      OBITUARY OF LATE ROBERT E. MORRISON
      The Miller Press, Miller, Hand, SD. 10 Feb 1944 Pg 1 Vol 63 # 15
      Robert Eli Morrison was born June 13, 1865, to James and Nancy(Conser)
      Morrison, and passed away at his home January 31, 1944.
      He was born in Sandsprings, Delaware county, Iowa, and spent his early
      boyhood days there, moving with his parents and family near Coleridge,
      Cedar county, Nebr., settling on a homestead where he lived until his
      marriage to Martha Louisa Shearer of Clearfield, Ia., December 24, 1889 at
      Hartington, Cedar county, Nebr. Two sons were born to this union, Vaughn
      of Chicago, Ill., and Gene, who resides on the home farm.
      After his marriage they made their home in Coleridge, Nebr., for a number
      of years, where he was engaged in business. They moved to this state and
      engaged in farming near Wessington Springs, Jerald county, for two years,
      after which they came to Hand county, Spring Lake township, living at his
      present home until his death. He always took an active part in the
      community affairs, serving as a member on the township board for several
      years, until ill health forced him to resign. He was a kind neighbor and
      a friend to all who knew him.
      Besides his widow he leaves to mourn his loss, two sons, Vaughn and Gene,
      two brothers, Howard of Coleridge, Nebr., and Renso of Montebello, Calif,
      one sister, Hattie (Mrs. Roy) Adams of Laurel, Nebr., eight grandchildren
      and one great grand daughter and a host of relatives and friends. Burial
      will be in the Rose Hill Cemetery, Bates twp., Wessington, Hand, So. Dak.
