THOMAS MORRILL: Pipestone Daily Star

 The announcement in, the DAILY STAR yesterday of the sudden and 

 serious prostration of Mr. Thomas Morrill, was received with 

 universal regret by our people, with whom "Uncle Tom" has lived so 

 many years, and while it was hoped that his condition (though 

 alarming) might not be so bad as reported, yet the worst was feared, 

 and late last evening these fears were realized when another 

 telegram was received announcing the death of Mr. Morrill, at 3:30 

 a. m. yesterday, at the home of his son, A. J. Morrill, at 

 Coupeville, Washington. The delay in receiving the intelligence 

 until so late last evening, is accounted for from the fact that Mr. 

 Morrill's son lives 65 miles from a telegraph station. Thomas 

 Morrill was born in Vermont, September 25, 1822, and was therefor in 

 his 73 year at the time of his death. He lived in Vermont until 

 1852, when he moved west, locating at West Salem, near- LaCrosse , 

 Wisconsin, where he resided until 1879, when he removed to Pipestone 

 county with his family, and located upon a fine farm in Troy 

 township. Here he lived until last October, when he left for, a 

 visit with his son at Coupeville, Washington. Mr. Morrill was -one 

 of the earliest pioneers of this county, and was a favorite of, all 

 who knew him. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his death. 

 His children are, A. J, Morrill, of Coupeville Washington, E A. 

 Morrill, of Troy township, Frank Morrill, the well known Blacksmith, 

 and Mrs. Jos. H Parker, of this city . Mrs. Morrill is at present, 

 at Cedar, Rapids, Iowa, visiting, but has been notified of the death 

 of her husband. Word has been sent to Coupeville to have the body 

 embalmed, and it will be sent to West Salem, Wisconsin, in the near 

 future, and laid by the side of his first, wife, who died there many 

 years ago. The afflicted wife and children have the heartfelt 

 sympathy of our entire people in this Hour of deep sorrow.
