                         Death of Jesse J. Morris

It becomes our mournful duty to record this morning the death of the above well 
known and estimable gentleman, who departed this life on Wednesday night last at 
10:10 o'clock at his residence on the corner of Holt Street and Noe's Court. The 
deceased was one of the most popular young men in the city, bearing an 
irreproachable character and being universally liked and admired by all who were 
acquainted with his exemplary life and many noble qualities. He was the son of 
Davidson Morris, and was born in Princess Anne County. When still quite young he 
cast his fortunes with the Confederacy and served his state throughout the war 
faithfully and well as hospital steward in the Huger Battery. After the war he 
engaged in the drug business, and for several years has been conducting a drug 
store on Church Street. He was a member of the Baptist Church and was regarded 
as a true and upright Christian. His funeral will take place from the Freemason 
Street Baptist Church today at 12 M. The friends and acquaintances of the 
deceased and his family are invited to attend.
