GAY HILL
Gay Hill, Nov. 12--Our community was saddened on October 29 by the death of Grandmother Morrison. She had lingered many months as a bed-ridden patient, having received a fall last December, from which injuries she never recovered. She was 87 years of age and everyone who knew her was glad of having formed the acquaintance of such a good Christian woman. The funeral services were held at the Davis Cemetery. Rev. Bryant of Thorndale officiating. She leaves three sons and five daughters, to whom we extend sympathy.
