• Notes

  Charles Morse Sr. procured his education in the public schools of Acushnet. About the year 1843 he shipped for a whaling voyage on the Maverick. The vessle was wrecked off the coast of Chile and Mr. Morse's hard experience in his five year's voyage induced him to discontinue the occupation. On his return he settled at New Bedford, and worked at shipbuilding there for several years, when he yielded to the temptation to return to his native town, where he was afterwards engaged in farming. He served the town several years as Highway Surveyor and held other positions of trust. He was an active and devoted member of the Advent church many years previous to his death. [1]
