The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington Provincial District]

Morris, Edward, Junr.

Morris, Edward, Junr., Undertaker, 10 Taranaki Street, Wellington. Cable address, “Morris, Wellington.” Bankers, Bank of New Zealand. Mr. Morris is a native of London, and came out to the Colony with his parents by the ship “Strathnavar” in 1874. He was brought up to the business with his father, Mr. Edward Morris, senr., who established the present business in 1878, conducting it successfully for some years. Mr. Morris, junr., then became a partner in the concern, and took over the management, and Mr. Morris, sen., eventually decided to turn his attention to farming pursuits, and settled on some land of his own in the Manawatu district. This was in 1886. The business was then taken over by Mr. Morris, junr. Mr. Morris believes in having one trade, and keeping en entirely to it. There are but few undertakers who confine themselves exclusively to that line of business, most of them doing general cabinetmaking as well. Mr. Morris, however, has given himself up to the business, and it is not surprising that he should have made a name for himself. This is evidenced by the large proportion of funerals which he is retained to conduct, as well as in the satisfaction expressed by those who require his services in time of trouble.
