Surnames: Morse, Matthews, McCormick, Henderson, Turney, Cathcart Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UN2.2ACIB/1231 Message Board Post: The following newspaper obituary was found pasted into my great great grandmother's bible. Alice Morse is not a relative and I have no further information. ALICE MORSE At 6 p.m. on Monday evening, May 21, 1900, at the family residence, in Snohomish, Wash., Mrs. Alice Morse, wife of Eldridge Morse of this city, passed to her final rest. Pneumonia, heart failure and hemorrhage of the lungs ended her sufferings after but three days of sickness. The many marked characteristics of Mrs. Morse made her exceedingly well known in this community. She was born at Winona, Minn., Feb. 22, 1858. Her maiden name was Alice Matthews. Her mother was a relative of McCormick, the inventor of the McCormick reaper. In early life Mrs. Morse lived in her father's family in several states. At Sacramento, Cal., she learned the glove makers' trade and all about hotel work. When nineteen years of age she married Mr. Hiram Henderson, superintendent of the street railway of Sacramento, who died of quick consumption, less than one year after her marriage. She then successfully ran a boarding house there, until her second marriage to William Turney. They lived at Sacramento until 1883 when they moved to Puget Sound. On locating at Snohomish they opened a glove factory. Afterwards they accepted employment in the Snohomish Exchange Hotel, then very efficiently run by Isaac Cathcart. While thus employed Mr. Turney died very suddenly of appoplexy. On June 10, 1885, she married Eldridge Morse, the well-known pioneer lawyer and journalist, of Snohomish County. The fruits of this marriage are five surviving children: Belle, John, Arthur, Harley B., and Roland Irving Morse. During several years of trials and struggles Mrs. Morse developed peculiar clairvoyant faculties. Thus, year by year, her dreams would with the greatest accuracy foretell what was to happen. During the past three years she has repeatedly dreamed that she was very nicely dressed and prepared to go to the Congregational church. She had this dream for the last time only a few days ago. It was fulfilled, but so differently from her anticipations. Very fitting, simple but impressive, exercises were conducted by Rev. Winchester, at the Congregational Church, in this place. The funeral took place at 2 p.m., May 23, 1900. The body was laid to rest beside the grave of Mr. Morse's first wife, Martha A., in the family burial ground, in the old cemetery. Leander W. Matthews and Arthur Matthews, well known residents of this county, living near the Marysville road, some seven miles north-west of here are brothers of deceased. Alice Matthews the popular and efficient teacher of the public school there is her neice and namesake.

Other hobbies included oil painting, crocheting, sewing, working on her computer, and designing and weaving baskets. Cleo also took many college classes through the Carbon County Higher Education program. She also loved all types of music and often attended concerts with her friends and family. Cleo is survived by her children, daughter Kaye Simenson (Scot) of Fargo, N.D., son William "Tuffy/Bill" (Melody) of Cheyenne and daughter Rebecca "Beccy" (John) Kruse of Casper; eight grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; sister Ann (Louis) Chase of West Fargo, N.D.; numerous nieces and nephews; and former husband Howard "Lu" Morse of Rawlins.

Surnames: Morse, Dingee, Haughtalin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UN2.2ACIB/1208.1.1 Message Board Post: I'm sorry to take so long answering you. I am researching a Preston W. Morse. I'm doing this for a friend at my church and I've found out very little about Preston. I don't even know if Wing is what the W stands for. Preston was my friend's grandfather. He was born approx. 1859 in Beacon, NY. He and his parents later lived in LaGrange NY. His father was Joseph Jason and Margaret M. Morse.. He had a sister named Susan E. who was born around 1874. Could that be your grandmother? He had several other brothers and sisters. He married Mary Anne Dingee. I think Preston died around 1931 or 32. One of the big reason's of this research is that my friend would like to know where Mary Anne is buried. She also said that Preston and Mary Anne were separated or divorced. She is afraid that Mary Anne is in a pauper's grave somewhere. My friend is 90 yrs old. I think it's sweet that she is worried about her grandmother. I would appreciate anything you can tell me about the Morse family or also the Haughtaling's or the Dingee family. By the way, I'm not a professional genealogist. Thank you, Billie
