Our community was shocked to
learn of the sudden departure of
Charles Henry Morris on Tuesday
evening, July 8, aged 85 years. He
was the son of John G. and Jane
Warren Morris, who resided on a
farm in Sussex county. He followed
the water for awhile, and married
Elizabeth c. Conwell, of Milton, in
1873. Mr.. Morris was in business
here for 25 or 80 years. He conduct
ed a feed and exchange store on
Market street, and later was engag-
ed in keeping general store of dry
goods, notions and groceries. His
last days were spent gardening,
keeping bees, and with his chickens.
His life every day was a lesson Of
industry. He was about his duties
as usual on Tuesday morning and
in the afternoon until about three
o'clock when he was seized with
heart attack that medical aid failed
to relieve. The end came as a relief
from suffering and he went to his
rest willingly, for he was ready. He
was a member of the M. E. Church
for over so years In former years
he was an active member. His bible
and religious papers were sources of
great pleasure to him. He enioyed
making others happy. His was the
hand ready to help those in need.
Many testify of his quiet manner in
which he kindly gave assistance. He
was a devoted husband, loving
father and kind neighbor, command
ing the respect of his fellowmen.

tended. The M. E. choir sang favor
ite selections. Mr.. Morris was an
admirer of flowers and spent much
time with them. His relatives and !
