Frank Luther Morris, husband of Amy Piper Morris, was born in Warsaw, June 2, 1869, the son of the late Charles Morris and his wife, Emma Truesdell Morris. He was educated at the Warsaw High school and the Rochester Business Institute. On graduation he studied law with Myron Bartlett and Son, but soon after went to work in the office of Morris & Company Hardware, then being conducted by his father and uncle, Noble Morris. From this position he entered the office of the Bradley Salt Company as bookkeeper. On the death of his grandfather, Luther Morris, who had always conducted the Morris Farm, he took over the management of this farm. He always took great pride in his home, which was built by his great grandfather, Solomon Morris, Jr. in 1822 from brick made on the farm.
Mr. Morris was a member of Trinity church in Warsaw, and at the time of his death he held the position of Vestryman. For the past twenty-five years he was Chairman of the Democratic County Committee of Wyoming County, and had for six years held the position of Superintendent of Standards and Purchase of the State of New York. He was appointed to this position by Franklin D. Roosevelt while he was Governor, and he continued to hold this position under Governor Lehman until his resignation was accepted with regret in 1936. At that time Governor Lehman wrote the following letter.

September 4th, 1935
Honorable Frank L. Morris
Warsaw, New York
My dear Frank:
I have your letter resigning as Superintendent of Standards and Purchase. Your previously had told me of your desire to retire from public life.
You have served so long and so faithfully that I feel it would not be fair to me to try to persuade you again to reconsider your position...I deem it a privilege, however, to express to you my very sincere appreciation of the service which you have rendered to the people of the Sate during your term..."
