Mr. E.T. Morris Death’s Victim
Died at Home Here Wednesday Morning – Services This Morning at Local Baptist 
Church
	Citizens over a wide area were saddened Wednesday morning to learn of 
the death of Mr. E.T. Morris at his home here in Nashville at about 5:30 
o’clock.  He had been seriously ill two weeks of erysipelas and complications, 
but had been in failing health the past two years.
	Mr. Morris, one of Berrien County’s better known and highly esteemed 
citizens, was a son of the late Rev. and Mrs. W.E. Morris, well known residents 
of former years.  He was born and reared in this county and had lived all of his 
life near Nashville, engaging in farming until two years ago when he sold the 
old home place two miles south of Nashville and moved to town.  He was 69 years 
of age.
	Mr. Morris married to Miss Kansas Futch, daughter of Mr. Thomas Futch of 
near Nashville, some 44 years ago.  Mr. and Mrs. Morris established their home 
upon being wedded at the old place where Mr. Morris was born and lived there 
until two years ago.
	Funeral services were held this morning at 10:30 o’clock at the Baptist 
Church, conducted by Rev. A.H. Giddens, pastor of the church.  The floral 
offerings were in great profusion and the large attendance indicated the esteem 
by which the deceased was held in this section.
	Interment followed in the city cemetery, with the Giddens Funeral Home 
of Nashville in charge of arrangements.
	A choir composed of Messrs. E.E. Dorsey, S.J. Baker, N.H. Harper, and 
Mrs. Charlie Griffin, sang the following songs:  “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” 
“Rest for the Weary,” and “How Sweet Heaven Must Be.”  Mrs. Noble A. Hull was at 
the piano.
	The pall-bearers were Messrs. Alton Futch, Cyril Futch, Paul Hancock, 
Hobson Hancock, Troy Harris, and Henry Snead.
	Surviving besides the widow are four sons, Mr. T.M. Morris of Tampa, 
Fla., Mr. E. Tillman Morris of Atlanta, and Albert and Jack Morris of Nashville, 
five grandchildren, Melba, Maxine, and Allen Morris of Nashville, and Betty Mac 
and Judith Ann Morris of Tampa, Fla.  One sister, Mrs. M.A.J. Connell of 
Nashville, also survives.
