John Morris died April, 1877. Sister Morris has been a member U. B church for a number of years. She said that she was prepared to meet her God. She leaves four children, Charles Ballard, William Ballard, Walter Ballard, Emma Dillman, and George Morris. These mourn the loss of a faithful and loving mother. But while these mourn, she is enjoying a happy reunion with those that went before her. She has a host of friends and relatives to mourn her departure."

She is my grandmother's aunt.
