• Notes

  Clark County Clipper June 15, 1944 Mariam Blanche Morrison was born near St. Bernice, Vermillion County, IN November 7, 1887, the daughter of James and Lucy (Crane) Morrison and passed from this life in the Ashland Hospital at 1:15 a.m. on June 6, 1944. It is thought that sometime before her birth her father and uncle, Henry Morrison, had come to Clark County and filed on land. Later they moved their families and Blanche, as she was always known, came with them. As soon as old enough she attended the community schools such as we had in those early days, and as she soon outgrew them she went back to Indiana and completed her education, returning and making her home here until her marriage with Lawrence Foncannon, December 1, 1903. After marriage she and her husband went to Indiana where they lived for some time and then returned to this county where her home has been ever since. She was the mother of 5 children: Mrs. Mary Gohn of Tulare, CA; Mrs. Walter D. Reed, of Bolivar, MO; and 3 sons, John of Wichita; James of Tulare, CA; and Stephen of the home. Since the death of her mother, Blanche has resided on the old home farm as a tenant of her brothers and sisters. For the past 2 or 3 years her health has been impaired and just a few days before her death, an attack caused her to be brought to the hospital where she improved and had the physician's permission to go home last Tuesday. An adverse turn in her condition Monday afternoon proved fatal. [1]
