SPLENDID CITIZEN
HAS PASSED AWAY

Daniel Morrison, one Of the pioneers
OF Paw Paw township. died suddenly
last Monday morning. He had seldom
known sick day and was apparently
in perfect health. His death came as a
great shock to the community.
Monday morning after breakfast, as
was his daily custom, he went to the
post office and was on his way home
when stricken. He fell to the cement
walk but arose and walked another
block, where he was found by Mr.. Kirk
wood leaning against tree. He told
Mr. Kirkwood that he was all right and
started home, but stopped at the home
OF his sister, Mrs. NJ FL. Bangs, to rest
and wash the blood from his face, which
was flowing from bruise, the result OF
his fall. Having finished this he sat
down. His sister noticed that some
thing serious was the matter and hastily
summoned a physician, but he was
breathing his last and it was OF no avail.
Deceased vas born east of the village
of Paw Paw, August 10, 1852, and Paw
