The Morris Brothers

J. Paul and Walter “Walt” Morris were the only sons of J.O. and Almeda Morris. J.O. was the vice president of Everett Packing Company, a cannery near Pier 1 on the Everett waterfront. Because of their father’s work, the brothers spent a good deal of time on the water as boys. Early on, both had a fascination or the sea and for boats. Both were dreamers and, as children, they designed model boats. After their schooling, the young men moved on to making real boats. Eventually both married. Paul and Faith (Kellogg) had three daughters, Sidney, Gretchen, and Julie; while Walt and Barbara (Shangle) had two sons, Kelley and Jack.
