She and her husband had been making their home with their daughter Belle, for some time, and Mrs. Morris was taken seriously ill with asthma at the home of a friend, Mrs. Whittiear of Des Moines. Her suffering was intense, but her illness was of a short duration. All that loving hands and medical aid could do, was done, but to no avail. her master called her home.

Funeral services were held at the Christian church in Corydon, Iowa, on Thursday afternoon, February 12th, conducted by J. Newton Sours. Burial was made in the Shriver cemetery at Harvard.
