Henry Morris Called By Death
Civil War Veteran Succumbs Following a Paralytic Stroke
Henry Morris, 85, Civil war veteran, passed away this morning at 7:30 a.m., at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.P. Maloney, 1022 Pearl street, following a paralytic stroke which visited him yesterday morning. Mr. Morris had been enjoying fair health, until yesterday when he was taken suddenly ill.
Born in England, April 15, 1845, he came to the United States with his parents when but five years old. His parents located in Buffalo, N.Y., which city was his home until the beginning of the Civil war.
In September, 1861, Mr. Morris enlisted with the 23rd New York Independent battery, and saw service through the remainder of the war. He received his honorable discharge at the close of the war in 1865. He participated in many of the most important engagements during the war, but being a man who talked little of himself, not much is known of his actual experiences.
After the close of the war, Mr. Morris came to Wisconsin to reside, locating at Durand, where he lived until 38 years ago when he took up his residence in Chippewa Falls. During his early manhood and until a few years ago he followed the vocation of woodsman. In 1880, he was married to Miss Ellen Stokin, of Durand, who preceded him in death seven years ago.
Mr. Morris was an active comrade of James Comerford Post No. 68, and at the time of his death held three offices. He was among the first to become associated with the post, and served in whatever capacity he was elected faithfully. He was also an honorary member of the Woman's Relief Corps and the National Daughters of the G.A.R.
Surviving relatives are his daughter, Mrs. J.P. Maloney, four grand-daughters, and thirteen great grand children.
Arrangements for conducting the funeral had not been entirely completed this afternoon, but it was stated that it would be held from the Maloney residence at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. It is possible the funeral will be conducted with military honors.
The remains will be taken to the J.P. Maloney home Saturday morning.

"To the Editor of the Dispatch: Will you kindly publish in your Confederate Column the enclosed roll of Company C, 37th Regiment, Virginia Infantry? By so doing you will oblige a few survivors of that old company, which was a gallant as any that ever kept step to the music of 'Dixie' during the sixties. And right her I want to thank the Dispatch for its generous defence of the worthy Confederate soldier.
