Harley Elisha Morsman, son of Dr Moses J. Morsman, and Mary Margaret Hubbard, was born in Castalia, Ohio, on May 14th, 1845 and departed this life on November 8th, 1924. In the early years of his life his parents moved to Iowa City, Iowa, where he grew to manhood. He had business connections with the Express Company and for a number of years was express manager with headquarters at Sedalia, Missouri.
He was married to Estelle Lyon and was the father of six children, four of whom and his wife are deceased.
He is survived by three brothers, E.M. Morsman, of Omaha, W.W. Morsman, of Los Angeles and Herman A. Morsman, of St Louis. He was a brother of the Dorman J. Morsman, Mrs W.P. Hepburn and Mrs L.A. Porter, all deceased.
He was of a retiring disposition and consequently was intimate with but few people.
To all whom he met he was dignified, gentlemanly and scrupulously honest. For many years he was a resident in the home of his sister, Mrs W.P. Hepburn and many who did not enjoy an intimate acquaintance with him otherwise will remember him in his association with his sister.
On account of advanced years, his brother, E.M. of Omaha, was unable to see him frequently, but was in close touch with him during his life time as were his other brothers and relatives who are at remote distances from Clarinda.
Funeral services were held Sunday, November 9th, 1924, at the Harmon funeral home conducted by Dr A.T. Bishop, pastor of the M.E. church.
Besides his friends and acquaintances in Clarinda, a nephew, R.P. Morsman, of Omaha was in attendance. Interment was made in the family lot in the Clarinda cemetery. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 14, 1924
