Thomas never married. =-=-=-=-=-=- OBITUARY Allen County Republican Gazette October 22, 1905 EXEMPLARY-WAS BUSINESS CAREER OF THOMAS MORRIS-Considered One of the Foremost Young Financiers in the City--Sudden Death Calls Out General Expression of Sincerest Sorrow--Sketch of his Career After ten weeks of illness during all of which time his robust vitality fought a noble battle for supremacy over death, Thomas Jefferson Morris, one of the most prominent young business men of Lima, died at his home, 502 east High street, early yesterday morning. He had been making his home with his step mother, Mrs. M.J.Morris. Ten weeks ago he was seized with an acute case of hemorrhage of the bowels. This soon developed into typhoid fever, but the hemorrhage was never fully gotten under control, and was a strongly contributing cause of death. Mr. Morris was a splendid type of man physically and it was due alone to his constitutional strength that he so long survived the terrible drain on his vital forces. Friday at noon he was pronounced dead by the attending physicians, but he struggled with the inevitable, rallied and fought off the fate which overshadowed him until there were moments when those around him had hopes of recovery. But it was a useless contest and about 3 o'clock Saturday morning, exhausted nature was compelled to give way and he sank peacefully into death. There was perhaps no man in Lima who was held in higher esteem or who deserves a greater tribute of praise for his attainments. Born in Pittsburg in 1858, he was 47 years old at the time of his death, yet for years he had been identified with several of the most prominent business institutions of the city. He associated himself with the Lima Loan and Trust. He was a director of the Allen County Building and Loan. He was one of the hardest workers in the K. of P. lodge . He was also a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Knights Templar. The local Knights Templar will have charge of the service which is to be held on Monday at 2 p.m. at the residence. The remains will be interred in Woodlawn. Deceased's father, M.J. Morris, lumber merchant died several years ago. He is survived by two brothers, John Morris of Kenton and Dave Morris, of this city and now of Manitou, Co. Two sisters, Mrs. Frank Thomas and Mrs. Martin Edman, both of this city.
