I am searching for ANY information regarding my great-great grandfather Harry MORRIS b. abt 1881 PA. He married 15 Jan 1908 in Bozeman, Montana, Arvilla LANPHEAR (b. 01 Oct 1888 Montana d. 10 Apr 1916) daughter of Joseph Hissock LANPHEAR and Agnes McKEE. Their marriage certificate lists his place of birth as Corydon, Warren County, Penn (I have learned Corydon is in McKean county). His parents as James MORRIS and Mary BENEDICT.

In 1910 Harry was a Barber with A E Kerns in Bozeman, MT. Harry and Arvilla had 3 children, 2 living children, Ansel (b. 1912) and Florence (b. 1910). The children were given to the state orphans home a year before their mother’s death.

Harry was in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1918 (he sent a letter from 2616 Bent St dated Sept 25th 1918). The orphanage listed his last known address as Oregon. His WWI draft card (Registration Location: Laramie County, Wyoming; Roll 2022240; Draft Board: 0) gives his address as 2616 Bent St, his birthday is listed as Aug 23 1885. His occupation is Barber, but unemployed, his wife (#2) Emma. The registration date is Sept 12 1918. Any leads, stories, etc would be greatly appreciated.
