OF THE SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB 183 



Nelson Morris was one of the best judges of cattle that ever 

 rode a horse in the yards, and it is within the memory of many 

 of the stockyard veterans when he set forth each morning for a 

 personal inspection of the cattle market and a personal direction 

 of the buying for his firm. His figure in the yards was familiar 

 long after he ceased these more strenuous operations, and many 

 drovers and stockmen remember his sturdy manner and his always 

 democratic bearing. To know him in these days was to admire 

 and love him. His charities, always quiet and unostentatious, 

 were myriad, and his death was a real calamity to many.
