in Poor Health for
Years.
Her GirIhood Home Was in the Heart Of
Earlington's Present Site.

Elizabeth Morton, wife of Jno.
G. Morton, the pioneer banker of
jacksonville, died about noon on
Tuesday, November 28th. The
end came with unexpected sud
deness, although Mrs. Morton
had been in poor health for sew

upon the attack of throat
trouble that had been trouble
some in The past. After brief
illness, she became unconscious
and sank rapidly to the end. The
deceased was seventy six years
and six months old at her death.
Mrs. Morton was, before her
marriage, Miss Elizabeth Young,
daughter of the late Crutchfield
Young, whose homestead has
since become the center Of the
business section of the city of
Darlington. The Young home
indeed stood exactly on the spot
now occupied by the residence of
Mr.. Jno. b. Atkinson. 1t was
here that Miss Young, who VAS
looked upon as the most beauti
full young woman in the whole
country, was wooed and won BY
the young farmer, who was after
ward to become one)f the most
potent financial factors in Wes-
tern Kentucky.
Elizabeth Young was born in
May, 1929. She was married, at
the aye of seventeen, to John g
Morton on Dec. 26, 1916 Their
home was made on farm west
of Darlington, in the first frame
house built in this section of the
country; the house that later be-
came generally known as the
"white house" The remnants
of this house were TORI away
within the past fifteen years.
There were born TO Mr.. and
Mrs Morton, six children, Chas.
E., David A., Mary, Helen,
Elizabeth and William c., in or
der of age, the three oldest of
whom are dead. Those of the
family who survive are the hus
band, Mr. John q. Morton, who
has kept his strength well most of
the eighty four wears of his life,
Mrs. John G. Hall, Mrs. Joel
Mcpherson and Mr.. w. G. Nor
ton, all of jacksonville. Mrs.
Morton is also survived by one
brother, Mr.. Caleb Young, of
Madisonville.
The funeral services which
were held yesterday afternoon
at the family residence, were
simple, as IMPLYING the simple,
peaceful, helpful life just ended.
The Rev. S F. Fowler, of the
Christian church, who officiated,
spoke of the quiet deeds of love
and usefulness with which her
life had been filed. The de-
ceased had been a member of the
Grapevine congregation for fifty
years and the remains were
taken there for burial alongside
those of her children and rela-
tives.
