GEDCOM Note

by Keith Riggle

"It again becomes our sad duty to chronicle the death of one of our aged residents. Mrs. Catharine Morris, wife of Robert Morris, died, at her home on west College st. about one o'clock last Thursday morning, of dropsy. Mrs. Morris was aged 61 years. She was a sister of Peter Brown of this place and Rev. J. R. Brown of Nashville, Tenn. She had been a member of the C. P. Church at this place for over forty years; and was highly esteemed by all who knew her, as a good Christian woman. Her husband and three daughters survive her. Her remains were interred in Green Mount Cemetry [sic] on Friday at 2 P. M. The sorrowing friends have the sympathy of the entire community." From the Waynesburg Republican, see sources
