Death OF w. IL Morse

Last Sunday morning Mr.. W. II .
Morse, for many years prominent
resident of Dubuque, died in this city.
Mr.. Morse had but recently come to
Lancaster with his wife, intending to
make this his home for sometime at
least, as he had taken run as express
messenger between this point and Mil
waukee. He had been with us so little
time that few had met him but
those who had, feel sincere regret that
they shall see him no more; and in the
hearts Of all there is unfeigned SYM
pathy for the wife, the son, and the
daughter, in this sudden sorrow. Strick-
en- down severely with pneumonia,
there was from the first little chance OF
recovery, though the uncertain fluctua-
tions of the disease raised from time to
time vain hopes, fed by anxious love.
His wlfe alone was with him through
his illness His daughter Helen, who
was in Dakota, was te!egraphed fol
several days before his death, but
through various delays was prevented
from reaching Lancaster until Monday
noon. The son who was in Iowa, also
delayed, reached here Tuesday, the day
on which his father was buried Since
Mr.. and Mrs. Morse have been in Ian.
caster they have boarded with Mrs
Martha Burr and from her house the
funeral took place at 2 O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon.
Mr.. Morse was native of New York
state, but for twenty-three years he and
his wife have lived in Dubuque where
he had large jewelrY store. He was
somewhat past middle life. but seemed
younger by many years, and he i'm.
pressed those who met him as a gentleman
of the old fashioned type, of direct and
simple manners, of strong, earnest con.
victions. Mr.. Morse came among us 10
live, and in our little cemetery upon the
hill he now lies buried. Death came 10
him here suddenly, but who dare doubt
that when it came as day broke
over TIE earth, the light we cannot see
dawned upon him, the light of unfulflled
felicity.
