Jean Morris was born in Pennington,

h was an Interested member OF
the Shakespeare club, and was aEiili-
ated with the Congregational church,
only a week or SO ago she yolun-
teered her services for the "..verv
member canvass"
Her sudden death Monday evening
has thrown a pail over this commnn-
ity; all are affected, rich ami poor,
high and low, old and young alike.
Her kindness of heart reached them
fall. Her whole life was one of beau
tiful ministrations to others, though
ever keeping her right hand from
knowing what her left did. She free
ly rave roses to the living" What
ever she had she shared freely with
others. Many and many a bit of
cheer found it's way haDitually into
humble lives. Her friends were never
neglected or forgotten. Upon the
children Of her friends she lavished
a wealth Of affection and gifts that
followed them as they went out into
the world. AS some n remarked,
who is there she hasn't been good
to-" Even the children weep today
because their friend is gone. She is
the first to go Of a little coterie of
intimate friends linked together by
kindred and opposite tastes. OF an
artistic nature, she loved beautiful
things. Her life, her home, her yard,
bore evidence of this. She loved the
great outdoors, and spent hours with
nature. Hunting was a pastime. She
independent in thought and
speech, strong in her likes and dis
likes, loyal to friendship. OF a daunt-
less spirit, she was brave and un-
complaining. Her intimate friends
hardly suspected that her frail life
was Sc fast ebbing awy. The last
few months of her life were spent
with the deal father and mother and
sisters and brothers, doubtless
planned with her usual thoughtful
ness. Even the last day or two Of
life with waning strength, her feet
and hands carried good things around
the neighborhood. And when the
end came, with her husband, sister
and friends about her, she closed her
o~,oc L., cIaor orI how. hoo,,ffF,,I cO;r;<
took it's fight. Though hearts are
those who knew her. The sympathy
Of the community is given t o the hus-
band who is left alone, and to the
relatives and friends who mourn for
her.
