Caption: "The material thanks - $31,003.81 worth - given by Oklahomans and Texans to this state's most seriously maimed war veteran brought a happy smile to Sgt. Elmer Morriss Sunday as he rode through Ardmore streets to a ceremony in which Governor Kerr presented the money to him. He is shown beside his father, E. L. Morris, and his wife and mother in the back seat. The money will buy the one-time Ringling farm boy and his wife land, a new home and set him up in business."
