Rev. J. G. MORRIS, D. D. 



Dr. Morris, the venerable Lutheran clergyman and well-known 

 entomologist, died at his home at Lutherville (near Baltimore, 

 Md.), on October the tenth, aged ninety-two years. 



John Goodlove Morris was a son of Dr. John Morris, a sur- 

 geon in the Revolutionary War, whose commission was signed 

 by Washington, and who died in his fifty-third year in 1805. 

 Dr. Morris was born in York, Pa., Nov. 14, 1803. He was pre- 

 pared for college at York County Academy, and at the age of 

 seventeen years was admitted to the sophomore class at Nassau 

 Hall, Princeton. Later he was transferred to Dickinson College, 

 where he entered the senior class, and was graduated in 1822, 

 taking the prize awarded the best declaimer. In October, 1826, 

 having become a Lutheran minister, he was licensed to preach in 

 Winchester, Va., and was soon called to the organization which 

 afterward formed the First Lutheran Church, Baltimore. Here 

 he remained thirty-three years. 



Dr. Morris had been a lecturer before the Smithsonian Institu-

 Northern Antiquaries, Copenhagen, of Die Naturhistorische 

 Gesellschaft zu Nuremberg, Bavaria; of the Royal Historical So- 

 ciety, London; for twenty years an active member of the Amer-
