HomeAfrican-AmericanMORROW, Ella Hill (d. 1907)

Columbia Notes — A very sad death was that of Mrs. Ella Hill MORROW, which occurred at the residence of her father, Mr. Rutledge HILL, January 2.  A large number of friends and relatives attended the funeral at Salem Presbyterian Church, of which she was a consistent member.  Services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mr. MACKLIN, assisted by Revs. Mr. C. NORMAN and T.W. HAMPTON, of the A.M.E. Church.  Rev. P.E. GREGGS eulogized her life beautifully as a teacher.

She taught in Maury and adjoining counties.  Mrs. MORROW was a woman of splendid traits of character; admired and loved by all who knew her, and that was tested by the long line of carriages that followed her remains to beautiful Salem Cemetery, eight miles from here, where flowers were spread over her last resting place.

[additional note]

Mr. Ed HILL, of New York, who was at the bedside of his sister, Mrs. MORROW, when she died, will return in a few weeks.
