Local Matron Died Last Friday Evening

Mrs. George Morrison passed away on Friday evening of last week at her home at No. 4, after suffering for several months, the cause of death being leakage of the heart.

Mrs. Morrison was born 38 years ago in Pennsylvania. In 1919 she came with her husband and family to Rock Springs where she continued to live until her death, Mr. Morrison being employed at the No. 4 mine. She leaves to mourn her passing besides the husband, one son and three daughters, the youngest being an infant only three weeks of age. Mrs. Frank Taucher of this city is a daughter. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the Sprowell funeral parlors, Rev. H.C. Lynch officiating. Interment was in Mountain View cemetery.
