PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY.
The Death of
Mrs. J. D. Morgan.
ONE OF THE OLD RESIDENTS.
Mrs. Harriet Morgan, widow of the late Gen. James D. Morgan, died at her home on East Vermont street at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, aged 74 years. She had been in failing health for more than a year, and spent the entire summer at the seashore, with the family of Mr. George Wells.
Her condition had not been considered critical since her return, however, and the end came quickly and peacefully, the good woman sinking into a long, restful sleep.
Mrs. Morgan was a daughter of the late Captain Robert Evans, who came here with his family from Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1836, and she was, therefore, one of the pioneer residents of Quincy. The late Mrs. Edward Wells was her only sister.
She was married to General Morgan in 1859.
One by one the early pioneers are being called away, and they are sadly missed by their friends of more than half a century, and by the younger people, as well. Mrs. Morgan was a woman of broad charity, whose long life had been devoted to good works. Her death will be sincerely mourned.
The funeral announcement will be published later.
