"At an early hour yesterday morning, after a long illness of paralysis,
Mrs. Margaret Morris, widow of the late William Morris of Plains, passed
away. She was attended in her last moments by her two daughters and
son, who are left heartbroken by an irreparable loss. The end was not
sudden or unexpected, but had been anticipated for several months, the
last few days being marked by unconsciousness since. She was taken with
the first stroke over three years ago. Throughout her illness she
displayed ever the same patient, uncomplaining spirit and Christian
fortitude. Mrs. Morris was born at Meastage, Glan Morganshire, Wales,
and was 48 years and 9 months old. Funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
on Thursday afternoon with services at the Welsh Congregational Church
of which she was a member. Interment in Hollenback Cemetery. Mr.
Morris died in October, 1894. Mrs. Morris's sister from the West was at
her bedside when she died."
