Morse, A. Born in Oneida county, New York, January 29, 1830. When seven years of
age his parents moved to Niagara Falls, and after a residence here of one year
they proceeded to Carroll county, Indiana. In 1843 he left home and settled in
Lee county, Iowa; labored on a farm four years, and thence to Holt county,
Missouri, and worked at his trade, carpentering, until 1852, when he emigrated
to California, crossing the plains with ox-teams, arriving in this county
October 11, 1852. In 1854 came to Petaluma, and resided until 1856, when he took
up his residence in Marin county, and farmed four years. In 1860 he returned to
Petaluma, and engaged in the livery business and stageing. In 1872 we find him
agent for Wells, Fargo & Co., at Cloverdale, and in 1873, under Grant's
administration, he was appointed Postmaster at Petaluma, and in 1877 reappointed
under Hayes' administration, which position he still holds, with honor to
himself and credit to the citizens of Petaluma.
