It appears from records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that Myrza's birth name was Nancy Myrza Murphy. However, every other source available, birth, death, marriage, census, and cemetery records, show her name as Myrza. Because of that I'll keep the name of Myrza Murphy Morris on this memorial.

From The Salt Lake Tribune (Salt Lake City, UT) - Sunday, October 28, 1945:
Mrs. Myrza Murphy Morris, 83, Salt Lake pioneer, died in a Salt Lake hospital Saturday of a heart ailment.
She was born May 27, 1862 in Salt Lake City, a daughter of Emanuel Masters Murphy and Sarah Elizabeth Alexander.
For many years she has been active in LDS church work and was a member of the Relief Society and Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.
Survivors include three daughters, Clara Trejo, Leta Bushman, and May Saville, all of Salt Lake City; a son, A.V. Morris, Miama, Florida; four sisters, Mrs. Clara Olsen, Los Angeles, California; Bertha Burgess, Mrs. Viola Marcroft, and Eva Simpson, all of Salt Lake City; 18 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
Funeral services will be conducted Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. in the 34th LDS ward. Burial will be in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
