JEROME MORRIS
Sunday afternoon, Oct. 29, 1933, about 3 o’clock, the automobile in which Jerome
Morris was riding was pushed too near the side of the road by another car and
was suddenly upset, instantly killing Jerome, but not seriously hurting any of
the other occupants. Jerome will be remembered by many who knew him when he
lived here and went to school. He will also be remembered as the boy who said a
fine recitation at county Sunday-school convention, which made quite an
impression upon the audience. He was a boy of more than ordinary talent,
possessing rare qualities of the higher and nobler things of life. He would
never condescend to do anything that was not right. Whenever he was in a crowd
where boys would differ and begin to get angry, he would speak out and stop it
in some way. He married a beautiful girl in Morgantown, W. Va. whose name was
Thelma Conner. To that union three children were born, Richard Jerome, Dale and
Barbara. May the good Lord ever care for them. It was somewhat singular that he
was buried on his 23d birthday in the presence of a large concourse of people
consisting of his parents, grandparents, brother, sisters, relatives and
friends. His body was tenderly laid to rest in Beverly Hills Memorial Park there
to await the call of Gabriel at the last day. Written by His Grandfather, W. A.
Crawford.

occasion he was a short distance from his camp and saw a light in an old house

several yankees therin. Quick as a flash he demanded their surrender and they
believing other men were on the outside gave up their arms and he turned them
over to his superior officers. Mr. Morris was in his 96th year. He left Greene

LAYTON MORRIS
THE DEATH RECORD
The whole community was shocked last week to hear of the sudden death of Layton
Morris, who departed this life at 11 o’clock Thursday night, March 1, 1923, age
55 years. Mrs. Morris was paralyzed Wednesday afternoon and his speech left him
entirely at midnight and he never spoke again. He was apparently well up to the
time he was taken ill with the exception of a slight illness occasionally. Dr.
W. A. Kyger was hurriedly called, but could not render any help. Mr. Morris was
a good man and useful citizen. He was born May 13, 1868. He was always on the
side of right, one of the first men for peace in his community and it was his
delight to try to settle any trouble that might arise between neighbors. True to
his church, he will be missed in this community. By hard work an good management
and the help of his good wife, he had build up a nice home for his wife and his
children. When you went to Layton Morris’ house you went to a real home, where
love abounded, where children had been trained up the way they should be
trained. In his home no unkind words were spoken and children were trained up to
obey father and mother. Mr. Morris had been one of the leading members of Mt.
Olivet church for about 40 years, holding an official position at the time of
his death. The last time he attended church was Sunday night. Better lights were
needed and it was discussed and a motion made to buy better lamps. He seconded
the motion with a speech of approval. The lamps have been ordered, but he will
not need them. However, the people will remember him by the lights they will
render.
Mr. Morris leaves his aged mother, Mrs. Hiden Morris, his devoted wife (nee
Crawford) and five children – Vernon Morris, Clarisa Morris, Alphons Morris,
Wilbert Morris and Fred Morris – all at home to mourn his loss, and who will
miss a husband’s kind affection and a fathers good advice and counsel. He left
five brothers and three sisters – H. H. Morris, road commissioner of Greene
county, E. S. Morris, of March; Frank Morris, of Geer; George and Lawrence
Morris, of Vienna; Mrs. Matilda Baugher, of Lacey Spring; Mrs. L. E. Morris, of
Dyke, and Mrs. Barbara Knight, of Washington.
Mr. Morris was an industrious man and always busy in a quiet way. He was a good
neighbor, as was attested by the large concourse which attended his funeral. The
service was conducted by request by Rev. S. L. Baugher, of Lacey Spring, who
married Mr. Morris’ sister. The funeral was a solemn one, to see husband and
wife, father and children, separated, is one of the trying things of this life,
but such is life, and we have to bow to dispensations we cannot help or
understand. The mysteries of this life are deep and hard to understand some
times, but we will know some day. The pall-bearers were: Messrs. Andrew Morris,
B. G. Snow, W. A. Crawford and Clarence Snow. Mr. Morris was laid to rest in Mt.
Olivet cemetery. Prof. Bollinger, of the C.B.I.S., led the singing at the
church, and Elder C. M. Driver at the grave.
Written by one who knew him from boyhood till his departure to the great beyond.
