Obituaries.
Died at his residence Thursday, July 12th, Albert Morley, in the 86th year of his age.
Perhaps no town in this country
can boast of a stronger and more sterling class of men than that which included the early
settlers of Painesville; men of marked individuality and strong mental force, and as they
disappear from our midst one by one, we cannot banish from our mind the thought that soon
we shall be called upon to lay the last one in his final resting place. Albert Morley was
pre-eminently one of this class. He was born in Brutus, Cayuga county, New York, October
21st, 1797. He was married to Esther Healy, of Charlestown, New Hampshire, in 1818,
sixty-five years ago. In 1837 he came with his wife to Painesville, where he has since
lived, occupying for the period of forty-five years the old homestead in which he died. Of
ten children born to them five still remain, and the grand-children now number
thirty-nine. Children and grand children forty-five in all.
Mr. Morley's relation to this
large family reminded one strongly of the old patriarchal form of government, for from the
old home an influence always emanated strong enough to keep the interests and aims of this
large family, scattered in different States, closely united, and caused the old head of
the house to be consulted and deferred to in all business matters until the day of his
death.
Such rugged and sterling
qualities brought him as might be expected success in life both in its literal and widest
sense, and the many loving hearts of which he and his wife were the centre, attest that he
used his success wisely. As he was practical in business concerns so he was also in his
religion. Religion to him was living, not believing. His life and death could be
summed up as a literal and truthful response to the following precept:
"So live, that when they summons comes to
join
The innumerable caravan, which moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach they grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." |

The Death of Esther Healy
Morley.
The experiences that come
within the period allotted to human life are in general so constant and unvarying in their
nature that regarding them, sages, poets and painters, past and present, whatever their
races or tongue or their mode of expressing it, substantially tell the same story. First
comes passionate, impulsive youth, inspired by unattainable desires and encouraged by
illusory hopes, regardful only of the future. Next comes middle age--the enchantments of
youth rapidly disappearing, but too busily engaged in battling the stern realities of life
to be mindful of much else than the present. Then comes old age--disenchanted at last, it
humbly accepts defeat, and sitting down to rest during the few brief moments allowed it,
sadly looks back upon the crushing sorrows and the blighted hopes that like wrecks lie
strewn along the traveled path.
So truly typical of human life is
this as a whole, that any departure from this established course by individual life
immediately arrests our attention and makes us curious to know the cause. To the many
acquaintances of Mrs. Morley whom a residence of fifty-two years among them had endeared
to her, it is unnecessary to say that though not escaping some of the physical infirmities
naturally belonging to old age, yet that her life as a whole was an exceptional one.
Ninety-one years of an active, eventful life, with its due proportion of afflictions and
sorrows, found her with a mind still undimmed, faculties alert, and with an undiminished
interest in her relatives, neighbors, the people at large and with all of the vital
questions of the present generation. Even when she had reached that extreme point in the
voyage of life where the green and sunny banks of youth had given place to the bleak and
desolate cliffs of advanced old age, and the beating of the surf of that dark and
illimitable ocean was borne to her ears, the dying glow of youthful enthusiasm lingered
over her face until she vanished in its enfolding darkness.
To say that this came solely from
her religious trust, which was strong indeed, would hardly be true, for it would be
presumptuous to say that it was stronger than that of her fellow Christians, but let us
rather attribute these exceptional features to that best gift of Heaven, the power of
coming into close sympathetic relations with every human creature, a power that ignored or
vaulted over all barriers of color, creed or nationality; a sympathy that supported by a
strong, practical, sanguine nature, gave courage to the timid, hope to the despondent and
strength to the weak.
In her latter years she harvested
what she had sown. This undiminished sympathy, this entering into the lives of others,
brought from those of middle and advanced age the companionship that she valued so highly,
and from the young there were reflected back to her the sweetness and enthusiasm of youth
that made, so to speak, her life's spring perennial.
Esther Healy Morley was born in
Charlestown, New Hampshire, Feb. 14, 1798. She was married to Albert Morley Jan. 29, 1818,
and died April 22, 1889. She came with her husband from Brockport, New York, to
Painesville in the summer of 1837, where she lived until the time of her death, occupying
the present homestead for fifty years of this period. She was the mother of ten children,
eight sons and two daughters. Five sons survive her death--J. H. Morley and C. H.
Morley of Cleveland, J. R. Morley of Painesville, and G. W. and E. W. Morley of East
Saginaw, Michigan, all of whom were present at the funeral ceremonies, and together with
the oldest grandson, Thomas H. Marshall, of Chicago, bore the remains of the loved mother
and grandmother to their last resting place in Evergreen Cemetery. |

DEATH OF J. H. Morley
Donor of Painesville Public Library Building Died in
Cleveland Sunday Morning.
Jesse Healy Morley, who presented to
Painesville its fine public library, died at his home, No. 728 Prospect street
[Cleveland], early Sunday morning.
Mr. Morley had been feeling unwell for a
week or more, but his condition was not such as to excite alarm. Saturday he was able to
be out of doors, and that night he retired feeling no worse than for some days past.
Before morning he was taken seriously ill and at 3 o'clock Sunday morning he passed away.
Death was due to heart failure. He was eighty-three years of age.
The parents of the deceased were Esther
Healy and Albert Morley and he was born in Brutus, N. Y. In 1832 he came to Painesville,
where for some time he was employed in the store of his uncle, Lewis Morley. He became a
partner in the firm of A. & W. Morley in 1838, the firm name being changed in 1841 to
A. Morley & Son.
It was in 1847 that he went to Cleveland.
Soon after his arrival he entered into partnership with H. K. Reynolds under the firm name
of Morley & Reynolds. The new firm took over the hardware stock and business of J. F.
Kirtland and Mr. Morley retained his interest in the firm until 1856, when he sold out to
his partner. In 1862 the firm of Morley & Cary with Jesse Healy Morley and John and
George Cary as partners was formed. The firm manufactured corroded lead by what is known
as the "quick process."
Three years later a new firm was formed by
J. H. Morley and T. S. Beckwith under the title of J. H. Morley & Co. This firm did an
extensive business in the manufacture of white lead by the old Dutch process and continued
in business until 1887 when it became the J. H. Morley & Co. branch of the National
Lead Co.
The deceased was one of the pioneer
members of the Cleveland Gas Light & Coke Co., and from 1882 to 1895 was president of
the company, after which time he became vice president, a position which he held to the
time of his death.
Mr. Morley was prominently identified with
numerous other business enterprises of Cleveland. He was vice president of the First
National bank and was also largely interested in the Kelly Island Lime and Transport Co.
He was one of the earliest members of the Union club and continued his connection with
that organization to the time of his death. For many years he was president of the board
of trustees of the Second Presbyterian church of which he was an active and earnest
member.
For years Mr. Morley had been recognized
as one of the ablest business men of the city. He belonged to the old school and was noted
for the clearness of his foresight and the conservativeness of his judgment. From
small beginnings he had built up an extensive business by the most legitimate of methods
and his opinion was much sought after by business men throughout the city. Assistance he
was always ready to give and it was said of him that he did as much for others as for
himself. Absolute integrity, a pleasant personality and the willingness always to help
others made him not only respected but held in the highest regard by his business
associates and friends.
In 1858 Mr. Morley was married to Helen
Marshall Rockwell who with two children, Mrs. Mitchell Kennerly, of New York, and Charles
Rockwell Morley, of Cleveland, survive him.
Mr. Morley earned the gratitude of the
people of Painesville by his donation of the fine library building which bears his name.
Mr. Morley's reason and the purpose for giving the building were full explained in his
address at its dedication. This address also contained many reminiscences of Mr. Morley's
early life which are of much interest. he said in part:
"Friends and Citizens of Painesville;
"No doubt many of you wonder why I, a citizen of Cleveland, manifest as
much interest in your city as this occasion proves. Most of my youth and early manhood was
lived here. The mortal remains of my father and mother lie in the cemetery across the
river; many graves there mark the resting places of members of our family.
"In 1823 our family first settled in the village of Painesville. I, a
lad, came to the village in the fall of 1832, the other members of my father's family came
to Painesville a few years later. Our family was made up of seven boys and two girls. Here
the boys received their business education. Change is nature's law. One of my age and
early environments appreciates how great the changes has been in Painesville, from 1832 to
the present time.
"About sixty-five years ago in a small brick school house built on the
lot where this library building now stands, I received instruction from Josephus
Huntington, the village schoolmaster, who kept, I think, the only school in the village at
the time. In the early thirties, an academy building was erected on the lot where the old
high school building now stands. I attended school at the academy when it was kept by Mr.
and Mrs. Saunders (Mrs. Saunders was a sister of the mother of Senator Mark Hanna, who is
so prominent in the public eye today).
"The business of the village at the time was largely confined to State
street. I helped to set out the trees on your public square. the street then ran through
the square. Many people were in favor of having the street on one side so as to enlarge
the square, so one night C. D. Adams and myself fenced off the direct road; this made a
stir in the village, but thereafter the road around the square remained as at present. On
Liberty street, near the public square, was placed the Methodist meeting house and town
hall combined. The Methodist were then primitive in dress and manners; the garb of the
leading Methodists was almost Quaker-like in its plainness. In the meeting house the males
sat on common unpainted benches with backs, on one side of the main aisle and the
females sat on the other side of the aisle. No objections was raised by parents of other
denominations to their daughters going to a Methodist meeting. After the meeting the young
men lined up on the outside of the meeting house, and each young man picked out his girl
as she came along. It is needless to say that those Sunday evening meetings were very
popular with the young people.
"All village elections were held in this house, as were important trials
before the justice of the peace.
"I was present at the trial of Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet, and
some of his people. The trial took place in the town house. The lawyers of he prosecution
managed to get from some of the witnesses the history of he finding of the gold plates
from which the prophet Smith claimed he translated the Mormon bible.
"For a number of years after leaving Painesville for Cleveland in 1847,
I retained business interest in Painesville, and until the death of my parents, made
frequent visits to your city, and kept in touch with your life and growth. I have always
been interested in whatever concerned the welfare of your city. The members of our family
have a strong personal regard and affection for Painesville.
"This library building is erected in the memory of my parents and I feel
that no act of mine would be more pleasing to them than to contribute to the education and
culture of your people."
The funeral will be held Wednesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Paul E. Sutphen will officiate. |
EDITORIAL, from the
Evening Telegraph of 22 June 1903:
The people of Painesville have good reason
to sincerely mourn the death of J. H. Morley. The donor of our public library had many
friends here who respected and loved him for his qualities as a man of honor and kindly
deeds, There are many others, however, who never met Mr. Morley in person, but who will
deeply regret to hear of his death. These are from the large number who seek recreation
and instruction from the fine storehouse of knowledge that Mr. Morley so kindly and
thoughtfully donated to the city. Mr. Morley recently said that it was one of the pleasant
memories of his life that he could think that he was able to contribute to the education
and culture of Painesville. The fact that he had done something for the place where he
once lived was undoubtedly a source of much satisfaction and contentment to him in his
last days.
Is there not a suggestion in this to others? |
