Rev. George Elwyn Morse was born in Smithville, Lincoln County, Niagara District, Ontario, Canada West, March 8, 1858. Over 84 interesting years passed by before his spirit was called back to the God who gave it. Over 3O of those years were spent in the ministry of the Methodist Church. Some of those years were difficult and discouraging but he served faithfully and cheerfully wherever and whatever his lot may have been.
His early years were spent in Western Canada and his early education was received there. He felt a definite call to the Christian ministry and took training to prepare himself for the work to which God had called him. He graduated from the School of Theology, U. S. Grant University, Chattanooga, Tennessee, May 8, 1894. On December 1O of that same year he was married to Luna Parker of South Alabama, Genesee County, New York. Bishop Isaac Wilson Joyce of Chattanooga performed the ceremony. To this union was born two children, Joyce and Estelle. Mrs. Morse and the son, Joyce, survive.
Birdsall, Allen's Hill, Savona, Royalton and South Royalton, Gainesville, Pavilion, Lyndonville and South Byron were the churches in Genesee Conference where he served, very helpfully, as a pastor.
Circumstances forced his retirement from active work in 1923. Most of the years of his retirement were spent with his daughter in Delmar, Sussex County, Delaware, where he became an assistant to the pastors of the Delmar Methodist Church. The last few months of his life were spent with Mrs. Morse in the home of the son, Joyce, in Akron, Erie County, New York, and in a nursing home in Batavia, Genesee County, New York.
The Lord called him home on the Lord's Day, January 31, 1943. The funeral services were held at the Pavilion Methodist Church with District Superintendent, Dr. James F. Bisgrove in charge, assisted by Rev. Ernest Sanderson, Rev. Carlyle Boynton, Rev. J. Harrison Olmstead and Rev. G. Charles Weaver. Burial was in the Pavilion Cemetery.
