Conceded to be a leader of the legal profession, Morris was equally well known as a business man, financier, and fraternal and civic leader. For many years he was a prominent figure in the Odd Fellows, and just prior to his retirement served as receiver for the defunct Binga State bank. ### Born In Kentucky Attorney Morris was born in Flemingsburg, Ky., May 30, 1858, the son of Hezekiah and Elizabeth Hopkins Morris.
