Lake County Bee, December 27, 1923

MRS. F. L. MORRISON PASSES AWAY AT GIRLHOOD HOME 
Lake County Bee, December 27, 1923
A resident of Lake county for the past sixty-six years, Mrs. Fannie Lucinda 
Morrison, widow of the late Samuel Morrison who died in 1903, passed away Monday 
at the Fred Morrison ranch on the east shores of Clear Lake, her former home for 
many years during her younger life. She had been ill for the past few months and 
her death was due to her feeble age, having passed her 70th birthday. 
Mrs. Morrison was born in Troy, New York, June 7th, 1844. With her sister and 
brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Mat Johnson, she crossed the plains when 13 years 
old. The family settled in Lake county in the vicinity of Upper Lake. In 1861 
she married Samuel L. Morrison and with her husband, made her home across the 
lake on the well known Morrison ranch until the former’s death. She then moved 
to Middle Creek where she has made her home until her recent illness. 
Mrs. Morrison is survived by two sons, George and Fred of Upper Lake and one 
daughter, Mrs. Mary Henry, also of Upper Lake. Three other sons, John, William, 
Andrew and a daughter Elsie, died some years ago. She was the sister of Mrs. 
Rachael Henderson of Kelseyville and the late Mrs. Mat Johnson of Upper Lake. 
Besides her own children, she raised her granddaughter, Mrs. Elsie Graham Gordon 
since she was three weeks old. The latter made her home with Mrs. Morrison at 
Middle Creek. 
The aged resident was a member of the Methodist church. She made many friends 
during her three-score of years in the county and was always held in the highest 
esteem. 
The funeral services will be held from the home at Middle Creek, this afternoon, 
Thursday, at 2 o’clock. Rev. W. O. S. Cliffe of the Christian church of Lakeport 
will officiate. Interment will be at the Upper Lake cemetery.
