The death of Harry P. Morrison, on
Sunday evening, cast gloom over the
entire community. He had been sick
but three weeks, and rather delicate
constitution was unequal to the strain of
that enervating disease-typhoid fever,
and though his physicians succeeded in
mastering the fever, weakened heart
failed in the crisis. and death came. His
death is all the more sad because it fol.
lows so soon after that of his father and
his aunt, the three being buried within
three months. He was a young man,
not yet thirty years of age, and gave
promise of a useful and honored life. He
began life at the printers case, learning
the "art preserv ative" in the Office of the
| Sunbeam, under the tutorship of Robert
| Gwyne, ST., who has turned ont num-
| ber of good printers and men to adorn
the various walks of life. From here, IN
| 1888, he entered the Salem National
Bank as a clerk, and by his ability and
!, fidelity he gained the confidence OF the
officials, and at the time of his death he
was bookkeeper and one of the priced
and trusted employees of that institu
tion. He had filled the position of City
Recorder since 1890, and was also treas
urer of Fenwick Lodge, No. 164. l. o. o.
F., and Salem Encampment, in all of
which positions he discharged the
duties with the same care and fidelity.
At the death of his father, the late
George r. Morrison, he was made ad-
ministrator of the estate, and also took
his place as receiver of T. Dunn & Co.,
both positions entailing considerable
extra labor upon him, and being unwell
at the time, he additional strain most
likely hastened his illness. He was
genial in disposition and generally popu
lar among his associates, and there is
genuine sorrow at his early death.
