      George Morris, 93, succumbs to illness at farm home in Allen-co
      Columbus Grove, Oct. 17 – (Special) – George Morris, retired farmer, of Monroe-tp, died at his home Sunday morning, following an illness of general debility. Had he lived until Thursday, he would have reached the age of 84 years. He lived his life-time in the some district, three miles southwest of Columbus Grove, where he was born in 1833.
      Up to a few years ago, across the road, less than 60 rods away, lived Mrs. Elizabeth Hartman, who was 90 years of age at the time she died. She too was born in the same district in which she lived.
      Morris and Mrs. Hartman were children of Judge Henry Morris, one of Allen-co’s first white settlers. The first white settler had arrived in Lima just two years before George Morris was born. A year before the Shawnees started their westward trek and Allen co was cleared of Indians.
      Mrs. Hartman was not quite 30 when she was married and for 70 years she and her brother lived on adjoining farms. Altho the district is southwest of Columbus Grove, the farm lands lie in the Monroe-tp, Allen-co.
      Morris saw the dense forests of northern Allen-co developed into fertile fields of the farming community.
      He is survived by five children, Mrs. Maggie Morris Trumbo, of Columbus Grove; John B. Morris of Rushville, Ind., the Misses Anna and Catherine Morris and George Morris, Jr., residing at the family home. His wife died many years ago.
      Services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the country residence.
      Interment will be in Truro cemetery, just south of his home.
