Julia Ann (LeMaster) Morris
Death of Mrs. MORRIS
Juliann LEMASTER MORRIS was born in Mononaghela county, Va., now West Virginia on Jan. 18, 1818 and died in Barnesville, Ohio Jan. 13, 1896.
With her parents she came to Ohio in 1832, and for two years lived on Will's creek. They came to the vicinity of Barnesville where the greater part of her life was spent. In 1834 she united with the M.E. Church at Bethel, in which society she held her membership for about 49 years.
On the 21st of January, 1836 she was united in marriage to Mordecai MORRIS, who yet survives at the advanced age of 82 years. Had she lived eight days longer she would have reached the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage.
She was the mother of fourteen children, seven of whom are still living, and all reside in Barnesville. Sister MORRIS was an exemplary christian, attending faithfully to all her religious duties, especially was she attentive to the means of grace. She was prostrated some weeks ago and at times her sufferings were intense but borne with great patience. To those who conversed with her concerning the foundations of her hope, she gave assurance clear and strong that her faith was firm and her hope was bright. To her aged companion, who asked her what would become of him should she not again get up, she said, "Be satisfied as I am satisfied and all will be right." A few days before her death she talked tenderly and lovingly to her children and grandchildren, assuring them of her gratitude to them for their unfailing kindness to her both in her health and in her sickness. The family have the sincere sympathy of all their friends. The funeral services will take place at the family residence today at 1 p.m., her pastor, Rev. J.R. Keyes, conducting the services.
