Obituary
Mr Guy Morris. A large number of Dunedin citizens will regret to learn of
the death of Mr Guy Morris, which occurred at his residence in Maori Hill on
Saturday afternoon from pneumonia following influenza.
Mr Morris made many friends by reason of his straightforward, trustworthy character, and by these he will be greatly missed. He was the youngest son of the late Mr J. R. Morris, for many years city valuer in Dunedin, and the brother of Mr J. R. Morris and Hugh Morris, photographers. He leaves a widow and four children.
Happy in his domestic life, and an enthusiastic gardener, he yet found
time for recreation in the way of shooting, and was a few years ago a fine
billiard player. In everything he took in hand Guy Morris was, above everything,
"a clean sport."
As a photographer he was well known, especially in connection with outdoor subjects and news-paper illustrations. Deceased, who had reached the age of 50, was born at Manchester, and arrived in Dunedin with his parents when about one year old.
