Biographical History
R. M. Morris, career army officer, fought in the Mexican War, and in 1849 traveled overland from Fort Leavenworth to California while serving as escort to General John Wilson. He worked in Benicia, and later served again on the Great Plains. In 1853 he served as captain of a small company of armed riflemen serving as escort and guard to Captain J. W. Gunnison. After Gunnison divided the company to make a reconnoissance of Sevier Lake with a small party, he was killed with six others in his party by a band of Pahvant Indians. Morris was the first to the scene of the massacre. He became Regimental Quartermaster in 1854, fought in the Civil War, and retired in 1873.
