Royal Morse(8) came to Wisconsin in 1847. He lived five years on a farm in Mt. Pleasant, then moved to the home in Caledonia where he afterward resided. He outlived seven brothers and sisters and was one of the last of the old settlers of his neighborhood. When nineteen years of age Mr. Morse professed religion and always lived a consistent, active Christian life. Many have spoken of his vigor of mind and strong will power which made him unwilling to be idle; also of his great sweetness of spirit and genial manners.
He was alive to the interests of the day. He was a strong abolitionist in the early days of that party.
While in his 93rd year he rode four miles to vote for McKinley.
He was connected with many enterprises which helped to build up the country.
He helped to bet out the timbers for the First Congregational church of Racine where he was long a communicant.
He was firm in his principles. Even the taint of dishonesty was abhorent to him.
He truly lived a long and useful life. He died surrounded by all of his living children and one grandchild who administered to his every want.
the funeral was conducted at his late home by Rev. Wallace Short of Evansville, Wis., a grandson by marriage.----Harriet Morse Weeks
