Morton Charles Lewis [Male] b. 5 MAR 1915 Chicago, IL - d. 19 APR 2006 Laurel, Prince George's Co., MD
Warren Haddox Sothoron, Jr. married Jacqueline Grace (Morton) Hess, daughter of Charles and Millicent (Britton) Morton, at Ellicott City Court House, Howard Co., MD on 24 May 1996. It was the second marriage for both. (Marriage Certificate, personal knowledge of WHS*)
** Obituary (written by WHS*, approved by Charlie's children)
Charles Lewis Morton of Laurel, MD died at his residence on 19 April 2006 of congestive heart failure at the age of 91.
"Charlie" was born in Chicago, IL on 5 March 1915 to Charles Nicholas Morton (born in Canada) and Frances Howard (born in Kentucky).
His family moved to Upper Marlboro, MD in the 1920s, thence to a farm near Guilford in Howard County, MD, where his mother died when he was 13.
Charlie graduated from Ellicott City High School and attended the University of Maryland for one year. He worked at various jobs, including the Civilian Conservation Corps, until enlisting as a Private in the Army Air Corps on 2 June 1941.
During World War II he served as a Flight Engineer in an aerial and reconnaissance mapping unit, covering portions of Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and South America. He attained the rank of Master Sergeant and was awarded the Air Medal.
Charlie and Millicent ("Millie") Leroy Britton of East Orange, NJ were married on 31 January 1942. They made their home in Laurel, MD after the War, living there until moving to Brunswick, GA in 1974. They returned to Maryland in 1994 and resided at the Charlestown Retirement Community, Catonsville, MD, where Millie died in 2000 after 58 years of marriage. Because of failing health, Charlie moved to Morningside House in Laurel in August of 2005.
After World War II Charlie and his friend Jesse Mitchell formed Maintenance Service Company, initially providing window cleaning services, and later also janitorial services and fire damage restoration. He turned management of the company over to his eldest son Charles in 1969 and fully retired in 1974.
In Laurel he was a member of the Laurel Lions Club and American Legion, participating in many charitable causes, including annual Christmas tree sales, blood drives and food drives. He was an active Mason, a member of the Grand Council of Royale Select Masters of Maryland, and a member of the Almas Shriners. He was also a member of the Laurel Parks Association during the time the Laurel Swimming Pool was built. While living in Georgia he was an active member of the Brunswick Country Club.
Charlie was an avid golfer, boater and fisherman. During the 1950s he coached Laurel Boys Club baseball teams and served for a while as a scout for the St. Louis baseball franchise. He also had a strong interest in horse racing and was registered with the Maryland Racing Commission as an owner.
Charlie had 4 younger siblings, all of whom predeceased him. One sister died in infancy. His brothers Howard and David were pilots in the Army Air Corps during World War II: David died in combat, and Howard died after a 30 year career as a pilot with American Airlines. A sister, Albina ("Beanie"), was an Army Nurse during the War. He is survived by his seven children: Jacqueline Grace Sothoron of Mason Neck, VA; Charles L. Morton, II. of Silver Spring, MD; Gail Virginia Morton of Mt. Horeb, WI; Lee S. Morton of Laurel, MD; Melanie Morton Warakomski of Herndon, VA; Karen Morton Palmour of Cody, WY; and Jeffrey Scott Morton of Richmond Hill, GA. He is also survived by nine grandchildren: Megan, Kevin, Allison, Scott and Charles Morton; David and Timothy Rooney; and Matthew and Katherine Warakomski.
Burial services will be held privately at Christ Episcopal Church in Columbia, MD, where many others of his family are interred.
