was one of eight children; George, Aman-
da, Corydon, Dennison, Cordelia, Eunice,

at Four Corners. November 20, 1857,
Mr.. Morse was married to Emily Wiley
at New Market, N. H., three daughters
were born to them and they have one
adopted son, Walter Morse. The daugh-
tiers are Mrs. Charles Goss of Littleton,
Mrs. Nate Kinney of Waterford, and
daughter Mary, who is on her way home
from the west with the remains of her
husband whose funeral is to be held at
Montpelier, Oct. 80. Mr.. Morse was
veteran of the civil war, being sharp
shooter at the time of his enlistment.
He has been an honored member OF Wood
bury Post, G. A. R., and at the time OF
his death was the color bearer. Funeral
services were held from his late home
Sunday afternoon, Rev. ]. Hird OF
Waterford officiating and the lnterment
was in the Waterford cemetery. The @.
A. r. were present in body and he was
buried under their burial service. By
strange coincidence his brother Dennison
died the same day of the month and was
buried the same day and hour, 80 years
ago. The sympathy of all is extended to
Mrs. Morse, to the daughters and son.
The Nor thern Chemical Works were
burned to the ground early Monday
afternoon. The company was started
here about year ago by the enterpris-
ing Lyndonville boys, Morton ]. and Ben
Lyster, and it's products were wood alco
hol, creosote and charcoal. Much of the
machinery for distilling the products was
imported from Germany at great ex
pense and the fire is a great loss to the
young men. The plant was insured for
$4,000 which does not cover the loss.
Surely we need better facilities for fight
ing fire.
