Isaac Morris was buried in the Summit burying ground last Sunday by the side of Mrs. Morris who passed over to the Golden Shore a few short years ago. Mr. Morris lived in Everly at the time of his death. He was an old soldier, an old homesteader, an old neighbor and we are sorry to loose [sic] him from our midst. But so it was decreed and no man can evade it.

The death of I.A. Morris, an old and respected resident of this city, occurred Saturday evening at 6:30 after an illness of 24 hours. Friday evening when in the act of carrying a pail of water to his cow he was stricken with paralysis. The stroke affected both sides, and in an hour he was unable to articulate an intelligible word.
