departed this life June 13, 1922, about 2 P.M. Mr. Morris was born February 7,
1842, and had passed the four score mark. He lived all his life near the place
he was born which is on what is now called Wyatt Mountain a spur of the Blue
Ridge. He was a man of sterling character, firm and immovable from what he
considered right. He led a modest and quiet Christian life, devoted to his dear
wife and children, which he was especially interested in. Mr. Morris was an
industrious man always well providing for his family and their needs both
financially and otherwise. He was a member of the Christian Church most all of
his life, being one of the charter members of Old Mt. Union church which was
later moved to the Pines and the name changed to Mt. Olivet. He remained true to
his church till death, which showed he was a man of firm conviction. The world
needs men of this type in every walk of life, a man or woman that is going from
one church to another expecting to better their condition in life find out in
the end they are sadly mistaken. Mr. Morris leaves to mourn his loss his wife,
Mary and two daughters. Mrs. Charlotte Roach, of Dyke, and Miss Rosa Morris, who
has so faithfully stayed with her father and cared for his every need until his
last moments he left two sons, Jenus Morris, of March and Jonas Morris, of Dyke.
Mr. Morris had four brothers two of which are living and two have passed to the
great beyond; his living brothers are Isaac Morris of Nimrod and Bluford Morris
of Mission Home. Both brothers that preceded to the other world were Benjamin
and Nathaniel Morris of Pirkey. He had two sisters, Mrs. Rachel Morris and Mrs.
Rebecca Shiflett of near Pirkey. The county has lost a good and useful citizen,
his wife a loving husband, his children a kind father, the community a good
neighbor. The burial took place on his farm in the presence of a large concourse
of people; who come to pay the last tribute of respect to a good man. His
funeral will be preached sometime during the summer months.

ARBUTUS MORRIS STEPHENS
Arbutus Morris Stephens, born May 9, 1933 in Dyke, Virginia peacefully departed
this world on December 16, 2023. Arbutus will be remembered for her passion of
gardening and cooking comfort food as well as a vigorous defense of her strongly
held beliefs. She might have even been referred to as a "tadstubborn" on
occasion. While not overtly emotional, she expressed her love by generously
sharing the bounty from her enormous garden and by over-filling the bellies of
her family and friends with country cooking, which was an integral part of her
culture. A cup of coffee and a meandering conversation with a loved one,
preferably in the glow of a woodburning stove, was her idea of a perfect moment;
one that seemed to nurture her soul. She believed that simplicity was the
ultimate virtue; that a neatly stacked pile of firewood was a work of art; that
a heat pump was something to be despised and that technology was an unnecessary
complication of life. In many ways she was the epitome of Tom Brokaw's "Greatest
Generation." Arbutus was preceded in death by her parents Leonard and Louise
Morris; her husband Horris Dabney Stephens; her sonHorace Wayne Stephens; and
four sisters - Freddie Mae Morris,Geneva Morris, Juanita Shifflett and Flossie
Watson. She is survived by her son, Bill Stephens (Lynda), daughter-in-law
Patricia Stephens, grandchildren – Ahren Foster (Ryan), Meghan Stephens (and
Eamon), Carson Stephens (Mattie), Patrick Stephens (Jackie), and Lauren
Woodberry (Craig); great grandchildren – Addison, Hudson, Nellie, Benjamin,
Rhett, Roselyn and Ella Jay; sisters – Rozenia Shifflett and Naomi Crawford; and
numerous nieces and nephews. Visitation will occur at Anderson Funeral Home,
5888 St. George Avenue, Crozet, VA on Wednesday, December 27 from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
