Elfiea married Clarence J Chupp who was my great uncle (my grandmother's brother). We have tons of information about the Chupp side of the family but very little about the Morse's. All of his information was lost in a family fire. We are a little confused by a couple of things that we have learned about the Morse family. It appears that Elfiea's father Lester Charles also went by the name Charles Lester Morse. He is listed in the 1900 census living with his father Frank, a brother Elmer and a sister Laura. They were living with a woman named Louisa or Lovina Parker who is listed in the census as Frank's mother even though she is only about 14 years older than Frank. Frank is listed in that census as a widower. Any clues to this mystery? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
