Path of Mt. X. j. Morris.

Taft, January IS: Monday
night, January 8, at half past 8
o'clock, our community was hushed
by a sad and solemn ent-the
death of Mr. r j Morris. In the
early darkening hours his loved ones
drew near his bedside, knowing that
the weary pilgrim would soon enter
the door to another life which has
no end. Here all was silent, a sud-
den stiffness filed his home, IN one
instant had flashed life, death and
eternity, vast and inscrutable, Gods
chosen one had breathed the breath
Of the eternal morning and passed
to The far beyond.
Mr. Morris was born in Sumter
county in lS45 and moved here
when a mere boy. sixteen years OF
age. For fifty years years ne has
been a staunch citizen of old Will
liamsburg. He leaves to mourn
his loss an affectionate wife and five
devoted sons. one son having pre-
ceded him to the untrodden shore
many years ago.
Ever his memory shall linger up
on the hearts of those who knew
him well; his kindly nature and SOL
dierly smiles revealed to every one
the princely casket of purest gems
this dear old Confederate veteran
had stored away. These riches
shall await him in heaven where his
life star hath had its setting and
where Jesus shall place a diadem of
glory upon him who has loved,
served and been faithful unto
death. y
When MIR Morris served his coun-
try he was enlisted in Capt Billiards S
company, stationed at Mcclellan
vile. Here he showed the true valor
of his young manhood years in low
ing his country, her liberties, his
God and fellowmen. Only a few
weeks ago a reunion was held at his
hospitable home in honor of the on
" foursurviving members Of his reg
;ment whom he knew. Some of the
Young folks who also enjoyed the
occasion spent day of laughter,for
time as we'll as years had receded so
RAPIDLY till the jokes of these manly
old soldiers seemed great and were
reverenced for their flavor OF ante
bellum days.
At this meeting, July was
named as their next reunion, but
life's hopes are fleeting and fruition
never yielded, for, alas, today he is
sleeping in Union church yard
awaiting the resurrection morn.
Only a short time after this, Mr.
Morris's life began to rapidly fade
away and soon Gods reaper had
taken him home.
He enjoyed to the fullest extent
the grand gift of life, he bore his
cares up mantully andlaid them all
down triumphantly, even unto the
end, hearing often-times the
still, sad music of humanity
He was laid to rest in Union Pres
byterian church yard, the funeral
services being conducted by MIR
Bedenbaugh. the Methodist minister,
of whose church Mr. Morris was a
member.
His going going away has Scared
the tender memories of many, but
NAV the One who is greater than
we spread with PHYS gentle hands
the balm of his everlasting love up
on all wounded hearts. E W M
