Story of Early Days
Recalls Jesse Morris
Who Made Start Here
Jesse Morris of Dalhart one-
time resident of Bartlett recall-
ed for a recent edition of the Ft.
Worth Star-Telegram a story of
ranch dancing during days of
the frontier. This same article
tells something of his early life
which is of interest to the many
here who know Mr. Morris.
The story goes:
Morris who still is a mere
youngster when compared with
some of the West Texas pioneer
octogenarians and nonagenari
ans was a schoolboy when his
parents Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Mor
ris moved -from their ranch on
Indian -Creek near Bartlett to
a Panhandle ranch 30 miles
west of Amarillo. This was in
1890; when Amarillo was a small
cowboy town on the Ft. Worth
and Denver City Railroad. Al-
ready young Jess was a fiddler
having had his first lessons
from a negro Jerry Neely who
was a horse breaker on the Mor-
ris ranch in Williamson county
Jerry' Still Living
"After the fiddlin' lessons
from Jerry who by the way is
living down in Milam County"
Morris writes "I took some vio
lin lessons from Professor Kuler
of Barjlett-. He was quite a mu-
sician having studied some time
in Milan Italy.
''In 1890 my father and moth-
er sold their Bartlett property
and moved to Amarillo. My
father bought a ranch 30 miles
west of Amarillo and stocked it
with cattle but for the first few
years we lived in Amarillo. I
went to the Amarillo public
schools and visited the ranch in
the Summers.
"Not long after coming to
Amarillo I organized an orches-
tra playing the first fiddle my-
self. Other pieces were bass
fiddle banjo and guitar. Mr
orchestra played for dances in
a radius of about 75 miles of
Amarillo. My guitar player
Pancho by name was from Mex
ico and he could do everything
with a .guitar except make it
talk. He also was something of
a monte dealer as well as a mu
sician and in the eighties was a
figure in the cowtowft San An-
gelo. All the boys in the orches
tra were as good if not better
than me but I played the fiddle
and in those days a dance with
out a iiddie was no dance at an.
"I always had better luck
playing for balls and dances far
away from home. I guess the
saying from the Good Book 'A
prophet is not witnout honor
save in his own country" has
always been true. But there's
another saying just as true
though not from Wholy Writ.
That is 'Every dog has his day.'
Believe me I had mine when
was a 'nurp.' "
Morris is a second generation
West Texas pioneer. His fath
er E. J. Morris had come to
Texas m 1849 when he was 15
from Springfield Mo The trip
was made by ox wagons and
there were six other children
and their widowed mother who
came from Missouri to the new
land of promise in Texas. They
settled in Williamson County
then West Texas frontier. In
1868 E. J. Morris married Miss

IN MEMORY OF
MRS. W. UNDERWOOD
Mrs. Walter Underwood bet-
ter known as Bertha Mae to all
her friends and loved ones has
gone from this life to her Hea-
venly Mansion that our Father
has prepared for all who live
their lives like Bertha Mae lived
hers.
She was such a pure good
character and a wonderful ex-
ample to leave behind for her
family of seven ittle children
and her husband. She was al-
ways kind and good to every-
one and. no matter how deep
her sorrows were or how badly
she felt she always had a kind
word and a smile for everyone
who came her way.
I am sure the memory of her
pure character and her kind

words and good advice will help
all who knew her to live a bet-
tetr life and when our Heaven
ly Father sees fit to call us home
we will meet her over there
where there will be no sadness
no sorrows and no more parting.
To know her was to love her
and she often sang this song
"Keep on the Sunny Side Al-
ways on The Sunny Side keep
on the Sunny Side of Life."
