Morris Daily Herald, May 20, 1916
Edward Gettier, one of the oldest cigar makers in Morris, died at the county 
farm last night about 8 o'clock after a week's illness. He had been one of the 
well known characters in Morris since 1861 when he came here from Baltimore.

He was an expert at his trade and a connoisseur in the judging of tobacco. He 
quit the business of cigar making about ten years ago and has done no work 
since. He was about 70 years of age. He leaves a wife and two daughters in 
Morris, Misses Alma and Elizabeth.

The body was brought to the Davis undertaking parlors and burial took place 
this afternoon at 4 o'clock in Evergreen cemetery, Rev. J. H.  McArthur 
offering a short service at the grave.
