         LOUIS E. MORRIS is a native of Scotland, and first came to
       this country with his parents in 1852. After receiving a com-
       mon school education, he returned to Europe to pursue his
       studies. After remaining abroad about three years, he returned
       to this country, and entered the University of Michigan at Ann
       Arbor, where he graduated in 1874. Shortly after graduation he
       was admitted to the bar, and began the practice of law at Lud-
       ington. In 1875 he removed to Manistee, and settled himself
       permanently here in the practice of his profession. In the Fall
       of 1876 he was elected prosecuting attorney for the county, and
       was re-elected in the Fall of 1878. He was city attorney for
       four years, and last Spring was elected a justice of the peace.
       MR. MORRIS is a prominent member of the Democratic party, and
       takes a leading part in the politics of the county. He is con-
       nected with several of the societies represented in the city.
