'Continued from page 1)
Dr. Morse was born in Mc
Minnville March 21, 1866, son
of William Bent and Nancy E.
McBride Morse. His mother was
a sister of the late Thomas A.
McBride, long justice of the
Oregon supreme court. His fath
er was an Oregon pioneer of
the early 50s, settling at Mc
Minnville where he engaged in
various pursuits, was connected
with the Grand Ronde Indian
agency under General Phil
Sheridan and was the first war
den of the Oregon State peni
tentiary to which post he was
appointed by Governor Woods
in 1866.
Specialist in Surgery
Willis B. Morse attended the
public schools at St. Helens, high
school at Portland, the Wasco
academy at The Dalles and
then matriculated in the medi
cal school of Willamette uni
Street
versity where he was awarded
his degree of doctor of medicine
in July, 1891. The diploma from
Willamette university hangs on
his office wall, signed by Thom
as Van Scoy, as president of the
university as well as by faculty
members. Alongside this hangs
a state license issued March 30,
1895, although he had practiced
medicine continuously since his
graduation. The state license
was among the first issued. He
never let his schooling lag, as
shown by a number of diplomas
for extra work done at the New
York Post-Graduate school
where he was accorded high
honors for his accomplishments.
While his practice included
that of medicine, it was in surg
ery that he specialized. He was
a fellow of the American Col
lege of Surgeons and one of his
principal obsessions was to ele
vate and maintain the standards
of his profession.
Doctor Navy Consultant
One of the latest appoint
ments he received in life was
that as honorary consultant to
the surgeon general of the navy,
issued to him by Admiral Ross
T. Mclntire, not only surgeon
general of the navy but also per
sonal physician to President
Frinklin D. Roosevelt. Dr. Mc
Intire studied medicine and
surgery under Dr. Morse, called
him to Washington on at least
two occasions, once in Decem
ber, 1942, and again last fall, to
meet with the honorary board
of consultants who were gath
ered to discuss professional mat
ters as they related to the good
of the service. Admiral Mcln
tire had the highest regard for
Dr. Morse and issued a public
statement from Washington
some time ago in which he re
counted the invaluable services
rendered by Dr. Morse and also
the personal debt owed by the
admiral to the late doctor's tute
lage and influence on his life.
In his role as consultant to
Admiral Mclntire Dr. Morse
had plans laid just before his
illness for a trip through south
ern California inspecting pro
posed sites for installation of
convalescent camps for return
ing wounded service men. He
was also to outline plans for
the convalescent spots to be
established and make recom
mendations to the adniral. How
ever, due to his illness, he was
compelled to cancel the trip
and telegraphed the admiral as
to the change in arrangements.
In addition to studies at the
New York Post Graduate school
Dr. Morse also did similar work
with the New York Polyclinic
and was an avid gatherer and
reader of the best in profes
sional literature as it appeared.
He was a member of the medi
cal staff of the Salem General
hospital and through the years
one of its most ardent support
er and was insistent on the in
stitution reaching and keeping
only the highest standards of
hospitalization.
Headed State Board
In 1899 Dr. Morse was mar
ried to Miss Ethel Cusick of
Salem, daughter of Dr. William
A. Cusick, one of the pioneers
of Marion county, having come
across the plains in the early
forties. Mrs. Morse died in 1906.
For many years Dr. Morse
was connected with the state
board of health and also served
as its president for many years
during his incumbency as a
member. During the first world
war he was a member and
chairman of the medical advis
ory board and during the pres
ent war was also a member of
M
1
a similar committee under the
selective service act responsible
for the allocation of the services
of physicians.
He was a member of the
local medical society, president
of the Oregon State Medical so
ciety in 1926-27, of the Ameri
can Medical association and
American College of Surgeons.
He also was very active in a
number of Masonic affiliations
as he was in Salem lodge No.
336, B.P.O.E.
Lifetime One of Hard Work
In addition to these numerous
responsibilities, he was during
the more active years of his
practice, constantly in the serv
ice of his patients, regular hours
of sleep being virtually un
known to him. And in addition
his interest in civic affairs
never lagged as he advocated
progressive movements of prac
tically every type in the city,
county and state. As a sideline
he had farming interests to
which he paid considerable at
tention and particularly enjoy
ed visits to a farm on the upper
reaches of the Siletz river in
Lincoln county to which he
went for infrequent periods of
relaxation.
On the Siletz farm he main

for some yean a cheese factory

he owned three tracts along the
river but two of these had been
disposed of. The Siletz proper
ties fitted in perfectly with
some of his hobbies, as Dr.
Morse was essentially an out
door man when given the op
portunity. He was a crack rifle
shot, an expert fly fisherman
and also excelled as a camp
cook.
Fascinated By Travel
For a number of years he
had made annual excursions
into the Death Valley in south
ern California, a place which
appealed to him with a great
fascination. On these trips he
was accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. P. C. Patterson of Salem
and for him they always seem
ed to have a rejuvenating ef
fect. In his youth, and while still

attending school, Dr. Morsa
worked as a locomotive engin
eer when the jetty was being
constructed at the mouth of the
Columbia near Astoria. Also he
operated a donkey engine for
a logging concern at Deer Lodge
in Columbia county.
Close friends of Dr. Morsa
say that his outstanding charac
teristic was humanitarianism in
his profession. He couldn't say
"No" to anyone in sickness or
distress. Long after he had
reached an age when his friends
had urged him to enter into at
least partial retirement, a call
from a sick bed received a
ready response, no matter what
time of day or night.
"For over half a century he
dedicated his life to mankind,"
said one of these friends.
