Obituary
Name
Nancy A Troutman (nee Cox, Morrison) Obituary and Family Listing They had 7 children: Peter, John Logan, Elmer, Charles S., Roy N., Jacob Howard, Asa Burton, Bertie A. After his death she married Charles E. Morrison, son of Joel and Mary Ann Morrison, on January 29, 1889 in Macon County, Illinois. BURIAL OF MRS. MORRISON // Funeral Services Held Thursday at the Sharon Church The remains of Mrs. Nancy A. Morrison, who died at her home in Woolstock, Ia., last Sunday, Feb. 23, were interred at Wyckles cemetery yesterday. The funeral services were held at Sharon church and were conducted by Rev. H. C. Gibbs, pastor of the First M. E. Church. The music was by a quartet, consisting of Miss Lida Sawyer, Miss Bessie Sawyer, Mr. Benjamin Park and Mr. Jesse Whittmer. The services were impressive and a very large congregation of old friends and neighbors were present. The floral offerings were very beautiful and numerous. Mrs. Morrison was born and raised in the neighborhood where her remains now repose. She was born Aug. 13, 1850, the daughter of the late Samuel Cox and was married to Joseph W. Troutman March 1, 1866. To them were born seven children, two of whom, a son and daughter, died in fancy. The children who survive her are: Elmer, Charles S., Roy N., Howard and Bertie A., all of whom reside in Macon county. The husband Joseph W. Troutman, died in 1884 near Wyckles, where the family resided. In 1889 Mrs. Troutman married Charles E. Morrison, who at the time was also a resident of this county. In March 1899, Mrs. Morrison and her husband left Macon county and took up their residence in Woolstock, Ia., where they made many friend Both were prominent in church work and in Odd Fellowship in their new home. Mrs. Morrison died suddenly. She had retired for the night and shortly after rising to a sitting posture in the bed she said to her husband she had a sensation of smothering. He arose at once to get her some water, when she said "Good bye, I am going this time," and was dead. As soon as her death was announced the local lodge of the Rebekah degree, of which she was a member, at once took charge of the body, and with the Odd Fellows, cared for it until it was removed. Charles S. Troutman who resides a few miles west of this city, as soon as he heard of his mother's death, at once went to Woolstock and brought the body home to be buried where her children live. Mr. Troutman speaks in the highest praise of the respect shown his mother by the people of Woolstock. He says that on the day of the services there over the body the banks and stores were closed and the people of the town with the Odd Fellows, turned out to pay their last tribute of respects to his dead mother. The kindness of the people, he says, could not have been excelled and he shall always remember them kindly for their beautiful conduct.
