Obituary for Mary Ann Morrow, Gonzales Inquirer, Gonzales, Texas, Sep. 27, 1900

"DIED - on Saturday, Sept. 22, 1900, at the residence of Mr. J. E. Withers, at Karney, Texas, at 5 o'clock p.m., Mrs. Mary Pouncey, aged 70 years, 4 months and a day.

"Mrs. Pouncey had been in bad health for the past two years, and was quite feeble, but a fall which she sustained several weeks since was the immediate cause of her death.

"The internment took place at Floyd's Chapel Sunday afternoon.

"Mrs. Pouncey was one of the earlier settles of Gonzales County, arriving in this city on Christmas Eve, 1850, from her former home in Mississippi. On November 27, 1851, she was married to Mr. A. W. Pouncey, whose death occurred on Nov. 2, 1897.

"She leaves six children, four sons and two daughters, and many friends throughout this section will sympathize with them in this bereavement."

Mary Ann Morrow may be related to a man named William J. Morrow. His name appears in district court records in Gonzales County, Texas, as published in the Gonzales Inquirer, page 2, Oct. 22, 1853. The exact relationship of William J. Morrow to Mary Ann Morrow is not yet known.
