Death of J.A. Morrison

People of this city were much surprised and pained to learn that J.A. 
Morrison was dead. Mr. Morrison had been suffering with what appeared 
to be ear trouble for several days and on Thursday he was taken to the 
N.P. hospital located at Brainerd where he grew much worse and on 
Saturday he passed away from hemorrhage of the brain. The remains 
were brought home on the night train and the funeral was held Monday 
afternoon from the Methodist church. 
James Andrew Morrison was born in Charleston, W. Va., March 22, 1851. 
He was married June 18, 1877 to Georgia Rice at Taylors Farm, Minn., 
was the father of thirteen children; two of whom died in early 
childhood. Moved with his parents to
southern Minnesota at the age of eight years and has been a resident 
of this state practically all of his life, and a resident of this city 
for the past eleven years where he has been in the employ of the 
Northern Pacific railway company. 
Deceased is survived by a wife, nine grandchildren, eleven children, 
three sisters and three brothers.
In his earlier life he was a member of the Church of God but since
moving to Staples he did not unite with any body but was an earnest 
worker in anything that pertained to the building up of Christ’s kingdom.
