The death of David J. Morris, Esq, which occurred on the 17th Inst, has cast a feeling of deep sorrow over the village of Spring Brook and a large portion of the county. Mr. Morris settled in Spring Brook about the year 1840(?), and resided in that place up to the time of his death. At one time he owned almost the entire property which comprises the village. He was in easy pecuniary circumstances and was continually contributing to the confort and advancement of his fellow citizens. His long life has been exemplary for its morality, generosity and unwavering fidelity to the right. The needy could always look to him as a parent. He was always liberal, in his donations for church, educational and charitable purposes. For the past few years of his life he has been a great sufferer, but whenever cheerful through the consolation that he had lived a life useful to both himself and fellow man. He leaves a wife and a large family of children."
