WM. E. MORRISON DIES IN SAGINAW HOSPITAL FRIDAY
Former Clare Man Buried at Cherry Grove Monday
"Bill" Morrison, a native and well known resident of this community for many years, passed away Friday of last week at St. Mary's Hospital, in Saginaw, following an illness of several months.
William E. Morrison was born the son of Norman and Nancy Morrison, in Sheridan township, Clare county, July 24, 1893, and passed away at Saginaw, Michigan, February 25, 1944, at the age of fifty years, seven months and one day.
He made his home as a boy and young man with his great uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Morrison, in Sheridan township, and worked on the farms of this vicinity.
He was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Peters, in Clare, in 1913, and they made their home in Grant township for several years. This union was blessed by the birth of three children, Ray, Harriet and Marilyn. Ray passed away in infancy and Mrs. Morrison preceded her husband in death in 1937.
The Morrisons moved to Saginaw twenty-five years ago and he has been employed by General Motors as a mill-wright in the Chevrolet Foundry for twenty-three years and at the Chevrolet Aluminum Forge plant for two years.
Mr. Morrison was a member of the Methodist Church.
He leaves to mourn their loss, the two daughters, Mrs. Theodore Card, and Mrs. Paul Kunitzer, both of Saginaw; two sisters, Mrs. Charles Wood, of Flint, and Miss Katherine Morrison of Toledo; three brothers, Harold Morrison, of Whittemore, Roy, of Flint, and Doyle, of Saginaw; three grandchildren; other relatives, several of whom live in Clare and vicinity; and many friends.
Funeral services were held from the Gugel Funeral Home, in Saginaw, at 1:00 o'clock Monday afternoon, with Rev. J. J. Meyer officiating, and the remains were brought to Clare for commitment services and interment at Cherry Grove Cemetery.
