| Morris History |
| Family Life |
 |
Family sizes were often quite large, but few were fortunate to have all children outlive their parents. One famous Morris family had nine sons; Arthur, Clifford, Eugene, Irving, Roy, Herbert, Maurice, Joyce, and Edward (pictured with their father, Knute Enger). They competed as their own baseball team in the early 1900's until the unfortunate death of Edward who was electrocuted. |
By the 1860's, at least five denominations of the Christian faith were represented in Morris, all meeting within a few blocks of each other near the downtown - the Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, and the Congregationalists. The Lutherns organized in 1880. |
