Bath, July 10, 1927 – Miss Jennie R. Morse, 72, one of Bath’s best known women died Friday afternoon at her home, 942 Washington St. In her death Bath loses a woman of the highest character, a woman held in universal esteem and beloved by all. Born in this city, a daughter of Benjamin Wyman and Anna Eliza Jane Rodbird Morse, she has always lived here, and many years ago was a member of the board of managers of the Old Ladies Home, was a member and active supporter of the Universalist Church and was always interested in movements for the welfare of the community at large. She was deeply interested in music and frequently accompanied Emma Eames in the early days of her public singing and many recall that she frequently appeared in the concerts where Adelina Patti was featured. She was a founder of the old St. Cecilia Club and ever maintained her fondness for the piano. She was a member of the Fortnightly Club. Her home life was charming and it was at her home that the children of her brother, Charles W. Morse, were brought up. Besides her only brother, she leaves three nephews, Benjamin and Erwin Morse of Washington, D.C., and Harry Morse of New London, Conn., one niece, Mrs. John [sic] C. Geiger of Chicago, and her uncle, Capt. James T. Morse of Bath.
