Dies Yesterday
Mrs. E. Janie Mor«mn 73, widow
of D. I. Morgan who died 11 years
ago, died at her home near Plum
Branch early yesterdav morning,
following a short illness.
Mrs. Morgan was one of the most
widely loved women in this section,
having always lived for others. In
her quiet, unassuming manner her
busy life was given without com
plaint to those she loved. There
v/as no toil too hard, no cares too
cumbersome, no service too con
fining. no love too rrrpnt to be be
stowed upon family and friends.
As a Christian, she was supreme,
simple in faith, guileless in life, pa
tient in suffering and mighty in
hope.
Mrs. Morgan is survived by one
daughter, Miss Annie Lou Morgan
of Plum Branch; three sons, E. M.
