Mrs. Frank Morris.

Olive Ware was born at Bonaparte, March 15, 1853, and died in Sioux City, Iowa, November 27, 1906, being at the time of her death, 53 years, 8 months and 12 days of age.

October 30, 1873, she was married to Mr. Frank Morris and to this union 5 children were born; - Charley of Athol, Wyoming, Tom of Selma, Iowa, Harry, Clarence adn Maggie of Nebraska.

All of them are living and today with the husband mourn the losss of a loving mother and wife.

The deceased also leaves two brothers and one sister. Mrs. Morris grew to womanhood and spent the greater portion of her married life in this vicinity, where she was univerally respected and esteemed for her sterling qualities.

Three years ago the family removed to Nebraska where they have since made their home. A few months ago friends back here heard with much sorrow, that Mrs. Morris' health was failing. Since then she gradually grew worse, until last Tuesday night, the end came, peacefully and quietly at the hospital in Sioux City, whither she had been taken for treatment. Her remains were brought back to Bonaparte for interment, as was her request when first taken ill.

The deceased was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
