The death of Mrs. Lavinra-Morris.at her home in South Ninth street, yesterday afternoon, removed one of the pioneers of this city and a forceful and interesting personality. Mrs. Morris had lived in her home in this part of Richmond, for fifty years, having been a widow for fifty-one years, her husband having died in 1853. Her parents came from North Carolina and settled near Chester, almost all of Mrs. Morris's life having been passed in Wayne county. Mrs. Morris was an "old time" Friend wearing the garb of that Society up to the time of her death and was a picturesque figure in this quaint form of costume, and a rigid adherent to the principles of that religious body. She was a woman of pronounced individuality, and in her earlier life an active participant in many reform movements, her work among the negroes of the south during and immediately after the civil war, being notable, her excellent judgment, and sound opinions on various important questions carried much weight during that period. Up to the time of her death Mrs. .Morris retained her strong mental calibre, reading all the current publications and many of the late books and discussing public matters in an unusually sane and interesting way, her remarkable mentality for one of her years, which amounted to nearly ninety, being wonderful. Mrs. Ruth Morris Kersey, of Chicago, and Mr. Elwood Morris, of this city, are her surviving childen. T Gardner and . Jeffrods at Silverbow Athletic Coliseum. (Special to the Palladium.) - Butte.
