 Mrs. Louisa Preston Morrison, widow of the late Charles F. Morrison, died from gradual decline on Monday morn- ing at South Wilmington, whore she had been resident for the last forty years, at the age of 77. She was of the old Wilmington stock, having been the last surving daughter of the late Amos Pres ton. She united with the Baptist church in early life, and has been a good wife, mother and neighbor, respected by all who knew her. Her ever ready wit and powers of memory made her company en- tertaining and agreeable, and leads her friends to regret that another link that bound us to the past is broken.
