has arrived. Those are available for $14. The Morrison Church of Christ, Old Morrison School, Train Depot, The Roger’s House, Ed Wood Service Station and Library and Barber Shop ornaments from previous years are also available for $12 each.
The keepsake ornaments make wonderful gifts and are available at Morrison City Hall, Morrison Hardware, Barber Shop, Youngblood’s Service Station, Morrison Library and at the Warren County Trustee’s office.
