  Obituary- Morris, Dorothy EDWARD AND DOROTHY MORRIS Death rode the range and shocked the community in the southwest corner of Jackson County when on Thursday morning the parents of little James Edward Morris were found dead in their trailer house by the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Morris. Edward Morris was born Dec. 8, 1920 and lived all his life with his parents in the home on the farm in the southwest corner of the Pottawatomi Reservation. Dorothy Lee Nutt was born July 12, 1927, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Nutt of Clovis, New Mex. These young people were married May 21, 1951, and the child, James Edward was born April 30, 1952. They lived in a trailer house near the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Morris. The family lived a normal life until the night of the tragic death. The body of Edward Morris was laid to rest in the Hoyt cemetery in the Morris family lot, while that of his wife Dorothy was taken to Clovis, New Mex., to rest beside a little sister in the family lot there. The little baby James Edward will be taken care of by the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Morris. Our sympathies go to Mr. and Mrs. George Morris and to Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Nutt in this hour of their loss and sorrow. Funeral services were conducted from the Mercer Funeral Home Saturday at 3 p.m. Rev. Alex Eckert officiating. Music was furnished by Miss Evelyn Carnahan accompanied by Mrs. Chas. Haag. Pallbearers were M. K. Broyles, George Eakin, I. B. Wyatt, Raymond Dibbern, Guy Adams, Walter Adams.
