    Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

    Son of Katherine MORRIS

    Sitting on the banquette on bag, with rifle muzzle up and leaning againt his right shoulder, he bent down to press catch to take the magazine out and pressed the trigger as well as the spring which resulted in a wound which was very severe, probably involving the loss of the arm was found to be self inflicted but not caused intentionally but through carlessness.
