MARGARET HURLBURT MORROW

Mrs. Margaret Hurlburt Morrow, wife of Federal Judge William W. Morrow, died early yesterday morning of pneumonia in her apartment at the Hotel St. Francis, San Francisco. Mrs. Morrow was born in Maquoketa, Iowa, October 31, 1847. She crossed the plains with her father and mother in 1852. Her father, a Methodist minister reached Placerville, California with his family and founded the first church there in 1852. His itinerary as a preacher took him through the mining regions, Grass Valley, Downieville and other towns. In 1865, in Santa Rosa, where she was attending school, Margaret met and married William Morrow, a young Santa Rosa teacher. She was the seventeen. In the years that followed, with her husband's rising career as a lawyer and jurist, Mrs. Morrow became a leader in civic and social activities in San Francisco and Washington, D. C., while her husband was a member of congress.

Mrs. Morrow is survived by her husband and three children, William H. Morrow of San Francisco, Mrs. Maude Fechteler, widow of the late Admiral Fechteler, U. S. Navy and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of H. L. Roosevelt of Paris, France.

Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock in the Gray and Company chapel. Interment at the Cypress Lawn Cemetery will be private.
