E. MORRIS LLOYD deceased, was born in Newtown, July 10, 
1827, and is a son of John and Amanda (Morris) Lloyd, and a 
grandson of Enos Morris, of Newtown, one of the first 
attorneys of the county, and a very prominent citizen.  Our 
subject was a descendant of Cadwallader Morris, who settled 
in Hilltown more than a century ago.  His father, John 
Morris, was a man of means and never took an active part in 
business.  E. Morris Lloyd, while a youth, entered a New 
York house to fit himself for mercantile life.  In 1846 he 
entered the office of Honorable John Fox and studied law.  
He was admitted to the bar in 1848.  He practiced in the 
county until his death, being in practice more than a 
quarter of a century.  He reached a leading position in his 
profession, and was an able, upright man.  Mr. Lloyd never 
held office, but devoted himself to his profession.  He was 
married December 26, 1848, to Julia D., daughter of Doctor 
W. S. Hendrie, a prominent physician of Doylestown, and Ann 
Dunlap Hendrie.  Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd were the parents of two 
sons: Henry A., a lawyer, residing in St. Louis; and Doctor 
James H. Lloyd, who is a practicing physician in 
Philadelphia.  The deceased Lloyd was a member of the 
Masonic order in Doylestown, and also a member of the 
Presbyterian church, as is also Mrs. Lloyd.  Doctor W. S. 
Hendrie was born in Sussex county, N. J., in December, 1798. 
 His father, Joseph J., was a native of Scotland and 
graduated in medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Doctor 
William S., when a young man, became a student of Doctor 
John Wilson, of Buckingham.  His going there was his first 
introduction to a community largely composed of Friends.  He 
attended a course of lectures at the University of 
Pennsylvania, where he met his future partner in life, Miss 
Ann Dunlap.  In 1823, soon after obtaining his diploma, he 
began to practice at Hilltown, Bucks county.  About 1840 he 
moved to Doylestown, where he practiced until his death, 
which occurred April 20, 1875.  In 1840 he was a 
presidential elector of Pennsylvania on the whig ticket, as 
decided by a small majority for Harrison and Tyler.  In the 
early part of 1849 he was appointed by Governor Johnston 
associate judge in the place of Gen. Samuel A. Smith, and 
continued on the bench until 1851.  In 1861 he was examining 
surgeon for the county under the state militia law, and 
after the close of the war for the Union was medical 
examiner for the county under the pension laws.  He was a 
leading member of the Odd Fellows, and for twenty years 
treasurer, and was also a consistent member of the 
Presbyterian church.  Dr. Hendrie was a venerable, good, and 
honest man, and one of the prominent physicians of the 
county, as he was also a leading and influential citizen.
