The Belding Banner, Thursday, August 8, 1907
Alvin Morse, one of Belding’s most respected and honored citizen, and a 
resident of Michigan for the past forty-one years, answered the final summons 
at his home on the North Side on Sunday, August 4. At 3:45 p.m. after an 
illness of nearly two years as a result of a stroke and paralysis which he 
received in November 1905.  Mr. Morse was born in Jefferson, Schoharrie 
county, N. Y., April 5, 1828, and was at the time of his death seventy-nine 
years, four months old.  He moved to Michigan in 1866, locating in the then 
new country at Stanton, later living on a farm in that vicinity.  In 1890 he 
moved to this city where he has always been a respected and honored citizen.  
Nearly two years ago he received a stroke of paralysis and for some time it 
was hardly thought he could survive it, but he gained sufficiently to get 
about again, although quite feeble at all times since the attack.

Mr. Morse leaves behind to mourn his loss an aged wife; two sons, Parker of 
Dardanelles, Arkansas, and Orlo of Bellevue, Michigan, and daughter, Miss 
Lottie of this city; one brother, Daniel Morse of Laingsburg, and three 
sisters, Mrs. Jerome Sagendorf of this city, Mrs. F. A. Palmer of Jackson and 
Mrs. John Resely of Lockport, N.Y., are also survivors.

The funeral was held at the late residence on Tuesday afternoon at three 
o’clock, Rev. D. E. Hills of Greenville, an old-time friend, preaching the 
sermon, and the remains were taken to Stanton Wednesday morning for interment.
