Mr. Morey had been in gradually failing health for several years and during the past winter had been very poorly. He had been almost totally deaf for a long time and three months ago he became completely blind. He was able to be up and about, however, until Monday of last week so that he was bedfast but a few days. Funeral services were held at the Associated church at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. M. McIntosh of Sioux City, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church here, and interment was made in Grace Hill cemetery. The funeral was largely attended by relatives, old friends and neighbors. Members of the American Legion acted as pall bearers. Julius Morey was born in the state of New York Dec. 11, 1841, so at the time of his death was past 86 years of age. He came west to Wisconsin when a boy and at the age of 20, following the outbreak of the Civil War, enlisted in Co. G, 18th Wisconsin Infantry, with which organization he served for 3 years and 2 months, when he received an honorable discharge. He participated in some of the hardest fighting of the war including the battles of Pittsburg Landing, Corinth, Jackson, Chattanooga, the siege of Vicksburg and started with Gen. Sherman on his famous march to the sea but was taken ill on the march and did not complete the trip. Mr. Morey came to Sioux county in 1871 and homesteaded on a farm in Washington township, fourteen miles southeast of Hawarden where be endured the privations of pioneer life. In 1876 he was united in marriage with Miss Elsie Edith Willey at LeMars and they continued to reside on the old homestead until fourteen years ago when they moved to Hawarden. Mrs. Morey died in 1919. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Morey, only three of whom survive. The family was plunged in grief four times within the space of just a few weeks during the influenza epidemic in 1918 when two sons, a daughter-in-law and a grandson were victims of the disease. The surviving children are Mrs. J. A. Eddy of Worthington, Minn., and Mrs. Thos. H. Hatton and Mrs. Harley Whittington of Hawarden. He also leaves eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren. One grandson, Julius Morey, has resided with his grandfather since the death of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Morey, in 1918. Julius Morey was a well known figure in the early day life of Sioux county and counted everyone as his friend. His death is another reminder that but few of the old pioneer homesteaders still remain in the land of the living and that the ranks of the Civil War veterans are being rapidly depleted. Mr. Morey lived a long, eventful and useful life and there is genuine sorrow at his passing. Out of town relatives and friends who were here to attend the funeral included Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Eddy and two sons, Mr. and Mrs. Everett Bearden, E. E. Rilea and Jesse Rilea of Worthington, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Claude Muth of Sioux City; Geo. Morey of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. N. Latendresse, Mr. and Mrs. J. Gilford and two sons, Ernest Willey and Turner Willey of Beresford.
