Thomas A. Morris Is Dead at Rogers, Arkansas
Mrs. U. S. Woods is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Thomas A. Morris, at Rogers, Arkansas, announcing the death of her husband, on Sunday before last. They formerly lived two miles southwest of Hennessey, on Turkey creek, just west of W.T. Brown's homestead, which place they still own. Mrs. Morris sent a clipping from a Rogers paper from which we get the following:
"Thomas A. Morris was born in Birmingham, England, February 4, 1859, and died at his home in Rogers, Ark., September 24, 1905 at 3 o'clock p.m., age 46 years, 7 months, and 20 days. He came to America with his parents when he was 11 years old, and settled at Emporia, Kansas. He later moved to Arkansas City, Kansas, at which place he was married to Mrs. Celestia Freeman when he was thirty years old. To this union were born four children, two boys and two girls. Soon after they were married they moved to Oklahoma where they remained until three years ago, when they moved to Rogers. He leaves a wife and three children, one little girl having gone before him. Soon after they moved to Rogers, Bro. Morris had a stroke of paralysis since which time he has been helpless. He was converted nearly three years ago and with his wife and two of his children, joined the M. E. Church. He lived a faithful consistent, Christian life. He has not been able to walk since a year ago the 7th of last June. For more than 10 months he has kept his bed and at times suffered much yet he did not murmur nor complain, though he often wished he could go and be at rest. He was an affectionate husband and a good father.
A few days ago he had another stroke when he was unable to speak or swallow until Sunday morning about 4 o'clock he revived and asked for something to eat and talked some with his wife and expressed a desire to go. He died in great peace, realizing his condition til the last.
