[2, 3] Geschlecht männlich Gestorben 11 Feb 1914 Denver, Colorado, USA [3] - David Hinsey Morton was the youngest of the four children of George Reynolds Morton and Elizabeth Morton Morton, whose Memorial pages are linked to his. David was preceded in death by his two sisters, Cornelia Morton Cross ( August 6, 1867, to March 23, 1887) and Mary Ann Morton Denius (Sept. 26, 1869, to February 2, 1892). David was survived by his wife, Emma Lotz Morton (1877-1962), and daughters, Edith Elizabeth Morton (Bippus, January 12, 1905, to March 1988) and Ruth E. Morton (Garver, August 23, 1907, to February 19, 2004), all of whose Memorials are liked to his. David was also survived by one niece -- Mary Elizabeth Morton -- and three nephews -- William and Paul Morton and Leonard (Lee) Cross -- and by his brother, William Welsh Lewis Morton (Sept. 9, 1871, in Preble County, Ohio, to Nov. 9, 1931, at Elmwood Place, Ohio) and sister-in-law, Anna Schultheiss Morton who was born on Sept. 8, 1879, at Hattenhoppen, Kreis Göppingen, in the Kingdom of Württemberg within the German Empire, and died on July 21, 1950, at Cincinnati, Ohio.

Before 2014, Bruce & Karen Garver donated to the Byers-Evans House Museum of the Colorado State Historical Society a small collection of nine to ten digital photographs related to the family of William Evans including the above three 1909 to 1913 photographs of David Hinsey Morton in or alongside automobiles owed by Willam Evans, president of the Denver & Northwestern Railway and president of the Denver Tramway.

David Hinsey Morton (1878-1914) traveled from Hamilton to Colorado, in late 1904 or early 1905 to seek employment at the recommendation of his physician who believed that Colorado's dryer climate would facilitate David's continued recovery from tuberculosis. Through the help of Rudolph Wismeyer, David obtained employment as the mechanic and chauffeur for the William Gray Evans family who lived at 1310 Bannock Street in Denver, today's Byers-Evans House Museum owned and managed by the Colorado State Historical Society. At that time, Rudolph Wismeyer, a nephew of Emma Lotz Morton’s oldest sister, Elizabeth (“Lizzie”) Lotz Wismeyer (1860-1962) and her husband Christian Wismeyer (1861-1913), served as the manager of the Evans Ranch in the foothills of the Front Range west of Denver. Shortly after beginning work for William Evans, David Morton rented a small row house on Elati Street near the corner of 14th Street and a short walk distant from the Evans home. He then sent for his wife, Emma, and young daughter Edith, to join him in Denver as early as the fall of 1905. David's Methodism may have played some small part in his having obtained such excellent employment because the members of Evans family were active members of nearby Trinity Methodist Church in downtown Denver. David and Emma Morton became members of this church and enrolled Edith and Ruth in its Sunday school. I, Bruce Morton Garver, have an illustrated postcard - postmarked Oct. 15, 1906 -- from Sunday school teacher “Mrs. Child” addressed to “Miss Edith Morton” at “1253 Galapago” Street inviting her to attend “Rally Day” on October 20, 1912.
As late as the 96th year of her life, Ruth Morton Garver told her children and grandchildren how on February 11th 1914, her mother, Emma Lotz Morton, had withdrawn her and Edith from the John Evans Elementary School to accompany her to their nearby home on 1253 Galapago Street in order to observe their father die of pneumonia. For Edith and Ruth this experience proved to be both unpleasant and enduringly memorable. Though conceding that her mother meant well by what she had done, Ruth nonetheless always thought that this had been a rather "cruel thing to do", particularly to a six-year-old daughter and her nine-year old sister. Several times when I and my sister, Ann Clifton Garver, visited David Hinsey Morton's grave in Hamilton's Greenwood Cemetery in the company of our mother Ruth, she commented on the fact that her mother, Emma, had obliged her and her sister in March 1914 to look down into the empty grave into which their father within his coffin was about to be lowered. When describing this experience, Ruth mentioned that she had been very reluctant to do what her mother had instructed her and Edith to do, even though she had readily obeyed.
