The following is from Earl Morris:

"TA" Morris was a lawyer in Wartburg. According to the story, he lost some fingers and could no longer write. So his daughter Ruth Morris Short joined him and became his business partner. I found some ads for the "Morris & Short" agency.

Eva Oney (now deceased) in Wartburg knew TA Morris and told us stories about him. Eva is also a Morris descendent.

TA and Regina are buried in the Wartburg cemetery. We visited Wartburg a few year ago and saw the plots. Their obits can be found in the back issues of newspapers in the Wartburg library. I assume you live in the area and probably have these already.
