Mrs. Agnes Cooper Morlan
Mrs. Agnes Cooper Morlan, wife of C.W. Morlan of Doland, South Dakota was born in Westmoreland County, England, on December 8th, 1850. She passed away at her home in Doland, on March 28th, 1927, aged seventy-six years, three months and twenty days.
She was one of eight children, six girls, and two boys, who were born to Thomas and Elizabeth Cooper. Her parents moved to America in 1854 when Agnes was four years of age. Their first residence in this vicinity was at Massillon, Ohio. The purchase of a farm by Mr. Cooper, near Lanaville, Ohio, was followed by the removal of the family to that place. Here Mrs. Morlan grew to young womanhood. She attended and was graduated from the district school in this vicinity. And at Lanaville, on November 15th, 1870, she was united in marriage with Cornelius W. Morlan. Of the four children born of this happy union, two survive the mother, Mrs. Alice Schoof and Mrs. Fanny Kruger.
The first twelve years of their married life, Mr. and Mrs. Morlan spent in Ohio and in Indiana. Coming to South Dakota in the spring of 1882, they were among the first settlers in this part of the State. The homestead on which Mr. Morlan filed is four miles northwest of Doland. Their home was made here until December 1892 when Mr. Morlan came into Doland to enter business. The following spring Mr. and Mrs. Morlan took up their residence in this place. For thirty-four years their home has been made in Doland.
Mrs. Morlan's character revealed the attributes which we associate with the highest type of American womanhood, and which, to such a great extent, have been revealed in the womanhood of these Western prairies. Courageous and loyal, she eagerly accompanied her husband to the Western homestead when conditions were the most primitive and trying, not counting the severance of the intimate ties which bound her to loved ones, and friends, and to a community of culture, too great a sacrifice to make. One can little wonder at the developments that have attended the settling of this country when one notes the courage and devotion with which noble women, like Mrs. Morlan, accepted the hardships and trial which the new venture imposed. Patience and thrift. These qualities also stand revealed in the womanhood of which our deceased friend was such a worthy representative. If the conquest of the soil in the face of drought, and other adverse physical conditions, and the struggle with varying and frequently unpredictable markets, imposed upon the early settler a severe test of patience and thrift, the conditions, which, at the same time, the mistress of his homestead had to meet laid an equally severe demand for patience and economy upon her. In such testing Mrs. Morlan did not fail. And, and in patience she possessed and disciplined her own soul, and, in patience, also, she reared and trained her family. Her married life of fifty-six years is a story of unbroken affections for and devotion to her home. She was a woman of faith. She had faith in, and good-will toward, her neighbors, expressed in countless kindly deeds. She had the faith which we call religious, expressed in a life of devotion towards God. Received into the membership of the Methodist church in young girlhood, she gave full evidence of possessing the faith of a true Christian.
It is very wonderful and revealing tribute which this community paid to the memory of Mrs. Morlan Wednesday. For, due to her semi-invalid condition, she has lived in partial retirement for a number of years, and for the past year has been confined almost wholly to her home; and yet the community about her paid her a tribute Wednesday which is never offered except in the case of those who have lived most worthily.
Besides her husband, Cornelius W. Morlan, her two daughters, Mrs. C.J. Schoof of this city, and Mrs. Henry Kruger of Spencer, South Dakota, Mrs. Morlan leaves three grandchildren... Mrs. C.A. Williams of Doland, J.E. Schoof of Agar, South Dakota, and Morlan Kruger of Spencer, So. Dak., and five great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the home of C.W. Morlan on Wednesday afternoon, March 30th, 1927, Rev. Albert Hartt of the Methodist church, officiating. Interment was made in the Doland Cemetery.
