FT. GAINES SENTINEL
THE DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN
MANY HEARTS WERE MADE SAD LAST TUESDAY BY THE ANNOUNCEMNT OF THE DEATH OF MRS. 
C.B.MORRIS WHICH OCCURRED AT HER HOME IN THIS CITY  JUST BEFORE NOON ON THAT 
DAY.
MRS. MORRIS HAD LIVED MORE THAN THE ALOTTED THREE SCORE YEARS AND TEN BEING IN 
THE 77TH YEAR OF HER AGE AND INTO HER LONG LIFE WAS CROWDED MUCH THAT WAS GOOD 
AND NOBLE AND THAT MARKED HER AS A WOMAN OF HIGH CHRISTIAN CHARACTER.
SHE HAD BEEN A RESIDENT OF FORT GAINES AND FRANKLIN, JUST ACROSS THE RIVER, 
SINCE GIRLHOOD, AND WAS KNOWN AND LOVELY BY NEARLY EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY, 
MANY HAVING CAUSE TO GRATEFULLY REMEMBER HER FOR SOME DEED OF KINDNESS OR WORD 
OF SYMPATHY AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
SHE HAD BEEN ILL FOR QUITE A WHILE AND WHILE HER LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS 
ANXIOUSLY LOOKED FORWARD TO HER POSSIBLE RECOVERY, THERE WAS PAINFUL DOUBT IN 
THE MINDS OF THOSE EXPERIENCED IN THE OBSERVANCE OF THE RAVAGES OF DISEASE AND 
IT WAS EVIDENT THAT DEATH HAD SET HIS SEAL UPON HER. 
THE FUNERAL SERVICES WHICH WERE LARGELY ATTENDED TOOK PLACE FROM THE BAPTIST 
CHURCH, THE SERVICES BEING TOUCHINGLY CONDUCTED AT THE CHURCH AT THE GRAVE BY 
REV. MESSRS CORLEY AND CRUMBLEY.
BESIDES AN AGED HUSBAND OF HER IMMEDIATE HOUSEHOLD SEVERAL GROWN CHILDREN ARE 
LEFT TO MOURN THE LOSS OF THEIR BEST FRIEND, NAMESLY MRS. W.J. GREENE AND 
MESSRS. C.W. AND T.J. MORRIS OF THIS CITY AND DR. C.T. MORRIS OF SHEFFIELD, 
ALABAMA.
THE SENTINEL JOINING THEIR MANY OTHER FRIENDS, RESPECTFULLY TENDERS THEM ITS 
SINCERE CONDOLENCE IN THEIR SORROW.
