SUMMONED FROM HOME IN NEWARK
Mrs. Thomas J. Morris Died at Ripe Old Age of More Than Seventy-Nine Years.
Mahala Ann Washburn was born in Oldham county, Kentucky, April 15, 1837, and died at her home in Newark, Missouri, February 13, 1917, aged 79 years, 9 months and 28 days. She grew to womanhood in her native state and in August, 1855, was given in marriage to L. G. Berry. In November of the same year they moved to Knox county, where on November 16, 1860, her husband died. To them were born four children, of whom one died in infancy. Those surviving their mother are Mrs. Ollie K. Anderson and Mrs. Etta Hudson, both of Knox county, and Luther L. Berry, of Lawton, Oklahoma.
On December 6, 1864, she was united in marriage to Thomas J. Morris, who with their son, John T. Morris, survive her. Besides these she leaves six grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Of her father's family there remain two sisters, Mrs. Lucy Throckmorton, of LaBelle, and Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, of Novelty, and James W. Washburn, of near La Belle.
She united with the Newark Baptist church in 1857 under the preaching of Rev. Gardner Berry, father of her first husband. She was a splendid type of womanly character, faithful and devoted in all the relations of life. Her Christian life was in perfect harmony with her profession. She was a kind neighbor and was so kind and obliging as to win the praise and admiration of all who knew her. After her long and faithful service she passes sweetly away to eternal rest.
Funeral services were held from the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. G. C. Kell. A large congregation asembled [sic] to witness the ceremonies, and many beautiful floral offering were in evidence as an expression of the high regard in which she was held.
Her remains were laid to lest in the cemetery west of town, where repose the bodies of so many of the excellent people who have lived in and near the splendid community of Newark.
