MRS. CLARA MORSE**
DIES IN SEATTLE,
FORMER OSAGER

Mrs. Charles Morse died in Seattle, Washington on July 2, 1944, according to word received here by her cousin, Mrs. Clark E. Gardner.

Most of Mrs. Morse's life was spent in Osage until she and her family moved west about 30 years ago. She was the youngest child in the family of Albert Bush, a pioneer settler in Osage, who resided on north Seventh street for many years.

Flora Bush-Morse was educated in the Osage schools and was married here about 50 years ago. For a number of years she and her husband lived on a farm in the Spring Grove vicinity and later in town when Mr. Morse worked for the telephone company.

She is survived by two daughters and a granddaughter, Mable Morse, with whom she made her home, Ada Atwood and daughter Beth. A sister, Hattie, now Mrs. Frank Austin, lives in Santa Ana, California.
