- Residence: 03 Apr 1935, San Francisco, California; Address:
126 Dorchester Way San Francisco, California 94127 United States
- Will: 03 Apr 1935, San Francisco, California; Milton E. Morris probate file (San Francisco Superior Court file #069407):
"Bear in mind as you read my summary below that these were financially difficult years in a country that was deep in depression until we entered World War II. That said, reading between the lines I think there may have been some mismanagement involved; certainly at the very least, there was suspected mismanagement, as you will see.
"Milton Morris died testate in San Francisco 3 April 1935, leaving a son John (age 18) and a younger daughter, Betty Jane (age 11). Legal heirs also included two sisters and three nephews (oddly not including Jack Allen, although in the will he is called a nephew). Housekeeper, Marie Louise Bertin was named as the preferred physical caregiver of the children and it was requested that the residence not be sold. Heirs named were the two children, nephew Jack B. Allen, and another nephew Milton Morris all to share in the business, plus friends Henry Boomer, Jack Donohue and S. O. Smith who were all relieved of moneys owed to Milton. The wording of the will appears to suggest that Milton did not care for his late wife's family, and he specifically stated that they were to stay away from the children.
"Because his wife Katherine had died the previous year, it was necessary to appoint guardians to protect the children's interest. Jack B. Allen and Henry Boomer were named executors and guardians of the children's interest. Milton had an auto parts and equipment business, "Little Auto Parts Co.," and the executors immediately petitioned (April 9, 1935) to allow the business to continue, at least for awhile, in the best interest of preserving the estate. Initial claims against the estate included a Bank of America promissory note for $2,680, taxes, doctors' bills, the Halsted Diercks bill for cremation and funeral, and an inurnment fee from Cypress Lawn (niche 133, tier 4, sec. H). Major items in the $43,650 inventory were a two-story residence in the Merritt Terrace section of San Francisco ($5,500), unimproved property bounded by Edinburgh and Peru Streets ($700), a lot and cottage in San Mateo Co. ($700), unimproved properties in Hawthorne, Los Angeles Co. ($300) and Santa Cruz Co. ($100) stock ($2,883), jewelry ($985), and his business at 701 Golden Gate Avenue (valued at $30,602 plus $579 in receivables).
"Almost immediately stocks were sold and in December the Merritt Terrace house was mortgaged. The following February, the executors mortgaged the property at 701 Golden Gate and later in the year began to liquidate the business. A man named A. L. May was named to oversee the distribution of assets to pay off creditors. Unpaid rent (the mortgage?) on 701 Golden Gate began to mount in 1937, and the unimproved property on Edinburgh Street and the Merritt Terrace house were sold. All this occurred before there was any accounting by the executors, which is rather unusual and appears to have been the basis for subsequent litigation. In 1938, an attorney was hired by Jack and Betty Jane to contest the way the business was being run and liquidated. Several creditors objected to the compensation that was being received by the executors, and the situation appears to have been getting messy.
"Finally in 1939, the executors presented a first accounting (somewhat overdue) in which it was stated that the business was operating at a loss and that total assets had dwindled to $8,075. More unimproved property was sold. The children's lawyer demanded a final accounting in May of 1940, and in August accused Allen and Boomer of mismanagement and demanded that they be removed. In October the
executors filed an amended accounting showing assets of $1,933 in cash, one unimproved lot and some remaining stock, and agreed to distribute all but the cash, which may have been needed to assure that final fees would be paid."

- Biography: 29 Apr 2009; From a letter dated 29 Apr 2009 from Barbara Mae [Morris] Anderson:
"I really don't know much about my fther as he never talked about himself. Almost everything I do know came from my mother.
"After his father died [1901] the family thought that it was better for him to be raised by Max and Rachel King than by a single lady, a decision my dad resented all of his life. This is why he severed relations with most of the family. He went to the 5th grade at Los Alamos Schol then worked in the general store where he said he was treated as a slave rather than as a family member.
"As a teenager he worked as a cowboy on one of the large ranches in that area, spent time as a telegrapher for the railroad out of Santa Maria, California, then went to Los Angeles where he was a driver for some wealthy lady who owned a candy company. After that I know very little except that on returning to San Francisco he went to work with his uncle Milt at Little Auto Company on Van Ness Avenue and was there until the depression wiped out the company. He then went into partnership with Gus Griese to run Auto Spring and Wheel Service, 701 Octavia Street. He eventually bought out Gus and was still the owner and operator when he died and my brother took over.
"During World War II he was a member of the Coast Guard Auxillary, serviced local lighthouses and learned to shoot hand guns, life-long hobby after that. He also played the drums, loved photography, old cars, and traveling.
"My brother was quite ill as a child and took much of mother's time so I was practically raised by my dad and have wonderful memories of all the things we did especially on weekends. He waa a kind and loving man that would do anything for someone who needed help."
Milton married Marie Frances Voss about 1921 in San Francisco, California. Marie (daughter of Franciscus Voss and Katherina Josephine Shorn) was born about 1900 in California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
