Death of Mrs. N. Morris
Mrs. Catherine Morris departed this life at St. John's hospital, St. Louis, Oct. 17th, 1890. She was 48 years of age, and had been a member of the Methodist church from her early life. Was married to Nat Morris July 1874; two boys, aged 15 and 12 respectively, were her last earthly care, but committed them to God, and her attendants say never murmured but "died as the christian dies;" a host of friends testify that she lived as the christian lives. Peace to her memory. — M.
