Jesse~H. Morse Of Duxbury
Corner Dead Several
Days.
NO INDICATIONS
OF FOUL nr4AY
Body Was Clothf s n Thin
Shirt Pulled 8 ,out
NecJ s s

Duxbury, Jan. lsA lis body frozen
solid, Jesse H Morse, aged 81 years, Q
local barber, who lived alone, was
found on the floor of his little homo
late yesterday afternoon when officers
Of the law broke into the place after
ncighbors had become Alarmed at not
seeing signs of life about the place
for some days. The last seen Of Morse
was last Saturday when man had
some barbering done, and it is thought
that Horse died several days before his
body was found.
Neighbors had been caring for thu
man to certain extent Of late, and
there had been other times in which
Morse required assistance as he had
been unable TO care for himself because
Of over-indulgence. This time thu
neighbor who first became suspicious
that there might be something wrong
thought that another neighbor had
been taking care of the man; but il
seems that no one had been near the
barber. Yesterday the two compsn.
ions Of the man, his two dogs, set mp
such. a bowling that neighbors became
alarmed. They notified the selectmen,
who, in turn, notified Grand Juror
Jackman. The latter, together WITH
Deputy Sheriff H. J. Parcher, brok
into the house late yesterday and
found the remains Of Morse
The body lay on the floor without
m article of clothing on it except i
thin shirt, which had been pulled up
about the neck. So far as known, thera
were no marks on the body to indicate
foul play, and the physician gives the
cause of death as accidental, due to
exposure. States Attorney C. B.
Adams was called into the case and
last night the body was removed to
the undertaking rooms Of v. L. Per.
kins in Waterbury.
There seems to be little doubt In th5
minds of the people and of the author
tiles that Morse, while in more or less
helpless condition. fell on the floor and
died Of exposure, his body being frozen
solid in the very cold weather that en-
sued.
Mr.. Morse once conducted barber
shop in Waterbury but Of late years
had carried on small barbering busi-
ness in bis own home near the town
house. His wife died some years ago
and since then he had been living
alone, having three dogs as compan-
ons. One of the. dogs died, and the
'amily of three--one man and two
logs maintained the household re.
'ent'y, Morse doing barbering now and
hen and also conducting small
watch repair business.
The dead man was native of DIX
Jury, being the only child of Hazen
md Ellen Bruce Morse. He has some
ousins living and there may be ono
unit surviving. but nothing has been
eard Of her lately.
After the selectmen and relatives
ad conferred this morning it was de-
ided to hold the funeral Saturday aft
rnoon at o'clock at the town hall,
