Supposedly was a policeman. My father, Jack Morris Sr, has a billy-club that was supposedly his.

I looked through the death records from Tidioute c. 1887 - 1908. This is what I found: William C. Morris age 40, died 29 Nov 1901 from Cancer. Wife's name was Anna Morris, birthplace Ireland

Mary Genevieve Morris age 15years 2mos. 21days, died 1 Sep 1906 from appendicitis. (sister of Harold and Vera)

C. Leonard Morris age 40, died 09 Jan 1904. (brother of William C.)

William C. Morris started as an engineer and later became a policeman

The coroners book I've been looking through is large, but it has a wealth of info. It lists just about everybody who died in Tidioute from 1880 to 1910 or so. It list spouses and kids so you can connect the families (with the help of the census that is).
