Mar 28, 1884 Warren Ledger
Death of Rice Morrison
Died at Corydon, March 20th , 1884. Rice Morrison in the 86th year of his age. Deceased was born in Lycoming county, Pa., the 11th of December 1798. In 1801 his parents removed to Warren and remained there until about 1817 when they came to Corydon. September 18, 1822 he was married to Miss Dolly Richards in whose loving companionship his joys were doubled and his sorrows divided for 61 years.
Of their six children only three are living, one son and two daughters. Deceased united with the M.E. church in 1837 of which at the time, J. Gilmore was pastor. He was the eldest of eleven children, and only two survive him, his sister Mrs. Ann Leonard, of Kinzua and his brother Henry Morrison of Warren.
"Uncle Rice" was an enthusiastic adherent to the Democratic party all his life, and a subscriber to the Ledger for over thirty years. An honorable man, an affectionate husband, a loving father, a just and kind neighbor and a faithful friend has departed and what can we do but weep, in the deep shadow of the separation which has fallen upon us. The memory of every kind word and gently smile makes our hearts ache anew as we realize that from him we receive them, never again, but
We trust our friend awaits us yonder at the gate
Then let us all be ready, for we know its getting late
Let our lamps be brightly burning; let's raise our voice and sing;
Sure we'd meet to part no more in the palace of the King.
