Former Griffinite Succumbs After a
Long Period of Failing Health—66
Years Old and Journalist of
Wide Experience.
Relatives here have just been ad
vised of the- death of Col. M. C. Mor
ris, veteran newspaper man of Bill
ings, Montana, which occurred at his
home in that city on December 17th.
Colonel Morris was a newspaper
man of wide experience, being for
many years editor of the Billings,
Montana, Times, after having been
engaged in the printing business in
various cities in the West. He was
apprenticed to J. Clark Swayze, the
man who, in the capacity of civil en
gineer, routed Sherman’s march to the
sea, as a printer. He was a brother
of the late M. F. Morris, of Griffin,
being born in this city in 1852.
In 1916 Col. Morris was elected one
of the four presidential electors for
Montana. He took an active part in
the national, State and local cam
paigns, and his writings always
championed the cause of the Demo
cratic party.
The older citizens here wil remem
ber Col. Morris very pleasantly and
regret to hear of his passing.
