DEATH OF MRS. JOHN G. BRYCE
THE SUMMONS CAME YESTERDAY.
A Bright, Lovely Woman is No More - THe City Grieves for Her - The Funeral Today.
Mrs. Louise Morehead, wife of Mr. John G. Bryce, breathed her last yesterday afternoon at ten minutes to 3 o'clock, at her home on South Church Street.
Seldom has the announcement of any death cast more gloom over this community. "Louse Morehead" dead! It seems impossible for it to be true. Who that knew her in life, so bright, so cheerful, so full of life and hope, so happy in her brief married life, can think of "Louse Morehead" cold and still, unresponsive to the words of love and affection? It was about two months ago that she was taken sick. She had a number of friends to tea one evening in November and the next day took her bed. She was depressed from the first moment of attack, and the idea that she would never again be well seemed to fasten itself upon her mind. Her friends were not uneasy about her until a few weeks ago, when she was first extremely ill. Nothing that was done for her seemed to relieve her. She grew gradually weaker, and about a week ago her condition was pronounced critical. Daily anxious friends called to inquire for her, but little hope was help out. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, news of her death was expected at any time. Col. and Mrs. Morehead, who were in Washington, were telegraphed for and arrived here Friday morning. Mr. John M. Morehead, her brother and Mrs. S. B. Jones, her sister, were already here. With wonderful vitality she clung to life. She was on the border land several times, and as many times it was reported that she had passed beyond, but she would rally. She was bright and cheerful, and kept her loved ones who say by her side, "be cheerful, be cheerful.": She was conscious Sunday night, but after that she was no longer herself. Gradually she grew weaker. There was no struggle, just a little flutter of the heart, a last short breath, and the kind, loving heart of "Louise Morehead" was still.
Louise Morehead was born April 15th, 1862, and was therefore 33 years of ago. She was the second daughter of John L. and Sarah Phifer Morehead. She was educated in Charlotte. During her young ladyhood she traveled extensively, and was one of the brightest women in Charlotte society. She was much admired wherever she went, but her heart had already been given. She married the man of her choice and was "faithful unto death" to her love. Her devotion to her husband was beautiful to behold. She was never happier than when serving him, and their pretty little home on Church Street was as happy a retreat as any young couple could desire. Mrs. Bryce had not been strong since her marriage, but she was always bright and cheerful. She was a woman of fine sense, and strong character in ever sense of the word. She was right, quick, suggestive and responsive, and coupled with these characteristics had a wonderfully fascinating manner. No wonder that she had so many friends, and was so generally beloved. Several years ago Mrs. Bryce connected herself with the First Presbyterian Church, and was a consistent member of the church up to the time of her death. She leaves no children.
The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 4 o'clock from the Second Presbyterian Church. The pall bearers are: Messrs. W. R. Taliaferro, W. W. Phifer, R. H. Jordan, Lucian Walker, E. F. Young, J. A. Solomon, M. P. Pegram, Jr., and Heriot Clarkson.
