From "The Central Presbyterian" Vol. 34, No. 37 dated March 8, 1899:
Action of the Southern Brazil Mission on January 20th, 1899:
Having learned with deep sorrow of the death of Mrs. Mary Thompson, wife of the Rev. Charles R. Morton, the Southern Brazil Mission adopts the following resolutions, and orders that a copy of them be spread upon the minute book, and that copies be sent also to Mr. Morton, Missionary, and to the other church papers:
1. In the death of Mrs. Morton, who passed away in the freshness and bloom of young womanhood, after three years of earnest and efficient service in Brazil, a home has been robbed of a faithful wife and devoted mother, our mission circle has lost one of its brightest and most attractive members, and the cause of Christian missions in Brazil one of its most devoted friends and zealous workers.
2. Bowing in meek submissiveness to the will of Him whose "ways are higher than our ways," and who has called his young handmaiden to the higher service of his heavenly kingdom, we extend to our sorrowing brother our deep sympathy, praying that he may be sustained and cheered by the Holy Comforter and his little one borne tenderly in the loving arms of the great Shepherd.

Mrs. Mary Morton's Work in Brazil.
By Rev. H.S. Allyn, M.D., SaoJoao Del Rei, Brazil, January 9, 1899
Messrs. Editors – the home church papers brought us the sad news that our fellow worker, Mrs. Mary Thompson Morton – wife of Rev. C.R. Morton – passed through the shadow into the heavenly light on October 22 [1898]. While this was not altogether unexpected to her friends here, the news came to us as a great shock, for we had hoped that the ocean trip and the home-going might at least postpone for a time the fatal termination of her terrible malady – consumption. But the Lord willed otherwise. …….
May the Lord remember the needs of her unfinished work (or rather, the unfinished work she gave her life for), and may he remember, and be very near and dear to her bereft companion as he returns to take up his life-work here single-handed, but especially may the Good Father Remember little Edna in her great loss of a mother's care and love, is the prayer of one of Mrs. Morton's fellow-workers.
