Abraham Morris Passes Away at Armington With the passing away of Abraham Franklin Morris at Armington, June 12, at the age of 79, the ranks of the Montana pioneers grow thinner. Mr. Morris had come to Montana on the steamboat Red Cloud, arriving in Fort Benton in 1882. He had made Montana his home ever since. He was born in Dent county, Missouri, in 1850, and was married to Mary Catherine Johnson at Howes Mill, Missouri, in 1870, where they lived 12 years. Six children were born to them. Leaving Missouri in 1882, with his family, after the death of two children, he went by train to Kansas City. The family experienced at stopover at St. Joseph, which was with the hour Jesse James was killed in that city. Arriving at Kansas City they booked passage on the Red Cloud, a river boat, which carried them to Fort Benton. Aside from the danger of hostile Indians, one accident marred the journey. A large tree had lodged in a sandbar and the boat was snagged so badly that it experienced difficulty in keeping afloat. It was necessary to wait for repairs and the boat remained stranded for 18 days. The entire trip required three months as the Red Cloud was a wood burner and fuel was gathered from the river banks. Mr. Morris obtained work at Fort Benton at marking and billing hides for fur traders. He then got out timber from the Highwoods for settlers who were scattered between the mountains and Fort Benton. In 1883 he filed on a homestead on Otter creek, which is now known as the Armstrong ranch. He remained there for seven years, and after selling his homestead, purchased the George Beloitt ranch on Big Willow creek bench. In 1893 he again sold his holdings and returned to Otter creek, where he purchased a ranch from John W. Moller. This ranch was sold to Bart W. Armstrong. Mr. Morris then moved to Armington, where he lived for one year, purchasing a ranch on Willow creek from W. E. Bell, which he sold in 1921. Since that time he had lived at his home in Armington.
