MRS WOODSON MORRIS ANSWERS LAST SUMMONS
******************************************************************
Beloved Young Matron of Fulton Passes Into Eternal Sleep After Several Weeks' Illness 

   Mrs. Woodson Morris, one of the most beloved young matrons of the city,
passed away Sunday evening at 7 o'clock at the residence of Judge and Mrs.
J. W . Sellars on Eddings Street after an illness of several weeks. 

   Mrs. Morris had been in a serious condition for quite awhile and although 
her illness was of a fatal nature the relatives were hoping against hope that
she would recover, but it had been decreed otherwise and the gentle spirit 
fluttered out just at the time when life should have held most for her. 
 
   On January 6, 1890, a daughter of Mrs. Thomas Cox at Water Valley, Ky was
born and was christened Marianna. While she was yet a child she with her 
parents moved to Fulton at which place they had since made their home. 

   In the course of years she grew to beautiful young womanhood, beautiful in
character, in every phase of life and the beauty of her soul radiated throughout 
her very countenance. She was one of the most loved of Fulton's native young 
ladies and from the smallest waif on the streets to the highest member of 
society she was regarded as purity and beauty personified.
 
   On December 25, 1910, on a beautiful Christmas Day, when the holiday bells
were ringing out good cheer and happiness to all, she was united in holy 
marriage to Mr. Woodson Morris, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Morris, some 
of the city's most substantial and best loved people. The ceremony was performed 
in Union City by Rev. W. C. Sellars, an uncle by marriage of the deceased. 

   Mrs. Morris was a member of the First Methodist church of this city and had
been since childhood. She was one of that kind of church member who believed in 
doing good many ways outside the church and her tender ministrations to those in 
trouble or distress were many indeed. 

   A number of years ago Thos. Cox, father of the deceased passed away in this
city. The widow was married to Judge J. W . Sellars, who has been all a father 
could have been to his stepchildren. 

   The city of Fulton is bowd down in grief at the passing of this beloved
daughter and every heart has experienced a pang of sorrow that nothing can 
erase. She was respected and loved by all and unnumbered expressions of sympathy 
are heard on all sides. 

   She is gone, but her memory will linger. Her life was pure and beautiful and
beyond the stars among the choir invisible she is serene and safe in the bosom 
of God. 

   Surviving Mrs. Morris are her husband, Woodson Morris, her mother and 
stepfather, Judge and Mrs. J. W. Sellars, one sister Mrs. John B. Carden of 
Meridian, Miss., and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their irreparable 
loss. 

   Tenderest sympathy is extended the grief-stricken relatives in this hour of
overwhelming and heart-rending sadness.
