Son of David Morrison and Elizabeth (Campbell) Morrison. Husband of Katherine (Keegan) Morrison. Farmer.
"Mr. Charles E. Morrison, formerly of the Fourth District, in this county, died in Chester, Pa., on Saturday, the 21st inst. In 1899 Mr. Morrison moved from his farm, near Andora, and located in Wilmington, not being engaged in any business. In October last, the proprietors of the Franklin Paper Mills at Swarthmore, persuaded him to engage with them. Although advanced in years, he consented, and took charge of the acid tanks. He had only been engaged at his work about three hours, when the contents of a tank boiled over, scalding him seriously on his body and lower limbs. He was taken to Chester Hospital, where he recovered from the effects of the burns, but never recovered from the nervous shock of his injuries, and which caused his death on Saturday. In the meantime, on October 24th, his son, John Morrison, with whom he resided in Wilmington, and who became ill, was never informed of the accident which had befallen his father, died after an unsuccessful operation for a disease of the stomach. Mr. Morrison leaves a widow and seven children: Herbert Morrison, of Swarthmore; Raymond and Samuel of Philadelphia; Frederick, of Chester; Frank, Maud and Anne, who reside with their mother in Philadelphia. Mr. Morrison's funeral was held at the Cherry Hill M. E. Church on Wednesday, The Rev. O. W. DeVouish, officiating."
