DEATH OF MRS. C. H. MORSE

Frances Niles Morse, the wife of Professor Charles H. Morse, professor of music in the College, died at the Mary Hitchcock hospital April 17, in the seventy-second year of her age.

Mrs. Morse was born in West Fairlee, Vt., the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel N. Kimball. Her great grandfather, Judge Nathaniel Niles, was for twenty-seven years a trustee of Dartmouth College. She attended school at the Thetford Academy and also at the Newbury Seminary, and later studied at the Girls' High and Normal School in Boston.

She was married December 24, 1874, to Professor Morse.

For several years Mrs. Morse had been in delicate health, and of recent years, since an attack of glaucoma, had been nearly deprived of her sight.

Professor and Mrs. Morse spent the last winter in Fort Myers, Florida, during which time Mrs. Morse's vigor has steadily declined. After treatment and expert care at the hand of skilful specialists in a private hospital in Jacksonville, Fla., she was brought to Hanover April 14, and was received immediately at the Mary Hitchcock hospital.

Simple services were held at the home of Professor Benjamin T. Marshall, Wednesday, April 18, after which the family went to her old home in West Fairlee, Vt., where services were held and interment made.
