LOUIE AND IRENE MORRIS&#13;
The story of the westward movement and the adventurousness of America can be told in the lives of many of its families. One such f~mily&#13;
is that of James Morris who was born in Ocosoley County Kentucky in 1870&#13;
and died in California in 1955. James married Laura Kate Waggoner in Arkansas&#13;
in 1893. While they lived at Berryville, their son Louie was porn on&#13;
November 18, 1900. From there they moved to -Eureka Springs, Ar kansas for a&#13;
while and then went to McCloud, Okla. to grow cotton. In 1908 J ames loaded&#13;
his family and possessions in a covered wagon and headed for House , New&#13;
Mexico, which is about 45 miles south of Tucumcari. The Morrises bought&#13;
a claim and opened a general store handling grpceries, dry goods, hardware,&#13;
kerosene, etc. staying there five years. James might have stayed at House&#13;
but he kept remembering stories about the San Juan Mountains the Waggoners&#13;
had told. Laura's father and one of her uncles had spent a year tr~pping&#13;
furs in.the mountins north of Durango years before. After 5 years at House,&#13;
James sold out and loaded the covered wagon. By that time Louie was 12or&#13;
13 years old. According to his memories travel by covered wagon was not&#13;
bad.&#13;
11 0ur wagon was pulled by two mules which could cover about 40 m.iles per&#13;
day if the roads were good. We carried barrels of water, bacon, flour,&#13;
beans, potatos, coffee and a few canned goods. Dad built a bed in the&#13;
back of the wagon and a cupboard on the rear.· The door of the cupboard .&#13;
came down.on hinges to form a table top. The stretch of road from Albuquerque to Cuba was hard because of all tl1e sand. My brother and I followed&#13;
in our buggy. The trip to Tiffany took ahout two weeks. 11&#13;
The Morrises operated a ranch for Limebargers for one summer, loaded&#13;
up their wagon and headed back to Arkansas. James retraced his steps&#13;
back to House and sent on to Amarillo. That night when the family was&#13;
parked in the wagon yard, James walked up and said, "Pack up. We 1 re&#13;
going the rest of the way on the train." James had sold the wagon and&#13;
team to another man.&#13;
The family was in Arkansas a short time, then back to Oklahoma City&#13;
where James corresponded with Mr. Fierman and Mr, Dalton, the owners of&#13;
·the Allison store. In 1911+ The Morrises bought the store at Allison.&#13;
and settled there for three years.&#13;
Louie recalls, 11 Children in school were mischievous then as well as&#13;
now. I remember the time one or the boys put a bottle of ink on the&#13;
pot belly stove. Pretty soon it blew up and splattered ink all over&#13;
the ceiling. But as a rule we weren't any better or any worse than&#13;
children a.re today."&#13;
About 1915 or 1916 the farmers around Allison decided to incorporate&#13;
and start their own telephone company. Every body who wanted a phone&#13;
bought stock in the company. The Shanks family were the opera.tors. Of&#13;
course it was a:11 partyline. Everyone had a different ring, two longs&#13;
and a short, long short long, etc. Everybody heard the rings and everybody listened in. The more who listened in, the dimmer the sound became~&#13;
If a child wanted to be mischievous or if someone was talking too long&#13;
you could place the ear piece over the mouth piece and it would make a&#13;
horrible noise whick would quickly clear the line.&#13;
·&#13;
There were many traveling salesmen in those days (the people called&#13;
them drummers, a name the salesmen hated). Since there was no cafe in&#13;
Allison, Laura provided a place for the salesmen to eat.&#13;
In 1918 we sold. the Allison store-and moved to Twin Falls, IQaho,&#13;
for one summer and then on to Portland Oregon. 'The M:orrises were· in&#13;
Portland when the great flu epidemic everyone has heard so much about&#13;
struck the country. Louie was working at a cooperage at the ·time.&#13;
&#13;
·j&#13;
&#13;
�3)&#13;
'.11 got&#13;
&#13;
~&gt;• 50 per day for checking the barrel heads after· they ·were&#13;
&#13;
sawed to make ·certain the beveled edge was smooth and without flaws. I&#13;
rode the street car to work. During the ·worst of the flu epidemic the&#13;
conductor· woule only let a .few people on at a time. We stayed in Port1.a.nd through one winter, then returned t o .Allison to· buy a fe.rm from&#13;
Scoggins (Now· the place belongs to Harry Engler). 11&#13;
.&#13;
It vas a big event in 1 919 when .James bought his fi:rst car, a 4-&#13;
&#13;
door Chevrolet, an open car with ~i canvas roof and. side· curtains which&#13;
were kept rolled up u~der the seats until needed. The Morrises enjoyed&#13;
their car, but not when it was muddy. There was no gravel on the roads&#13;
in those days.&#13;
In 1920 Louie started dating Irene Young. I1~ene I s parents~ Archie&#13;
and.. Nancy Young w~re farmers at HcClave, Colorado, 20 Lliles west of&#13;
Lamar, before t he"y moved to S.1.1!. Coloradoc Their i:r.'}.'igated farm pro~•&#13;
duced alfal fa a.nd gr·ains. In 1913 when Irene was ten, her :oarent.'.'l sold&#13;
their farm and moved to a place just across the New Mexico l ine south&#13;
of Allison. Hr. Young butlt a nlce tw·o story hou,-rn (The one he built vas&#13;
moved to Colorado before Ffavaj o Lake i•ras filled. It is now· the Rc·"bert&#13;
Cox hcjnenear Tiff a.ny.) The Youngs stayed in Hew 1fe:x:ico ·t-wo years then&#13;
traded thei:r- farm -for one nearer Allison •. In 1920? I:.eenc quit schocl&#13;
