A. Kellerman and Rev. J. G. Litt who called, and his passing a half hour later came as a distinct shock to his family and friends. Although retired from the active ministry five years ago, Mr. Morlock conducted over 100 services relieving various pastors from time to time. He was pastor in fifteen different charges during his 49 years of active ministry, at Elmira, Sebringville, Hespefer, Colborne, Maitland, Hamilton, South Cayuga, Listowel, Milverton, Dashwood, Walkerton, Morriston, New Hamburg, Rodney and St. Jacobs.
