DEATH OF A. R. MORRIS
Vine Grove, Ky (Hardin County)  August 31, 1904  (Special)
     A well-known merchant of Big Spring, this county, died at his home there 
this morning after a brief illness of Bright's Disease at age 71 years.
     Mr. MORRIS was prominent in church work, and was an enthusiastic Mason, 
being a member of the Royal Arch Degree.  He is survived by a widow and a large 
family of children, and was the father-in-law of the Reverend D. L. COLLIE, a 
widely known and prominent devine of the Methodist Church.

BIG SPRING NEWS ITEM:
     A. R. MORRIS, one of our oldest citizens, died Monday, August 29, 1904, and 
was buried the following day.  He was 72 years old, and had lived here over 40 
years, and had been in business most of this time.
     Mr. MORRIS had been confined to his bed for 6 weeks, and was a great 
sufferer most of the time.  He leaves a widow, who is his second wife, four 
married daughters and two sons.  He will be greatly missed in his business 
circle, and from the Methodist Church, of which he was a devout member for 50 
years.

"WILL" PROBATED
Hardinsburg, Ky (Breckinridge County)  September 27, 1904  (Special)
     The "Will" of A. R. MORRIS was probated in the County Court Monday.  His two 
sons, Charles and John, were appointed, and qualified for as Executors.




Additional Comments:
I did not find a tombstone for Mr. MORRIS in the Breckinridge County Cemetery 
Book, volume 1, published in 1991.  I did find three MORRIS burials at the Big 
Spring-Corners United Methodist Church, located on the north side of Highway 333 
in the Big Spring section of Breckinridge County, just east of the common corner 
of Breckinridge, Meade, and Hardin Counties.  The town of Big Spring lies in all 
three counties.
MORRIS, John L.  1879 -- 1954
MORRIS, Nan E.   1880 -- 1967
MORRIS, William G.  1896 -- 1956
John L MORRIS could be the son of Mr. A. R. MORRIS.
These 3 tombstones are the only MORRIS burials with tombstones in Volume 1 
cemetery book.
