Morin - Milton - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

 

Milton MORIN died this morning at 2:30 at his home north of  Kirkpatrick just over the Tippecanoe Co. Line. Although he had  been in failing health for a short time death was quite sudden as  he had been in town only yesterday. Heart failure was the cause.  He was born June 17, 1835 on the farm now occupied by John KING on  the line between Madison & Sugar Creek Townships. He was twice married,  first to Miss RACHEL RICE and again to Mrs. Mary MAHOY.

Both  wives are dead, but five children by the first Mrs. Morin  survive, Fielding MORIN; William MORIN; Mrs. Charles DAVIS; Mrs.  Porter PEAK and Mrs. William HORBIN (?) all of whom live on or  near his magnificent farm of 1500 acres of the finest land in  Tippecanoe County.   He also has 10 grandchildren.

Mr. Morin was a public  spirited citizen and was especially noted for the fine stock he  raised. He was a Republican in politics. The funeral will occur  Thursday morning at 10 o'clock conducted at the residence by Rev.  JM Brown of Lebanon, and Rev. Mr. McKinsey. Interment at IOOF [Independent Order of Odd Fellows]  Cemetery at Darlington.
