Columbus City, Sept 14- The angel of death has again stretched forth its hand and plucked from our midst another of our oldest and highly respected citizens in the person of Mrs. David Morgan at the ripe age of seventy-one years. She had been ailing for some time and on Thursday last she suffered a relapse and at 11 p. m. Her spirit answered to the Master's call. As wife and mother she was devoted, faithful, tender loving. She leaves an invalid husband and seven children to cherish and revere her memory.
