McNamee a former pastor, now pastor of the First Methodist church of Tarkio, after which burial took place in the Hopkins Cemetery under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of which the deceased had long been a member.
The following obituary was read by Rev. McNamee.
Walter Cornealius Morehouse was born November 24, 1858, on the old Judge Morehouse homestead eight miles southwest of Hopkins, Missouri, and died at his home in Hopkins February 22, 1923. He grew to manhood on the farm where he was born where he resided continuously until 1880 when he moved to Maryville. His grandfather, Judge Stephen Morehouse, was at this time probate judge of Nodaway county and Walter served four years in helping with the duties of this office. After leaving the office of the probate judge, Mr. Morehouse served two years as deputy sheriff under Frank Owens. In 1886 he returned to the old farm and devoted his attention to farming, soon afterwards purchasing a large farm east of Hopkins, that was his home until November 1, 1922, when he moved to Hopkins. On January 17,1892 Mr. Morehouse was united in marriage to Minnie Messecar and to this union were born seven children. Mrs. Ruth Swaim, Hollister, Idaho, Henry, Walter, Harley, Virgil, Paul and Edna all of Hopkins, all being present at the funeral. Mr. Morehouse was a man of great strength of character always taking an interest in civic affairs. In politics he was a Democrat and a close student of political economy. While a member of no church, he was always found on the right side of every moral proposition. He was industrious, a good neighbor, a splendid citizen, a loving husband and father and will be greatly missed in this community, and the sympathy of all is extended to the grief stricken wife and family. What a splendid thing to have so lived that when the great change comes, all can unite in their expression of sorrow and say, "We have lost a good neighbor, citizen and friend."
