Morris Herald, Dec 9, 1893
Mrs. Augustus Morse died at her late home on W. 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.
