Prof. Robert Morrison first taught a large girls' school in Fredericksburg, Va., and afterwards a girls' school in Richmond, Va .. Then he acecpted a professorship at William and Mary College to teach History and Moral Philosophy. He died in Williamsburg, October 31, 1861. He was an ardent Southerner; he was much interested in getting donations for the rebuilding of William and Mary College after it was burned.
I give the following obituary of Prof. Morrison, taken from a leading daily, and tribute of respect written by a "Daughter of the Institute":

SOME PROMINENT
THE LATE PROFESSOR MORRISON.
The remains of the late Robert J. Morrison passed through this city on Saturday afternoon, in charge of the afflicted parent and other relatives and friends of the deceased, en route for interment in Lawrenceville. Professor Morrison died at Yorktown of typhoid fever, in the 37th year of his age, in the midst of the important duties incident to his office of Captain of Ordnance, which for some time past he has been discharging with signal ability and satisfaction.
In the last three years he has filled two chairs in William and Mary College; first, the Chair of History, and subsequently that of Moral Philosophy and Belles-Lettres, in both of which he exhibited attainments of rare proficiency. The venerable college is greatly indebted to his friendly interest and unceasing exertions in its behalf, for the revival of its falling fortunes since its destruction by fire. More than aught else that can be said of him, he was a pure Christian; his humble walk in life, his earnest zeal for the success of all Christian enterprise, his gentle character, all the labors of his brief but useful life, spcak the simple glory of a man of God.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Another of the great and good men of the earth has fallen. Another of the numberless secking sacrifices, laid on the altar of Freedom's God, has been rendered up, amid the anguish and tears of the heart-broken throng around.
In the death of Prof. Morrison, William and Mary College, Virginia, to repeat a commonplace phrase (but nevertheless a true one), has lost one of the best and bravest of her noble sons-one who was true and devoted to the great cause of Southern independence, and who, long before the events which have since reached their crisis between the two great sections of country, assisted with his whole mental and physical resources Virginia and her sisters to maintain their independence of the North. He, with his far-reaching eye, saw the impending storm which ere long burst upon our heads, and, with the assistance of his loved and able coadjutor, established the Southern Female Institute, and at this day the South would be far less able to cope with the North in educational ability had it not been for their united efforts in the cause of female education. And we do think every female in our fair Southern land should be sincerely grateful for the immense benefits derived from this valuable institution, but more especially should those bow their heads and hearts in humble tribute who were the recipients of his fostering care. They are many, and are spread over a wide extent of country; but wherever the intelligence of his death reaches one of his wide-scattered pupils the shock will come as a death-knell, and each in turn will exclaim: "I have lost a friend, a father!" How often some kind word, dictated by his kinder heart, as the wearied instructor would scek to make the daily task plain to his pupils, will be recalled. Those are the truest friends of youth, those kind instruc- tors, who strive to make the rugged road to knowledge pleasant to the
537
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
youthful mind; but, unfortunately, 'tis only when "grim-visaged death" has removed, as in the present instance, one who was so truly loved, that we are brought to a sense of the debt we owe.
Professor Morrison was a noble specimen of a Virginia gentleman. His devotion to the interests of his native State, high sense of honor, his frank and cordial manner, now so seldom scen, which was totally unlike the French and Burr school of mannerisms in one particular, it had all the sincerity of heart which in the latter was wanting, and wanted nothing of its polish.
. As a Christian, no better or brighter example could be held up to the youthful pilgrim; for every action of his life was directed by a pure and consistent Christian spirit. No one more truly carried out the commands of the gospel in regard to the duty of each man to his neighbor in all the relations of life. And not only has the department of letters lost a brilliant ornament, the educational department an efficient and valuable instructor, but the Christian church has lost one of the brightest jewels of its crown. And though, of course, as all earth born children we mourn our departed friend, we have still consolation in sincerely believing the Saviour has caught that jewel in falling, and transferred it to his celestial wreath of immortal glory.
Death-the stern, the grim and silent warrior, Has once more stolen into the dwellings Of the children of men. He wrestled, aye, Fearfully, with his victim, and was victorious.
The warrior who, at his country's call, Had left his home-his loved ones-all- Unmindful of the war god's fiery breath, Now, alas! is laid in the embrace of death.
"Twas a noble man-that soldier, bold- And all too soon was the summons told; For age had not dimmed his kindly eye, Or silvered his hair ere called to die.
And, O pitying Father! may we be forgiven, Although our loved friend be now in heaven, If this murmuring, sinful heart of ours Will mourn, and, plucking thorns, leave the flowers. -A DAUGHTER OF THE INSTITUTE.

The following is copied from the Baltimore Sun :
MRS. ELIZABETH W. H. GORDON.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wills Harrison Gordon died Friday evening at her resi- dence, 1313 Park Avenue, in the eighty-second year of her age. She was the eldest child of Randolph Harrison, of Elk Hill, Goochland County, Va., and his wife, Heningham Wills, of Kentucky. Born in Richmond, she spent the greater part of her unmarried life at the estate of her father on the Upper James River, where she contributed greatly to the attractions of the renowned hospitality of the elegant home. To a striking personal beauty were added the grace of a thorough education, comprising a rare skill in music and an unusual proficiency in foreign languages, with a singular charm of conversation.
She married Alexander B. Gordon, and they resided on Mount Vernon Place in Baltimore until shortly before the war, when they moved to Fredericksburg, Va., where they lived at "Kenmore," then the residence of her mother, which had formerly been the home of Mr. Gordon's father. Here, with her infant children, she experienced to an unusual degree thic sharpest trials of the war in the bombardment and other dangers that befcll the city.
Left a widow at the close of the war, she returned with her children to Baltimore, and here she quictly passed the remainder of her life.
To her other charms were added in a marked degree the crowning graces of a holy and religious life, spent, so far as her circumstances and health permitted, in acts of charity. She had enjoyed the rare good fortune of being the intimate friend of many important members of the clergy, who had been her pastors and afterwards became bishops of the church; among them the two Bishops Wilmer, pastors at the parish church of Goochland and Bishops Atkinson, Cox, Randolph, Peterkin, and Gallagher, who were in turn pastors of the churches of which she was a member in Baltimore.
The following is the will of Mrs. E. W. H. Gordon, and was published in the Baltimore Sun:
Mrs. Elizabeth W. H. Gordon, by her will filed for probate in the · Orphans' Court yesterday, gives to her daughter, Margaret Gordon, the dwelling 1313 Park Avenue, with all its contents except such as are specifically bequeathed. Mrs. Gordon's real estate in Richmond, Va., con- sisting of an undivided one-half interest in the Shockoe warehouse property and its fixtures, is bequeathed in trust to her son, Heningham Gordon. After the payment of Mrs. Gordon's debts and other expenses the net income
539
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
from her share of the property is to be divided into four equal parts, one of which is to be paid to each of her four children, Randolph H. Gordon, Margaret Gordon, Emily C. McLean, and Heningham Gordon. The trustee is authorized in his discretion, upon the written request of any two of the children of the testatrix, to sell her interest in the property and reinvest the proceeds. The trust is to cease as to each of the beneficiaries upon his or her death.
The will also bequeaths $4,300.00 to Margaret Gordon, daughter of the testatrix, in payment of borrowed money, and to come out of the proceeds of sale of the interest of the testatrix in the Richmond property.
The silver and plated ware of the testatrix and other personal property named are to be distributed in accordance with a memordandum left by her.
Randolph H. and Heningham Gordon, sons of the testatrix, are named as executors without bond. The will was executed March 24, 1891.

Kenmore was built by Lawrenee Lewis, as a bridal present, when he married Miss Bettie Washington. Some of the decorations were done by British prisoners there during the Revolution. Some of the designs were planned by Gen'l George Washington, President.

At 11:30 o'clock Saturday morning, February 25, in St. John's Church, Washington, Rev. Roland Colton Smith, rector, the burial service was read over the remains of Mrs. Hagner, wife of Judge Alexander B. Hagner, retired, and warden of St. John's, the rector, Dr. Smith, Bishop Satterlee and Dr. McKim, of Epiphany Church, and cousin of Mrs. Hagner, officiat- ing. The pall-bearers were eminent men in the church and army. Mrs. Hagner was Louisa Harrison, daughter of Randolph Harrison, of "Elk Hill," Goochland County, Va., one of the noted centers of hospitality and wealth in that county, noted for its refinement and culture, where she was born seventy-five years ago, and lived until her marriage, in early life, to the young lawyer of Annapolis, Md., who afterwards became a Justice of the District of Columbia Supreme Court, from which active duties he retired a few years ago. Mrs. Hagner was an active and earnest member of St. John's Church until ill health compelled her withdrawal, and finally confined her to her home and bed where, for several years, she was a helpless invalid awaiting the release and end of the faithful.
Mrs. Louisa Hagner's will was sent as a special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun:
WASHINGTON, March 25 .- The will of Mrs. Louisa Hagner, wife of Judge Alexander B. Hagner, retired, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, dated April 25, 1895, was filed to-day for probate and record.
By its terms the entire estate is left to Judge Hagner during his life. After his death the surviving executors are to sell the undivided one-half interest of the testatrix in a warehouse property in Richmond, Va. The net proceeds, after paying a legacy to St. Paul's Church, Goochland County, Va., shall be divided into three equal parts, one to be paid to her sister, Elizabeth W. H. Gordon, of Baltimore, if alive, and at her death to her sister's children; another part to be invested and its income paid to Randolph Harrison, of Williamsburg, Va., brother of the testatrix, during his life, and at his death to be paid, both principal and interest, to this brother's children; the third part is to be paid in equal shares to the surviving sons and daughters of Julien Harrison, another brother.
From the proceeds of the sale of the Richmond warehouse property the exeuctors are to pay to the Bishop of the Diocese of Virginia $2,000.00, to be expended for the permanent benefit of St. Paul's Church, Goochland County, Va. Judge Hagner, H. Gordon, a nephew, and Randolph Hagner, a nephew of Judge Hagner, are constituted executors of the will.
Personal property-china, silverware, jewelry, musical instruments, etc., ctc .- is to be disposed of to various persons in accordance with a memo- randum filed as an exhibit. The rest of the estate is left to Margaret Gordon, Emily G. McLean, Fanny C. Hill, and Virginia C. Addison, nieces of the testatrix.
