James V.M. Morris, Methodist clergyman, was born July 15, 1830, in Spaulding County, Georgia, and died August 14, 1927, in Atlanta, Georgia. He became a minister circa 1853 and retired circa 1904. During the Civil War, Morris was stationed in Sparta, Georgia, to provide for the soldiers and their families, but for most of his career he was a circuit rider and considered Athens, Georgia, his home.
