Hanging in the cellar
Albert M. Morse, a collector for insurance companies, found dead by his son
Albert M. Morse, a collector for several insurance companies, while suffering from temporary mental derangement, committed suicide early yesterday morning by hanging himself from a beam in the cellar of his home, No. 113 Sullivan street. He got up about 5 o'clock yesterday morning and told his wife that he was going downstairs to finish his rest in a chair. He went out of doors instead and cut off a portion of a clothesline in the back yard. Then he went into the cellar and strangled himself. He was found by his son, Albert Morse, about an hour afterward. Life was wholly extinct. Dr. H.F. Chase of East Syracuse, acting coroner, investigated the case and decided that an inquest was not necessary.
Mr. Morse was born in Newton Mass., in 1833. He came to Syracuse in 1861 and has lived here ever since. He was elected alderman of the Third ward for three successive terms in the '70s. For the past 10 years he has been employed as insurance collector for the Royal Arcanum and other fraternal organizations. He leaves a widow and two sons, Albert L. Morse of this city and William L. Morse of New York.
