The untimely death of Oarl Morton
will be deeply mourned by his many
friends in this city. He was a young
man of whom Nebraska City was justly
proud , as ho gave every evidence of
proving one of the best and most
successful business men that ever made
his home in this city. He was bright ,
apt , quick to see a point and as quick to
take advantage of it. Socially he was
genial and whole-souled , and as a busi
ness man he was honest and upright.
He left a vacancy that will be hard to
fill. Nebra9ka City News.
Carl Morton , youngest son of ex-
Secretary J. Sterling Morton , died at
Waukegan , 111. , Tuesday morning ,
January 7. Himself and family spent
New Years at Arbor Lodge , his father's
home , and his sudden death from an
attack of pneumonia was a grievous
shock to his relatives and friends in
Nebraska. For a man of his years he
had succeeded remarkably and in his
death America loses a man giving
promise of at some fnture time being
numbered among her foremost business
men as he has been numbered among
the foremost in Nebraska , his native
state , for the past ten years. Pioneer

The death of Oarl Morton , youngest
of the four sons of J. Sterling Morton ,
is a heavy blow to his father and friends.
Paternal affections may not be stronger
in J. Sterling Morton than in many
other men , but it is quite certain he has
always shown great pride in his home
and family , and has been one of the
strongest advocates for the right sort of
home environments. He reared fonr
stalwart sons , all of whom have risen
rapidly to prominent positions in the
business world. They inherited the
sturdy traits of their father and have
always been his greatest joy , their
mother having long since died. Carl
was one of the most promising of the
fonr , and such men as the fonr are the
proudest products of Nebraska. The
friends of the father and the surviving
sons deeply sympathize with them in
their poignant grief. Fremont Tribune.
The announcement of Mr. Morton's
death is a great shook to Waukegan.
Though he had resided in the city less
than a year , he had gained the highest
respect and esteem of all who knew him.
A man of high position in the financial
world he was unassuming in every way
and his general characteristics were such
that he not only gained the respect of
his employees and friends , but was
generally admired.
A man of sterling qualities with an
exceptionally bright and promising
future as a figure in the manufacturing
and financial world , his death was truly
untimely.
Deceased was the youngest of fonr
sons each of whom has gained national
prominence in the industrial world.
Besides being the head of the local
refinery , Mr. Morton was interested in
railroads and several other maun
factories.
Though only thirty-five years of age
Mr. Morton had come to be recognized
as an important person in the glucose
world and that his career should be
terminated so suddenly and unexpect
edly is deeply regretted. Waukegan
Sun.
The death of Carl Morton , youngest
son of J. Sterling Morton , comes as a
calamity to all Nebraska and more
especially to Nebraska Oity where he
had established and carried on the im
mense cereal mills , which have become
famous as a market for Nebraska
products. The sympathies of the people
of this state go out to the bereaved
father , J. Sterling Morton. Friend

The death of Oarl Morton , the founder
and constant promoter of the great in
dustry at Nebraska Oity that has made
that old town one of the liveliest and
most prosperous spots in Nebraska after
it had apparently fallen into decay upon
the departure of the freighting business
before the advent of the railroads to the
west is a heavy blow to Nebraska.
Mr. Morton was without doubt at the
head of the column of the sturdy sons of
the original settlers of Nebraska who
are now placing her in the front rank in
the business world. The warmest
sympathies of all old Nebraskans will
go out to his father , the late secretary
of agriculture , J. Sterling Morton , and
to the stalwart brothers who have been
his companions and co-laborers in the
business world from earliest manhood.
The loss seems irreparable. Lincoln
Journal.
The sudden death of Oarl Morton , son
of J. Sterling Morton , is a shook to his
large circle of friends in Nebraska. By
virtue of his unusual ability as a busi
ness man , he was rapidly rising and
becoming known throughout the busi
ness world. Plattsmouth News.
Oarl Morton , president and manager
of the United States Sugar Refining
Co. , died at his home in Waukegan , 111. ,
on Monday last , of pneumonia , aged
thirty-five years.
Carl Morton was a son of J. Sterling
Morton of Nebraska Oity , secretary of
agriculture in Cleveland's cabinet. J.
Sterling Morton is noted for having
more capable boys than any other man
in the west. Paul Morton is second
vice-president of the Atchison , Topeka
& Santa Fe system , which runs from
Chicago to San Francisco , and probably
no other railroad man in the country is
better known , or has more power , than
Paul Morton. Joy Morton is at the
head of the salt trust , and one of the big
men of the country. Carl Morton , who
has just been buried at his old home in
Nebraska City , had six hundred men in
his employ , and was coming rapidly to
the front as a force in the west. There
is another sou , Mark , who will be heard
from.
The mother of this fine family of
boys died many years ago ; it is a pity
she could not have lived. How proud
she would have been of theml The
father is a fine old gentleman , and is
himself the sort of a man that gets to
the front ; the Morton boys came by
their energy honestly. Atohison Daily
Globe.
Of the type American , energetic , of
sound judgment and confident initia
tive , Mr Morton , although only thirty-
five years old , has earned distinction as
an entrepreneur. The starch works at
Nebraska Oity are the result of Oarl
Morton's intelligence , energy , and of
the confidence he inspired in other able
men. There are men who succeed fairly
well in a beaten road that oth r men
have leveled and smoothed for them.
There are other men of original inspira
