Mrs. J. M. Morris, Mrs. W. L. Burk and daughter, Dorothy, who were called here 
by the illness and death of her mother, Mrs. J. M. Morris, returned yesterday 
to Atlanta. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, October 17, 1918) 

Mrs. J. M. Morris, In April, 1861, there was born near Rockmart a little girl, 
who developed into one of the gentlest and sweetest of spirits. I have often 
thought my friend, Mrs. J. M. Morris, must have been born good, it seems so 
easy for her to be good, apparently without the struggles and battles necessary 
in others to attain it. In those early days of our friendship, when we were 
neighbors, she was bright, cheerful and naturally optimistic. She was guileless 
by nature, and seemed to think no evil. A most industrious woman, a great home 
lover, a true home builder she ever was. When her children were small, 
clustered around her knees, trampling her toes, she would so often say, "No one 
can ever know how I really enjoy my children, no joy in life is comparable to 
my association with them, oh, I am so happy with them, my little ones." Now 
that they have all attained maturity and realize the blessedness of such a 
mother’s love, they have some conception of the richness of their inheritance. 
One beautiful daughter preceded her across the Great Divide; two others, 
dutiful and faithful, together with one son and several grandchildren are 
living to call her memory blessed. She was married to Mr. Morris in Sept., 
1878, and was ever a most devoted wife. One to do him good and not evil always, 
and one in whom his heart could trust with abiding faith. Just why my good 
friend, so sweet and unassuming, of free from harm or vices of any kind, should 
have been called to so many years of acute suffering and physical agony, I do 
not know. Thank God, there is a land where no such things can enter and I 
believe my friend is there, and some day if I am faithful I hope to see her 
glorified, free from pain and happy. Dear all wise, never erring Father, 
comfort these grieved hearts, and may her beckoning hands, with the mercy ones 
of the Savior, draw them to thee in love and submission – Mrs. R. O. Pitts
