NALS 18 Jul 1877 p4 c1: Death in Greenville Township. The wife of Mr. Wash. Morton, of
Greenville township, this county, died on Tuesday last, and her remains were brought to
the city for interment today. Mrs. Morton was favorably known in this city and county as
one of the best of women. After a long and useful life, she has gone to her rest, with the
lively hope that in the morning of the resurrection she will be numbered with those who
will surround the great white throne. She was a faithful and loving wife, a kind parent
and excellent neighbor. Mrs. Morton had suffered for a number of years from a disease of
the left shoulder, which baffled the physicians, and a short time previous to her death,
she requested an examination after she died. The shoulder was greatly enlarged, and the
pain arising from the disease was at times almost unbearable. Dr. Easley visited the
family residence this morning to make the examination, but we have not heard the result.
