Mrsi-MtFt Morphew Passes Dur
ing the Night of the 18th.
The passing of Mrs. Julia Bryan
Morphew, wife of Dr. M.,F. Mor
phew, which occurred on March
18th, whilo not unexpected it none
the less cast the entire town into
gloom. Mrs. Morphew had . been
a constant sufferer for the past four
years bearing her Ills with great
fortitude. During the last days of
her illness she' suffered intensely
and death came as a relief. She
feared not in the least tho flight
across tho valley of tho shadow,
but on tho other haod hailed the
opportunity, for hers was a reward
in store. Hers was a death in the
faith, her last words, typifying hfr
Christian lifi were a racssigo to a
friend imparting her willingnw
to go. And thus as tlw wk end
ed and the Sabbath w&i ushered in
her earthy existence c.ivd aud
her spirit winged its onward flight
to heavenly reoose.
Mrs. Julia Bryan Morphew was
born at Btone, Wautauga County,
N. C. December 19, 18G6, being at
ho time of her death 44 years and
3 months old.
She was married to Dr. M. F
Morphew on March 2G, 1895. To
tho union were born four children,
three of whom survive: Miss
Iouiso Morphew, Frank and Ro
bert Morphew.
Mr5. Morphew was long a con
sistent and useful member of the
Methodist Church having become
a member some twenty years ago,
thenceforth doing much for the
furtherance and upbuilding of the
Kingdom. She was a phartcr mem
