Charles Nathan Morse
The funeral of the late Charles Nathan Morse, Esq., took place at 10 o'clock, A. M., yesterday from St. Mary's Catholic Church.
Mass for the repose of his soul was celebrated by the Rev. Father Johnston, Chancellor of the diocese of San Antonio, who, in addition, paid a touching tribute to the pure Christian life of the deceased and his devotion to the church and it's charities.
Mr. Morse spent some time in our midst last spring. The climate proved so beneficial to his health that, about one month ago, he returned with is family, intending to become a permanent resident. Before reaching here, however, he was quite ill, and the recent severe weather proved unfavorable to his recuperation. He died at 2 o'clock, A. M., the first instant, leaving a most devoted wife (Charcilla Cecilia nee Moore) and six interesting children, who have the sympathy of our community in their great affliction.
The relatives of the family, in New Orleans, Washington, D. C., and Missouri, were not, owing to distance, able to arrive in time for the funeral. Gen. Stanley, U. S. A., a friend of the family, accompanied Mrs. Morse to the church, and thence to the Catholic Cemetery.
Gen. Vincent, U. S. Army; Col. Waithall and Eugene Digges, Esq., representing the San Antonio bar, and Messrs. Petrich, Dashtell, Quirk, Campbell and Collins officiated as pall-bearers.
Deceased was recently a very prominent member of the New York bar, and with his partner, Gen. M. T. McMahon, was counsel for Gen. D. S. Stanley, of this military department, in the celebrated court-martial case on charges preferred by Gen. Hazen. Some years ago deceased inaugurated a pilgrimage to see the Pope and St. Peters. He was a devout Catholic and always longed to see the great head of the church, as well as it's proudest temple. Accompanying him on his journey were his wife and a large number of prominent Catholics of this country, inducing the Right Rev. A. D. Pellicer, who departed this life in our city some time since. Bishop Pellicer was at the time Vicar General of Mobile, and it is thought that the visit to Rome with Mr. Morse was the key of his elevation to the bishopric of the diocese of this State.
Mr. Morse leaves many friends and acquaintances in San Antonio (TX) to lament his death, among them our worthy district clerk, George R. Dashiell, who was his classmate, and who refers to him as a noble and true man possessed of far more than an ordinary mind. --San Antonio Express, 4th.
