The unexpected death of Mrs Morrow again forces us to realize that life and death walk hand and hand amid the busiest scenes of earth. Thereby we are made to halt and pay our respects to the destroying angel. Happy the one who alks with God and is prepared for the summons, "Come with me," From our midst is taken an ideal homemaker, kind to all with whom she came in contact and a woman who loved her husband, her child and home above all wordly things. To the bereaved ones the community extends its heartfelt sympathy; they should find comfort in the thought that they will be reunited forever in the yers to come. All that tread the earth will slumber in its bosom and at the last grand awakening on the other shore we will meet to part no more.

Funeral services were conducted at Union church on Sunday, Aug 22, Rev Barnett, of Carrollton, offciating. The intement was in the adjoining cemetery ARGUS 7-27-1915 (newspaper).
