Robert, the ninth child of Samuel Morris, married Sallie 
Fry, by whom he had 6 children: Herbert, Minnie, Albert, 
Della, Bessie, and Edith. Robert was alcoholic, licentious, 
and had the crazy temper which is characteristic of the Morris 
family. He, too, suffered from chorea, and after he was shot 
by Borden his choreic movements became very violent. His 
disease was first noticed when he was 33 years old. At the 
age of 43 years, within a year after the Borden episode, 
Robert took poison. He left a fairly good farm on which his 
widow still lives. Mrs. Robert Morris is an ignorant woman 
but shows fairly good business sense in her deals. Her home 
is wretchedly kept, is dirty and sparsely furnished. 
Herbert, first son of Robert, is a high-grade moron of 
28 years. Like his relatives, he is high-tempered, nervous, 
and quarrelsome. Several years ago he tried to kill himself 
Mrs. Lloyd Faris.
