Fundraising for a headstone for John Huia Morgan (1905-1975)

$850 of $840 goal

Requesting the Morgans donate to a headstone for John Huia Morgan (1905-1975) in Archer Street Cemetery in Masterton

Wellington

Grandad, Great Grandad, Great Great Grandad and even Great Great Great Grandad to some, John Huia Morgan was buried in Masterton cemetery in 1975, however he does not have a headstone.

With so many descendants, I would like to put this right so he will be remembered by all the future Morgans to come. If we can meet in his honor at reunions, we can get him a headstone.

The goal includes the 5% givealittle fee. If there is interest we can meet in Masterton at a later date for an unveiling.

Use of funds

Towards a headstone from Headstones Wairarapa Ltd for a simple In Loving Memory "name and dates" Dark Grey Granite recumbent desk (350x230x90/40) which includes installation and we have confirmed the location with the Masterton District Council.

We did it. We raised enough and thanks to your generosity I have a bit leftover for flowers too. I am liaising with the headstone company now while I wait for the payout and will keep you updated on the family facebook page. THANK YOU!
