Morrill, Called Best Friend of University, DEAD

Benefactions to Nebraska Totaled More Than $100,000

Came to State in 1871; Heavy Land Investor

Stromsburg, Neb., Dec. 11—Charles Henry Morrill, 85 Wealthy landowner and active supporter for many years of Nebraska civic enterprises, died at 10:30 O’clock tonight at his home here.  He had been in a weekend condition since suffering Paralytic Stroke Tuesday of last week and his four children had been summoned to Stromsburg several days ago.

He was known throughout the state as the most generous donor to the University of Nebraska, to which he often referred as his “Fifth Child.”

Several years ago, when he sent securities worth 40 thousand dollars to the university, he indicated that he intended to divide his estate equally among his four Children and the University, share and share alike.

His gifts previous to his death amount to 100 thousand dollars.  He was inspiration for the many summer geological expeditions of Prof E. H. Barbour, Curator of the state museum, and he financed the unearthing of fossil treasures which are of interest to the paleontologists of all parts of the

Morrill, Called Best Friend of University, Dead

World and which are now adequately housed in “Morrill Hall.” The state museum on the university campus.

Mr. Morrill was born July 14, 1843 in Concord, N.H. There he enlisted in the union Army and fought with the Eleventh New Hampshire volunteers from 1862 to 1865.  He came west after the war, settling first in Iowa, but in 1871 drove six yoke of oxen to Omaha and went to Polk County where he homestead.

Fortune a Million

His faith in the prairie land was strong and upon it he built his fortune, estimated, at his death, to exceed one million dollars.  He helped found the first banks at Osceola and Stromsburg, Neb. And organized and was president of several large land and investment companies.

These included the Lincoln Land Company, South Platte Land Company, Lancaster Land Company and Boston Investment Company.” He seldom sold any of the real estate he acquired, often quoting to friends his business motto that “land is the best investment.”

As the President of the Lincoln Land Company he established the townsite of many of the cities along the Burlington route, as its lines were pushed westward across Nebraska.  In 1908 he bought the land for the Townsite of Scottsbluff, waving aside the suggestion that five acres would be enough, and purchased four hundred acres, paying $15 an acre.

For him, in 1908, Morrill County was named, when it was detached from Cheyenne County.  For him also, the town of Morrill, Iowa, in western Scotts Bluff County, was named.

Joined Gold Rush

When Early pioneer Struggles and grasshoppers plagues made farming difficult in Nebraska, Mr. Morrill left his wife and four children in Polk County and joined the rush to seek gold in the Black Hills.  He returned from that quest without gold, but with a quickened interest in fossil deposits, because of the fossils he had seen in the Bad Lands.

About 30 years ago he began the collection of fossils, and beginning in 1892 financed Prof. Barbour in expeditions that saved for this state many fossils of prehistoric elephant life.  This interest gained him attention throughout the scientific world and led Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, a paleontologist, to name for Mr. Morrill a distinct group of fossil elephants.

Mr. Morrill was regent of the State University and president of the board, from 1891 to 1901.  His interest In Politics was active from his arrival in the state.  He was private secretary to Governor Nance from 1879 to 1883, was chairman of the Republican state committee in 1894 and republican national committeeman for Nebraska from 1904-1908.  He was United States collector of Revenues for Nebraska, this state’s commissioner to the Louisiana Purchase exposition at St. Louis and a few years ago was awarded a gold medal by the Lincoln Kiwanis club for distinguished service to the state.

His last gift to the University was 10 thousand dollars, in October, 1928.

The University board of regents had adopted on several occasions testimonials to Mr. Morrill’s services in behalf of the institution and in appreciation of his gifts.

He took pride in the activities of members of his family in developing, Nebraska resources and in 1917 published a book, “The Morrill’s and Reminiscences,” for the private distribution.

Obituary, Stromsburg

The funeral of Mrs. C. H. Morrill, who died in Los Angeles, California on April 9th, was held on Sunday May 6th at the homestead, just south of Stromsburg, the services being held at the home of her son, Arthur C. Morrill.

Harriet Currier was born in Nashua, New Hampshire (on) November 16, 1843, her death occurring at Los Angeles, California on April 9, 1917, and at her death she was aged 73 years, 4 months and 23 days. At the age of 17 years she united with the Methodist church and when 18 years of age was united in marriage with Charles Henry Morrill, who at that time was a private soldier in the 11th New Hampshire volunteers. A few day after the marriage ceremony had been performed Mr. Morrill left his young wife to join his regiment and served to the end of the war. After he had returned from his services to his country, they moved to Iowa where they spent a few years and in 1871 moved to Nebraska where they settled on the homestead just south of Stromsburg and which has been their real home ever since.

To this union seven children were born, the four surviving are Charles Albert, Arthur Currier, Edgar Lamprey  and Minnie Harriet. Six grandchildren have been added to the happy family circle in which the grandmother was the guiding star.

Mr. and Mrs. Morrill came to Polk County among the early settlers and Mr. Morrill took a government homestead. They, like all other settlers, were not blessed with worldly goods, but they prospered and Mrs. Morrill lived to enjoy for many years the accumulation of their united toil.

In 1894 the family moved to Lincoln where they resided most of the time until a year and a half ago when they went to Los Angeles. But Stromsburg was always their real home and a great many of their summers were spent in the handsome log house which was built some years ago for a summer home.

Mrs. Morrill was a woman of beautiful and noble character and was beloved by all who knew her. She was a kind and considerate wife and a loving mother, and it is in the home where she was so greatly beloved that she will be missed, and yet her many friends will miss her kindly smile and cheerful greeting and her many tokens of friendship and her unselfish kindness for others.

At the time of her death she was an active member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Eastern Star and was an honorary member of the Stromsburg Woman's Club. During her residence in Lincoln she was Patroness of the Pi Beta Phi and acted as chaperon at their social gatherings.

The funeral was held at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Rev. J. H. Presson of Lincoln preached the sermon which was a tribute to the life of this departed good woman, and was assisted by Rev. J. L. Barton, pastor of the Eden Baptist Church. A double quartet furnished the music. The members of P.E.O. attended in a body and assisted with the services at the cemetery and had beautifully decorated the grave, lining it with flowers. The floral offerings were profuse and very beautiful attesting in a mute way the love for the departed and the sympathy to the family who had sustained so great a loss. Many friends from this city a well as Lincoln, Osceola and other points, had gathered to pay their last respects to a woman who was so universally loved and admired.
