| Notes |
- After World War II, Lois Michael Morris was active in the Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Doddridge County. She served as its president, the youngest person ever to hold that office. She moved to the Washington, D.C., area in 1949 and lived there all but three years since then. She had lived in her home in Beltsville, MD, since 1957. From 1951 through 1953, she was Branch Chief, Reports Branch, of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Washington, DC, before staying home for nine years to spend time with her children. She was active in PTA and scouting. She and her husband were founding members of the former Beltsville United Presbyterian Church where she volunteered. In 1962, she became Office Manager and Secretary to Chaplain Jesse Myers of the United Campus Ministry at the University of Maryland. She was an active program resource person, financial manager, an advisor to the UCM Board of Directors, and a member of the Chapel Staff. She spoke about campus ministry before congregations of all five denominations and occasionally assisted at worship services at the University Chapel. In 1971, she was elevated to Staff Team member and, in 1974, she became Lay-Chaplain. She retired in 1976 for health reasons and devoted herself to her family and her passion for genealogy. [1]
