CURTIS H. MORRIS
[Welland Tribune, 5 April 1889]
The dark shadow of death has visited the family of Mr. Edwin Morris, Crowland, and removed from their midst, in the flush of youth, one who looked forward to a bright and useful life. Curtis H., second son of Mr. Morris, passed away on Monday, April 1st. The deceased received an injury under the eye from the horn of a cow, about three months ago, in which, Mr. Morris believes, the brain sustained an injury that proved the cause of the fatal illness following. The wound was apparently not a serious one and quickly healed, but gradually severe pains developed over the eye, later extending round the head to the base of the brain, terminating in cerebrospinal meningitis with a speedily fatal result at the close. Curtis Morris was but 27 years of age, a bright, talented, amiable young man, the light and life of the home circle in which he was greatly beloved. He was one of the most promising students at Welland high school. His apparently untimely demise is universally regretted by a large circle of acquaintances, and the cause of the most intense grief in the bereft home, the members of which have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. The funeral took place on Thursday, interment at Doan’s Ridge cemetery, a very large attendance showing their love and esteem for the one laid away to rest.
