J. Morgan, who resides two miles east of Ronceverte, died Thursday, Feb. 1, 1923. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, four sons and one daughter, fifteen grandchildren, one sister and two brothers and a host of friends. She had not been in good health for several years, but for the last three months and a half she had been confined to her bed. She bore her affliction patiently and said she was ready to go. Mrs. Morgan united with the Primitive Baptist Church about forty-five years ago and ever after lived a Christian life. When the appointed time came, God called her up higher to be with him. Mother is gone; she is not dead but sleepeth. She has only gone on before us, awaiting the glorious resurrection. May He prepare all her children to meet Mother. May we as a family be caught up with Mother: to meet Jesus with all our loved ones and ever be with Him. She was laid to rest in the family burying ground, beside her father and mother, with a large number of relatives and friends present. Mrs. Morgan was 64 years, 2 months and 21 days of age, and is survived by her husband and the following children: D. W. Morgan and M. F. Morgan, of Ronceverte: J. L. Morgan of Hinton; Mrs. C. E. Long of Backbone, VA and Hubert, at home, all of whom where at the burial. Verse after the Obit: Dearest Mother thou hast left us and our loss we deeply feel, But it's God that has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal Yet again we hope to meet thee, when the day of life is fled When in heaven in joy to greet thee where no farewell tear is shed.
