Death of Mrs. J. W. Morrow.

When the message came early Monday
morning, October 20, 1913, that the earth
ly record of one of natures noble women
in the person of Mrs. Martha Uncapher
Morrow bad closed, it brought to us the
blessed reality that a life, we'll rendered,
had gone to be with God. For months
this sanity oma had been sadly afllict-
ed, physically, and while her passing
away was considered merely The matter
OF a few months, at most, yet so quietly,
peacefully and Unexpectedly did she go,
that it seemed almost in the twinkling of
an eye, Goods tinger touched her and she
slept" But all who knew her realized
that she will still live on, bright in the
memory of those whose lives she touch
ed, embalmed with love and garlanded
with affection.
Since she came a bride to Tionesta as
the wife of John Wilson Morrow, NJ. D.,
she has been we'll known throughout our
community as a beautiful Christian char.
acter. In this new relation she assumed
not only thu duties of a good, true help
meet, but the responsible position of
mother TO a family of six sons and daugh-
ters of her husband by a former mar
riage. And how nobly and we'll this
work was done, not only her life, but the
lives of those with whom she came in
contact bear testimony. Coming as she
did from a long line CT noble Christian
ancestry, she inherited those excellent
traits which, under the divine touch,
rendered her a useful member of society
wherever she was called to he. She was
a daughter of Philip and Mary Wilson
Uncapher and was born at Salisbury, Pa. q,
August 2, 1885. When two years of age
she removed with her parents to Crooked
Creek, Indiana county, where more than
fifty years were spent, highly honored, as
indeed she was worthy of being. Sept.
s. 1887, she was united in marriage to DR..
Morrow of Tionesta, aud at once took up.
on herself the responsibility of a family
of children, ranging in age from childhood
to young %womanhood, nom of whom
she had ever seen before. 1t was here
her light shone brightest and where her
choicest record was made, although, be-
cause of her abilities she became identi.
fled with work of the church and the best
interests of the community. In early
life she united with the Associate Re-
formed, now United Presbyterian church,
and later a member of the Presbyterian,
where her influence for good was deeply
felt. Always interested in the cause of
missions. she kept In close touch with
work ofthe w. F. NJ. S. as long as she was
able. She was a valued member of the
w. r. G. aud the d. A.. r. Also of the
W. C. II. u, and was an earnest advocate
of all that was "lovely, pure and good"
Since the latter part of February she had
been i'll, and for the past half year her ill
ness was such as TO call forth the sympa-
thy of her many friends, but wheI the
summons came 1t found her ready, wait
