Mrs. Walter Morris
The death occurred in Saint John hospital on Tuesday afternoon, of Mrs. Maria Morris, who passed away a few months ago. The deceased, who had been enjoying fairly good health, was taken ill a fortnight ago. As she continued to grow worse, an operation was decided upon. Last Wednesday, in company with Dr. Thomas Walker and her daughter, Miss Lillian Morris, who is a professional nurse, she was taken to the general hospital, St. John, where an operation was performed. She seemed to improve for a day or two after the operation, but on Monday her condition grew critical and on Tuesday afternoon death intervened and her sufferings came to an end. The deceased was 78 years old. She was the daughter of the late David Jack, who was prominent in the life of St. Andrews for many years. The late William and Henry Jack, of St. John, and the late Edward jack, of Fredericton, were brothers. Another brother, R. Melville Jack, C.E., resides in Sydney. He is the only surviving member of the Jack family. Mrs. Morris is survived by two daughters, Misses Lillian and May Morris. Bereft of both parents within a few months, very general sympathy is expressed for them. The body will arrive here on today's train and interment will take place therefrom. The church service will be held in St. John.
