Morris, died at the home of his son, Charles L. Morris, at half past six o'clock on Tuesday morning, February 14th, 1899, after a short illness, aged 84 years. He was born in Warsaw January 3rd, 1815, the second son of Solomon Morris, Jr, who came to this town from Hampton, N.Y. about 1806, and had always lived at the old homestead which his father built, about one mile and a half south of the village. His mother was Olive Knapp Morris, who was born in Orville, Vt. He was married on May 2, 1844, to Miss Lucy Bradley of Middlebury, who died on May 9th, 1894, just a week after they had celebrated their golden wedding. It was a singular coincidence that both Mr. and Mrs. Morris should have died away from the beautiful home where they had passed so many happy years together. It will be remembered that Mrs. Morris was stricken with apoplexy at the residence of Noble Morris in this village on May 8th, 1894, and died there the day following, the remains being taken to her own home from which funeral services were held on May 12th.
Mr. Morris was one of the most highly esteemed citizens of this town, winning and holding the respect and confidence of all who knew him by his high character and upright life. The most generous and cordial hospitality was always dispensed at the Morris homestead, and many hearts hold pleasant memories of happy times spend there.
Mr. Morris is survived by one son, Charles L. Morris, one brother and one sister, Noble Morris and Miss Emeline Morris. Owing to the serious illness of Mrs. Charles Morris, the funeral will be held from Mr. Morris' late home on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. N.C. Hyde will officiate.
Deepest sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Morris in this double bereavement and sorrow."

Mrs. Lucy Bradley Morris, wife of Luther M. Morris, died on Wednesday morning, May 9, aged 77 years. She is survived by her husband, and one son, Charles L. Morris. She was born in Middlebury, on March 14, 1817, and was married to Mr. Morris May 2, 1844, their fiftieth anniversary occurring on the Wednesday previous to her death.
On Tuesday Mrs. Morris and her sister Mrs. Burleigh of Wyoming dined with Mr. and Mrs. Noble Morris, and at 4 o'clock were about returning to Mrs. Morris' home. Their horse was hitched in the side year and when about half way from the house to the buggy, Mrs. Morris fell, stricken with apoplexy, accompanied by paralysis of the right side. She was carried into the house, Drs. Kusj and Slaught summoned and the case pronounced hopeless. She died at 7 o'clock yesterday morning without having regained consciousness. The remains were taken to her late home, where the funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Morris was a woman of unusual loveliness of character and won the hearts of young and old. Though quiet and gentle in manner, she possessed great strength of mind and purpose, a fine intellect, and was about all a beautiful home maker. The charming hospitality of the pleasant home over which she presided has been well-known and enjoyed by several generations, and the sweet influence which she exerted has been felt in many a household. Deep sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband, the son and grandchildren, the faithful and devoted daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law, to all of whom this blow is a grievous one."
