William E. Morritt passed through the gate of death into the Land Beyond Sunday, Jan. 13, 1924, after a short illness of heart trouble and other complication lasting since early Christmas morning. Mr. Morritt was born in Asselby, Yorkshire England, Feb. 15, 1860, and in 1882 he came to America and settled in Darlington where he has since made his home.
IN 1886 he visited his old home in England and on returning was accompanied by his younger brother, Singleton, who also remained in this country. Both boys became citizens of the United States.
On Feb. 24, 1887 Mr. Morritt was united in marriage to Rose D. Birkett, and to this union four children, one of who died in infancy. The deceased is survived by the wife, three children: Mrs. Arthur Poole of Darlington, Glenn R. Morritt of Kenosha, and William Dale Morritt also of Kenosha; three grandchildren, two brothers and a sister in England and Singleton Morritt of Iroquois, South Dakota.
For many years Mr. Morritt has been a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen of America.
Mr. Morritt in his forty-two years in this country and as a citizen of our community proved to be a quiet, industrious man. His business brought him in close touch with the greater part of the rural community and his untimely death is a cause for general regret. His ties uniting him to his family have been of the most tender nature and the numerous inquiries for his welfare since he was stricken three weeks ago are perhaps the most substantial evidence of his friendships.
Funeral services were conducted at the Morritt residence Wednesday afternoon, and the interment was at Union Grove Cemetery. The Rev. Lowell Allison Young of the Congregational Church was in charge of the services and was assisted by the Rev. S.E. Davies of the Baptist Church.
