Arminda Morse

Mrs. Arminda Carter Morse was born January 29, 1844, in Adams county, Ill. In 1850 she came across the plains with her parents with an ox team company to Salt Lake. With her parents, she was among the first settlers who moved to Parowan, Utah, in 1851, where as a child she was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. On May 5, 1868, she was married to Joseph R. Morse at Parowan, where their three oldest children were born. Their son Collins was born at San Bernardino. They were among the early settlers to move to San Bernardino. The family came to Mesa January 1, 1882, where they shared in the hardships endured by the early settlers of Arizona. As a child, Grandma Morse can remember the trials endured by the Mormons in Illinois and Missouri and the hardships they encountered crossing the plains and pioneer life in the west, but never would complain and was always willing to share her fate with her husband and those who were with them. She leaves to mourn her loss three daughters, Mrs. John Richards, Mrs. Ed Burris, Miss Melissa Morse and son, Collins R. Morse.
