  6. No clear cut death record found. Sylvester is found in the 1900 census but not in the 1910 census and his wife remarried in 1911. Note this Find A Grave memorial which transcribes a possibly relevant item?

    "The remains of S. S. Morris, the Burdick man, who committed suicide in the county jail at Valparaiso, will be brought to Westville tomorrow and buried in the cemetery at that place. The services will be held at Morris' late home between Westville and Burdick. Taken from Laporte Weekly Feb 11 1904."
