----------
Another of Famous Morristown Or-
ganization Passes Away.
----------
The Old Missouri Harmony Singers is a fast disappearing band of musicians that formerly lived in the neighborhood of Morristown and met in a log school house there nad[sic] later in the church. The last meeting of the Missouri Harmony Singers was held May 27, 1906, in the church at Morristown and at that time, owing to the ages of the members, each of the eleven surviving members being over eighty years of age, it was decided to abandon the mettings in the future. The other member of the famous organization who died since the last meeting was Mrs. Cynthia Morrison, of Greenfield, who was a sister of Mrs. Woodyard.
Mrs. Woodyard leaves a husband and one sister, Mrs. Thomas Cotton, of Manilla. Two children are dead as are the greater number of other near relatives. Five cousins, all over eighty years of age, survive the deceased. She was one of Hanover township's most highly respected women, and was in her youth one of the most influential personages in that part of the county.
