General Notes: Husband - Theodore Morris


He was a child of only two years when brought by his parents to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, where he then resided for three-quarters of a century. He received but limited school privileges, his youth being largely devoted to farm work. He was married in 1841, after which he purchased 200 acres of timber land in Young township, a mile north of his father's homestead. There he developed a large farm, and also followed lumbering, floating his products down Mahoning creek to the Pittsburgh markets. He continued lumbering and farming on that property for about forty years, and after the death of his youngest brother, Moses, in 1883, removed to the old homestead, where he and his wife then spent their declining days.
He and his wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
In politics Mr. Morris was a Democrat, and for thirty-three consecutive years or more he served as school treasurer. He was also school director for a quarter of a century, and was supervisor and auditor for a number of years.
