Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 27 Aug 1897, p. 5, c. 2
After two months of the most terrible suffering with meningitis, at the Good 
Samaritan hospital in Portland, on August 18, at 3:20 p.m., Miss Mattie Morris 
died. She was a trained nurse by profession, having graduated at the same 
institution where she died, more than a year ago. The death of Mattie seems 
one of those dispensations before which humanity stands in [-?-] submission 
and waits in humble trust until the all wise Creator makes known his purpose. 
Why one so young and so useful in this life is taken from us is past finding 
out. Her warm and generous heart, full of tenderness and sympathy best 
responsive to every meritorious claim upon her time and means–a true friend a 
loving daughter and sister, with unwavering faith in the sufficiency of God’s 
plan of salvation. Language, indeed, is inadequate to picture the desolation 
her death has brought to the hearts of her grief stricken parents, brothers, 
sister and a host of friends. Still we have reason to rejoice that our loss is 
her eternal gain. Her mother was at her bedside at her death and brought the 
remains here for interment. The funeral services here were conducted by Elder 
Eli Fisher, of Medford, pastor of the Church of Christ, of which church Mattie 
was a member. There were many beautiful floral offerings from friends in 
Portland, Medford, Jacksonville, and surrounding country. Mattie was a 
granddaughter of the late Elder Martin and Elizabeth Peterson, well known 
pioneers of this country.
