Son of Lemuel Morris and Martha Estes
"An old resident passes Away."
Dr. Madison Brantley Morris of Richland, Baker County, Oregon, died at his home Sept., 17th, 1909. He passed away peacefully at 11 o'clock P. M. and was conscious until within a few moments of the time he expired.
Dr. Morris had been in ill health for several years, and as his death had been daily expected it came as no surprise to his many relatives and friends.
He was born in Henry Co., Tennessee on Oct. 8th, 1824. He crossed the plains to Oregon in 1853, arriving at Walla Walla valley where he sojourned for a short time. Walla Walla valley being a wilderness at that time. He finally settled at The Dalles in the year 1857, where he braved the hardships of the true pioneer, fighting Indians and assisting in opening the country for future settlement. Then after years of incessant toil he returned to the partially settled Walla Walla Valley in the year 1865. There he met Miss Elizabeth Lilliebridge, to whom he was united in marriage April 14th, 1867. To this union were born seven children, four sons and three daughters.
Being a physician he drifted to the settled country of Grand Ronde valley in the year 1875, where he practiced for more than twenty years, being very successful and noted far and wide as a physician, who never faltered nor shrunk from hardships, braving the darkest and coldest nights when he was called to relieve suffering humanity.
He finally came to Eagle Valley in the year 1882, where he resumed his practice. During his career as a physician in Eagle Valley he was successful.
He joined the Christian Church in his youth and was ever a devout Christian during life, both in precept and example.
Although being middle aged when united in marriage, he lived until the birth of a great-grandson. Being the eldest of eleven children, he was the last to survive.
He was a good citizen, kind husband, and father, and leaves to mourn his loss his wife and five children besides a host of friends who sincerely sympathize with the family in their sorrow and bereavement. His remains were laid to rest in the Richland Cemetery September 19th, 1909.
