Located within Riverside Park and near a pavillion is a citizen memorial which comprises a boulder with a plaque that reads:

DEDICATED MAY 10, 1961 |
Amazingly, I was able to find out via FindaGrave.com that Morris died in 1960 and is buried in San Gabriel Cemetery (outside Los Angeles). A 1930 census mentions that he was a manufacturer of boxes. His page can be viewed here
