"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." Nancy Cook Pasadena, MD, USA
