Lawyer; Breen & Morris
On the record
Morris was the son of Judge John Morris, one of Indiana's leading jurists, who came to Fort Wayne in 1857. The son took the law course at the University of Michigan (class of 1883) and read law for three years in the office of his father and Judge William H. Coombs. In June 1886 he formed a partnership with Charles H. Worden; on 22 May 1893 he left that firm to partner with William P. Breen as Breen & Morris, which held, in Griswold's words, an important place among the strong legal firms of Indiana, with offices in the People's Trust building. From 1889 he served as deputy clerk of the United States court for the district until Thomas J. Logan succeeded him, and he was a director of the People's Trust & Savings Association.
