BLIND MUSICIAN BURIED

Osage – John Morse of Austin, the blind violinist, was brought here for burial Friday afternoon.

Years ago he lived in Osage, and gave lessons here and in all the surrounding towns. He could find his way about with his cane as easily as anyone with two eyes. While here he went to South Dakota and proved up on a claim.
