May 2 1840 - Sept 22 1904
*Obituary (as written)
Rogers Democrat
Wednesday, September 28, 1904
MORRIS, Chas. D. - Chas. D. Morris died last Thursday morning at his home in this city. Death had been expected for several days and the family were prepared for the final blow. Death came as a glad relief to him for he had suffered greatly the last few months with a malignant cancer. Funeral services were held at the residence Friday afternoon at two o'clock and were conducted by Rev. Wheeler of the M.E. church. Mr. Morris came to Rogers with his family three years ago from Bon Ami, La. and purchased the lumber yard of C.O. Short, which has since been conducted under the name of Morris & Sons. Mr. Morris has been a lumber man for many years, most of his later life having been spent in Kansas City. He was born in Rural county, Ill. in 1842 and was married in 1873. He is survived by his wife and five children, Misses Cloud, Adlyn and Lillian and Messrs. Mark and Elmer Morris, all of this city. Owing to the fact that his ailment kept him away from our city a good portion of the time Mr. Morris was not well known to our people, but he made friends in all lines and his commercial ability and integrity was recognized.
