As a child, Lel­ia lived in Mal­ta and McCon­nels­ville, Ohio. In 1881, she mar­ried Charles H. Mor­ris. Lel­ia was ac­tive in the Meth­od­ist church, and was of­ten at camp meet­ings (e.g., Old Camp Sy­char, Mt. Vern­on, Ohio, and Se­bring Camp in Se­bring, Ohio). She be­gan song writ­ing in the 1890’s, au­thor­ing more than 1,000 Gos­pel songs. When her eyes be­gan to fail in 1913, her son built a 28-foot black­board with over­sized staff lines, so she could con­tin­ue com­pos­ing. She and her hus­band moved in with her daugh­ter, Mrs. W. R. Lunk, in Au­burn, Ohio, around 1928.
