Mrs. MORRIS was the mother of one child, a son, who survives her; in all the cares and perplexities of life, she always maintained a true patient Christian spirit, and always a wise conservative and guide.

Also Mrs. MOORE, but for the floral offerings and sympathy toward them through her sickness and our bereavement. Samuel S. MORRIS Mr. and Mrs. D.H.
