Death Of James H. Morris

James H. Morris, long a familiar figure to the older residents of the county, is no more. He died last Thursday afternoon. His death was unexpected. For many years he has carried on a general country insurance business and he was on one of his regular trips. The storm, Thursday afternoon, overtook him within two miles of Chelsea and he drove into a'barn, got out of the buggy and while getting ready to start for the house he dropped dead of heart disease. He was born in Springfield, Windsor county, Vermont, November 20, 181 1. He carne to Detroit before the forties. For three or four years he was a resident of Monroe county. He removed to Ann Arbor and for a great many years was a boarder at the Cook house. His wife died in 1860. He had no children and since his wife's death he had lived alone. His only surviving brother is Judge Governeur Morris, of Monroe. He had an extensive acquaintance in every part of the county and he kept a record of the number of miles he travelled, which showed that he had driven the horse he had at the time of his death over 29,000 miles. The funeral services were held at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, Rev. W. O. Waters officiating. The honorary pall bearers were Ex-Gov. Alpheus Felch, Hon. John J. Robison, Benj. Brown and Capt. MeGilvray.
