DEATH OF MRS. SAMUEL MORRIS. Another, and one of the last, of the venerable monuments of Tralee in the olden time has passed into eternity, in the person of Mrs. Sarah Morris, relict of the late SAMUEL MORRIS, Esq., formerly of Ballybeggan Castle, in this county.
Placed in early life at the head of an establishment characterized by unbounded and hereditary hospitality, the virtue of that period, it was this lady's fortunes at a later period of her life to have experienced reverses in the loss of property, which she sustained with a dignified equanimity, to which the consciousness that the noble estate over which Mr. Morris once presided had been ungrudgingly and promptly transferred to his creditors, a result redounding as it did to his honour, but which might have been neutralized had she availed herself of her legal rights under settlement. Her husband's honour and her own were, however, paramount with her.
Mrs. Morris was in her eighty-first year, and up to the moment of her death retained the friendship and personal respect of all who knew her. Best of all, she died full of the consolations of religion.
