Jefferson street at 7:45 a.m. today. Two weeks before she was taken with la grippe, and pneumonia setting in a week later, which terminated in her death. For four days prior to her death she suffered intensely, and while apparently conscious nearly up to the last moment she was unable to make known her wishes by speech, and thus she died. Harriet Staples was born in North Adams, Mass., June 20, 1827. When at the age of 2 years she moved with her parents to Oneida county, N.Y. She was married to Mr. Morse at Rome, N.Y, in May, 1858. Four years later they moved to Kane county, this state, and in 1868 they came to Morris where they have continued to reside. Deceased was a strictly home woman, seldom going from home unless it be to church, which she did with almost unfailing regularity. No children were born to the union. Her husband, who is in feeble health, so feeble as to preclude his presence at the last sad rites, is bowed down with grief, and to him the sympathy of all is extended. The funeral will take place from the Congregational church tomorrow at 2:30, Rev. C.C. Warner, officiating. File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/il/grundy/obits/m/morse429nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/ilfiles/ File size: 1.7 Kb
