    Froome Morris, whose name is well and favorably known to the people of
Cincinnati, is a prominent practicing attorney, of broad and practical ability,
thorough, determined, alert, versatile, and resourceful. He is an Ohio man, both
by birth and, to a considerable extent, by education. He was born at Cincinnati,
May 17, 1870, and his boyhood and youth were passed in much the same manner as
those of other city boys: his primary training in an educational way coming
through attendance at the graded and high schools. After his graduation from
Hughes High .school, he was sent to Amherst College, from which he received the
degree of Bachelor of Arts as a member of the graduating class of 1893, and
subsequently he settled down to the study of his chosen profession at Cincinnati
Law School. January 1, 1894, while he was still a student at that institution,
he entered the office of Bateman & Harper, attorneys of Cincinnati, and after
his graduation, in 1895, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws, Mr. Morris
remained in this firm until January, 1906, when he associated himself with Judge
William Littleford, and subsequently became a member of the firm of Littleford,
Morris & Ballard. January 1, 1901, Mr. Morris was appointed first assistant
prosecuting attorney of Hamilton county, under Harry M. Hoffheimer, in which
position he remained until January, 1909. At that time he opened an office of
his own, and has since been engaged in an independent practice, general in its
nature, with his offices at present at 1408 Traction Building. In 1908, he
became the candidate of his party for the office of prosecuting attorney, but
met with a strong opposition and was defeated at the polls although his
comparative showing with those of others of his party was exceptionally good. In
1915 Mr. Morris was appointed a special assistant to the attorney general, a
position in which he discharged his duties ably. He now controls a large and
influential clientele, and his name is frequently associated with litigation of
an important character, taking him into the higher courts. He belongs to the
Hamilton County Bar Association and the Ohio State Bar Association, and as a
fraternalist is a Mason and a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity and
the Chi Phi college fraternity. He likewise holds membership and has numerous
friends in the Business Men's Club, the Elaine Club, the Cincinnati Automobile
Club, the Hamilton County Golf Club, and the Cuvier Press Club.
