He took a deep interest in the Pennsylvania Hospital,and was President of the Board of Managers.He was also President of the Board of Managers of Haverford College.The great interest which Mr.Morris had taken in the Hospital during his life inspired his family,after his death,to offer to defray the entire expense of building a new surgical pavilion,to be known as the "Wistar Morris Memorial Ward." The amount required was $150,000,and the building was erected on the grounds at Eighth and Spruce streets.Wistar and Mary (Harris) Morris had issue: Mary Hollingsworth Morris,b.1-18-1864;d.6-25-1891;m.9-6-1883, Rev.Charles Wood,D.D.,b.1851;pastor of the Presbyterian church,Spruce street,Philadelphia,and had issue: Wistar Morris,b.7-23-1884;d.1887.
