Died. At his home in this city Rev. Charles Morehouse, Wednesday, January 20, 1896, aged 81 years.
When the tidings of the death of Mr. Morehouse were spread over our city last Wednesday morning they left
sadness in the hearts of the old residents, as this locality had known him as a christian gentleman and good
citizen for over thirty years.
The subject of this sketch was born in Charlton, Saratoga Co. New York, October 28, 1814. In 1853 with his
family he moved to Wisconsin to take charge of a pastorate, and two years later in 1855, the family came to
Evansville, where Mr. Morehouse took charge of the Congregational church society, then in its infancy having
at that time but eleven members.
After giving up the charge here the family left Evansville and were away about seven years, when they returned
and built the residence which they have since occupied.
Mr. Morehouse was a gentleman of peculiar endowments. At the time of the marriage of their younger
daughter, a little over a year ago, Mr. Morehouse memorized the entire marriage ceremony of the Episcopal
Church. Up to within the past few days his faculties were perfectly retained, being able to hear and see as well
as ever. His illness has been long but his suffering comparatively light.
A widow and four children survive the deceased, all of whom will be present at the funeral which will occur at
the Congregational church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock.
