LACY MORRIS
(Farmer, Post-office, Hagar's Grove).
Next fall will have been 41 years since Mr. Morris made his first camp fire in Shelby county. A mighty change has been wrought in the county since then. On the same prairies where the deer grazed on wild grass are now broad pastures of blue grass, where sleek cattle feed; and in the place of the old horse-mill, is now the handsome steam mill with its patent roller process turning out more flour in a minute than its predecessor could in a summer's day. The railroad has come and the whole face of the country has changed its features. The dense population thrives where formerly all was a wilderness, and handsome towns with their church spires glittering in the sunlight stud the scene. Mr. Morris was from Delaware, a native of Sussex county, and was born February 10, 1813, a son of Ephraim Morris and wife, nee Julia Thomas. Reared in Sussex county, he was married there in 1834, to Sarah Shires, and seven years afterwards he came to Shelby county, Mo. He bought a farm near Shelbina, on which he resided for over 20 years. His wife died there in February, 1861, leaving him three children, who are now grown to mature years, namely: Rhoda A., the wife of John Byron; Sarah E., the wife of Richard Morris, of Pennsylvania; and Lizzie T. Another, Asbury, who should have been included among those mentioned as living at the time of their mother's death, died in 1879, at the age of 39. Mr. Morris moved to his present farm in 1864. April 19, 1863, he was married to Miss Sarah A. Thrasher, a daughter of Stephen Thrasher, of Lewis county. They have two children: Rebecca E., and Olive M. They have lost one, John B. Mr. and Mrs. Morris are members of the M. E. Church, and Mr. M. has been a member 58 years.
