Obituary
Cullman Tribune - 24 Dec 1891
Holly Pond, Ala, Dec 22, '91. We are called upon to chronicle the death of Benjamin Morris, which occurred at his home in Holly Pond, on the 17th inst at 8 o'clock. He leaves a wife and one daughter who is blind, with several other children who are married and not at home with the family. Mr Morris was 76 years of age, and was highly respected by those who knew him. He lived many years in Georgia, and one year ago sold his home in that State and moved out and bought land near Holly Pond, and erected a fine dwelling and moved into it just a few weeks before his death. To be associated with him was a pleasure to those who were fortunate enough to have that privilege.
