Death of Thomas B. Morrissey
Thomas B. Morrissey died of cancer of the stomach at St. Vincent's
hospital, Green Bay, Tuesday, Aug. 5. The deceased was born August 26,
1859 in the Town of Franklin and was unmarried. He was educated in the
common school of his own district and at the Oshkosh Normal School
which he attended after completing the country school. Between the
years 1879 and 1890 he taught school in Manitowoc and Washington
Counties. Since retiring from teaching he lived continuously on the
old homestead in Franklin.
The announcement of his death came as a shock to his community where
he was held an esteemed and respected citizen. He was a man of
inflexible honesty and high moral character. Hypocrisy and deceit were
unknown in his life. He valued the internal qualifications of men. He
held fast to the genuine and was little influenced by the external
artificialities and surface show of life that so often make it difficult
to distinguish reality from appearance. Always disposed to throw the
mantle of charity over the faults and weaknesses of others, he lived the
principles of christianity in his daily associations with his fellow men.
He believed that there was something good in every man and he sought to
see and to cherish that good at all times. Those nearest to him know how
cheerfully he could forget himself, that the trials of life might be made
easier for others.
His recreations were mainly of a literary nature. He read widely and had
a retentive memory. His reading was of the informational type along the
lines of history and the general progress of current literature. He was
deeply interested in every step looking towards more efficiently in
government and was a true type of the independent voter. He served as
school district clerk for twelve years.
The funeral was held at Maple Grove Friday, August 8. Those from outside
in attendance were: Mr. Thos Gough, Mrs. George Schafer, Mr. and Mrs. John
Finnegan and daughter, Mrs. James Finnegan of Milwaukee, Mr. Daniel Falvey,
Mr. Thos Savage of Manitowoc; G. M. Morrissey, Mrs. G. M. Morrissey, Donald
Morrissey, Winfield Morrissey of Chilton, Mrs. Dora Frawley, Port
Washington.
He is survived by two brothers, G.M. Morrissey of Chilton and Lawrence
Morrissey of Franklin; two sisters, Mrs. Jeremiah Frawley of Port Washington
and Mrs. Charles Hintz of Reedsville.
