Death of Edgar C. MORSE

Edgar C. MORSE, formerly of Arkdale, this county, died at his home in
Chicago, Wednesday morning at three o'clock, October 28, 1903, and was
buried Friday afternoon at Rose Hill. Mr. MORSE leaves an aged mother and
three small children to mourn his loss. His wife, as many will doubtless
remember, passed to the better land about two and a half years ago.

Mr. MORSE will probably be better remembered as county superintendent of
Adams county than in any other capacity as he served as such for seven
years, during which time he made the acquaintance of a large number of
friends. It was during this time that he met the lady who afterwards became
his wife.

Since leaving Arkdale he has been engaged in the publishing business in
Chicago, where he built up an exceptionally profitable business. No man in
similar business in Chicago had the respect and confidence of those whom he
met in daily business any more than E. C. MORSE. As his pastor very
truthfully remarked in the funeral discourse, among his associates his word
was as good as his bond.

Mr. MORSE leaves his family in especially comfortable circumstances,
leaving a valuable property besides $17,000 life insurance.
