General Notes: Husband - Malvern H. Morris

---

He was born on the home farm not far from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and remained there until nineteen years old. He had excellent advantages in the public schools of the neighborhood, and in the winter of 1881-82 he was a student at the National Normal University, Lebanon, Ohio, winning a diploma in the commercial department. During his early years he had engaged in farm work at home, and he was subsequently occupied in teaching and at various other employments until the autumn of 1884. when he became a clerk in a mercantile house in Pittsburgh. Here he acquired his first practical training in merchandising. and upon his return to Punxsutawney entered business on his own account in partnership with his brother-in-law, Mr. North, dealing in clothing and men's furnishings. After three years in that connection he sold his interest and went West, going to Portland, Oregon, where he spent one year. But he concluded the opportunities were just as favorable in his home county, and he came back and went into business at Clayville. He continued his store there until January, 1896, when he and his brother J. L. Morris started a clothing business at Punxsutawney, the association, however, lasting but a short time, after which M. H. Morris has carried on the business alone. For two years he was a member of the board of directors of the County National Bank of Punxsutawney, from which he resigned. His social connections were with the Masons, Elks, and Country Club of Punxsutawney. As a Mason he holds membership in John W. Jenks Lodge, No. 534, F. & A. M., and in Coudersport Consistory, thirty-second degree. He was a Republican in political sentiment.
