OBIT FOR MARIE MORRISSETTE from Plummer Pioneer 



Mrs. Marie Morrissette



On last Sunday evening at 6:30 Mrs. Marie Morrissette, aged 76 years, was 

called to her last resting place, death being due to heart trouble and old 

age. Mrs. Morrissette was feeling well at supper time and was suddenly taken 

with a fainting spell from which she never recovered. The deceased was born 

in Canada in 1850 and a few years later moved to Massachusetts with her 

parents. It was in Massachusetts that she met and married Isaac Morrissette. 

They moved to the homestead, on which she lived at (sic until) her death in 

1882, and has made her home there ever since. There were five sons and a 

daughter born to them, the daughter died before they left the east and the 

five sons survive, Joseph, Peter, Wilfred, and Alcid all of Plummer and 

Lamay (spelled that way in the newspaper) of Cass Lake, also a brother, 

Louis Creg, of Lion (sic Lyon) Mountain, New York. Her husband died at 

Plummer in 1889 since which time she has been farming the home place with 

her son, Peter. The deceased was the oldest resident in this neighborhood 

and one of the oldest in Red Lake county. She was a woman who was loved by 

all who knew her, a tenderhearted and loving mother and a kind neighbor. 

She was an active member of the Catholic church and a real Christian woman. 

The funeral was held from the Catholic church here on Wednesday morning at

 ___(can't read) o'clock, Father Luetticke, Bouchard and Fafare singing 

Solemn Requiem Mass. The remains were laid away besides those of her 

husband in the cemetery at Red Lake Falls. The five sons and their cousin, 

George Morrissette of Minneapolis, acting as pall bearers. The entire 

community extends their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved relatives in 

their sorrow but we all rest assured that she has gone to rest with her 

Savior in whom she had the utmost faith.



Beneath the obit was this:
