KEBECCA A. MORRILL,.


 In the death of Rebecca A., wife of
 Benjamin H. Morrill, New Haven loses
 one of her most diligent temperance workers and woman loved and held
 in highest esteem by all who knew her. Rebecca A. Curtiss was born in this city September 30, 1883. She spent most
 of her girlhoodadays in New Haven, but lived in Roxbury, Conn.,, a few years. F L
 On. February 2Oth, 1853, she was mar ried to Bryan Clark of New Haven, and by this marriage had a son, who is
 now deceased. MT. Clark died Septem-
 Der 15 1871, and from that time on Mrs.
 Morrill, devoted most of her time to temperance work.
 Mrs. Clark was married to Benjamin
 H. Morrill, on April l, 1875, of this city. He survives her. One daughter Mrs. Theodore Maltby, one granddaughter, Grace s. Maltby, and one great grand
 daughter, Edith M. Greene, also sur- vive her.
 Mrs, Morrill, was the president of the
 W. T. c. U. No. 1, of this city, and also county vice president. When she first worked for the cause of temperance she held meetings in sa- looms on Saturday night, but later in
 English hall. These meetings gave
 place to cottage meetings because of the inability of many families to attend
 the meetings at English hall. She collected much money and devot- ed it to rescue work until the Florence Crittenton Rescue Mission was estab- lished here, making continuance of that work unnecessary.
 Every New Years Mrs. Morrill, filled about six dinner baskets and distribut- ed them among the needy of the city. At Christmas time she conducted ser vices at .he jail and hospital and fur nished both places with holly. Under her auspices meetings were
 held in the jail every other Tuesday
 and every fourth Sunday in the month. A mothers meeting was held every fourth Wednesday, at which Mrs. Mor- Till presided. For the last two years Mrs Morrill, had been troubled with heart trouble.
 One week ago last Sunday she was attacked by severe acute indigestion
 and .his, aided by her heart weakness, caused her death, which occurred Sum- day afternoon at 12:32. All that loving hands could do was done. Mrs. Morrill, was a member of Cal vary Baptist church, and Rev. George II. Ferris will conduct the funeral ser vices, which will be held at 23 Sylvan avenue this afternoon. Friends are in- vited to attend.
