Dr. Morse Had Enviable Record
Of Continuous Service Here
Dr. Willis B. Morse, who died Thursday in Salem, had a record
of the longest continuous "medical practice in the capital city. In
his own profession his skill as a surgeon was widely recognized
and did not lag up to the time of his retirement a few weeks ago.
When younger men with considerable training and skill in his
office appeared able to handle
satisfactorily, he once announced
that he was laying down the scis
sors arid scalpel but as, one by
one, most of them left to enter the
armed services, he ince again be
came active as a surgeon. . tl '
A day or two before the illness
which caused him to leave his of-
flee this spring rfor a rest" on the
advice of a younger associate, he
was said to have performed an un
usually difficult operation with a
sureness and accuracy admired by
younger surgeons ; ot the area. -
The high professional standard,
the ability and , recognition as
physician and surgeon which at
tached to his name came despite
the fact t that, he inherited from
seafaring pioneer father a love
of adventure which found outlet
in a mining expedition to Alaska
in 1899, and in such other activi
ties as mountain trips. He knew,
and loved the high; Cascades and
trails which he there blazed in
his youth are used today. ;
Born in McMinnville, March 21,
1868, he was the son of William
Bent Morse and Nancy K, Mc
Bride Morse. His mother a . na
tive of Missouri, was a sister 'of
the late Judge Thomas A. Me-
Bride of the .Oregon supreme
court' and was herself a pioneer
teacher . in Oregon, instructor . ail
McMinnville college and promi
nently identified with leading ed
ucators of the state; '
The doctor's father, born in
Boston, was of the same family
as Samuel B. Morse, the inventor
of telegraphy. At 21 he w& mas
ter ofa ship,' sailed to the most
I .-i . J 1 At , .
important ports in., ue mono, m
1849 he returned ; to the west
coast, which be had visited on a
trip by sailing. vesseL and in 1850
settled in McMinnville, where he
was married and established his
home. He engaged in various pur
suits and was first: warden of the
state penitentiary in 1868. Later
he was associated i with the rail
way mail service to the time of
Ms death in 1883.1
Willis B. Morse attended pub
lic schools at St Helens, the nigh
school at Portland and Wasco
academy at The Dalles and men
Willamette university, from which
he received his doctor's degree in
medicine in ApriL 1891. -
In 1899 be married Efhell Cu-
sick, daughter of the-pioneer Will
iam Cusick family of Salem, t who
died in 1908., His mother,. Nancy
Dolman, Who had remarried aft
er his father's death, .made heri
home with him until her death in
the early 1920's. t
For 20 years he was a member
of the state board of health and
once served as its president Dur
ing World War I he was rhirman
Of the medical advisory board of
the state. He was a member of
the county and state medical soci
eties, serving the latter aa presi
dent in 1927. He was also a mem
ber of th American Medical as
sociation and was ; elected to the
American College of Surgeons.
Like his father, he was active
in Freemasonry. He was a mem
