Morris Herald, July 14, 1876
From birth to death is but a step, and we are under the painful necessity of 
noting the death of Miss Mary E. Leavens, aged 19 years, on July 4th. She was 
taken sick at Mrs. H. K. Avery’s, where she was also living at the time, with 
scarlet fever in its severest form, and lived barely a week after the onset of 
the disease. Although none of her relatives were near, she was attended with 
all the care and solicitude of a mother and sisters by Mrs. Avery and by Mrs. 
Edson, Mrs. Adrian Kinley, Miss Alice Richards and Miss Stella Kinley. We 
mention these names as a Roll of Honor – these ladies, laying aside their 
dread of contagion, ministered at the bedside of the sick and dying girl as 
though she was one of their own flesh and blood. Mr. Jeff Jones and other 
citizens are also deserving of great credit for attentions and kindnesses to 
the deceased.
