- After an illness of seven months, Mrs. Adaline MOREHOUSE
died at 12:30 a.m.
- Saturday, October 16, 1926, at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. F. H. GUENTHER, in the 96th year of her age.
- Mrs. MOREHOUSE was born November 7, 1830 at Genesse
County, New York,
- and during her childhood the family were among the early
settlers to follow the trail of the covered wagon in the western
emigration. At Limo, Indiana, with brothers and sisters, she
grew to young womanhood and her marriage to Rev. C. H. MOREHOUSE
took place. In the years of her husband's ministry she had lived
in different places always leaving lasting influences of a sweet
helpful Christian character. With their four children Dr. and
Mrs. MOREHOUSE finally settled at Evansville, Wisconsin,
where she remained until the death of her husband when Mrs. MOREHOUSE
returned to her native state and made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. E. D. HOLMES. Eight years ago she came to Sarasota
and has been a loved and loving member of the home of her daughter,
Mrs. GUENTHER.
- Losing her eyesight ten years ago did not lessen her interest
in her friends or the
- activities in which they were engaged. A fall four years
ago left her unable to take a step without assistance but in
all she was a most patient sufferer and neither infirmities or
age had robbed her of a fine mind, a gracious personality or
a memory that had retained much of a long life of varied interest.
Her birthdays were always occasions for friends to gather at
the home of Mrs. GUENTHER and the dear mother was most
lovingly remembered.
- Since March she had been confined to her bed and while often
it seemed the Silent
- Messenger must be near so wonderfully would she rally that
it was not known except to the family that the end must be near
and it was just after midnight when sleeping quietly the "weary
wheels of life at last stood still."
- Services will be held at the home, after the arrival of Mr.
C. H. MOREHOUSE from
- New York some time Monday. Accompanied by her brother, Mrs.
GUENTHER will take the body of her mother to Evansville,
Wis., where they will be joined by grandchildren and other relatives
and burial will be at the family cemetery where her husband,
her daughter, Mrs. HOLMES, and her eldest son are buried.
