Shelia, There's a John Morris in the state death index who died in Calcasieu Parish 6/9/1915 at the age of 74.  This would mean he was born c. 1840.  If you're interested in ordering his death certificate, it's Page: 16944 Volume: 5 of the 1915 statewide death records.  This may or may not be your Jean Maurice, but the death certificate would likely list his wife's name.
