William Morrison died at his home in Lorraine early Tuesday
morning, May 13. He had lived in this village for the last six years and his
health had been poor for a long time. Two weeks ago he seemed to be gaining
and was able to be out nearly every day but suddenly he was taken down again
and death soon followed.

Mr. Morrison was born in Port Dal Housie, Canada 59 years ago, the son of the
late William H. and Cecelia Lawson Morrison. He was a painter and decorator
by trade and followed the work for over 35 years.

He is survived by his widow and three sisters, Mrs. John Waterman of Camillus
(my Ggrandmother's sister Stella), Mrs. Elizabeth Herb of Syracuse (my Ggrandmother, and Mrs. Ida Chamberlain of Detroit, Michigan; also several nieces and nephews."

There is no year mentioned but I suppose it must have been in the early 40s since he
was older than Stella grandmother born in 1887.
At some point, he and Retta lived in Mannsville, NY

In 1901 he lived with his grandmother Clarisa Morrison at Pt. Dalhousie

1918 (Draft Card) he lived at 161 E Onondaga St Syracuse. He was printer for Osborne Decorating Co. and was married to Henrietta at that time.
