_Mr. Morehouse was bCR-n in Marengo, Morrow Co., 

 Ohio, April 15. 1569. In 1893 he. with his father. Th<Bnas 

 H.. and mother. Mary V. Morehouse, together with a grand- 

 father and brother, ronoved from Ohio to Guthrie, Okla. 

 There the young man apprenticed in the printing trade, 

 and later became a junior partner of the writer. In 1897 he 

 accompanied the writer to Boulder to establish here the 

 Colorado RepresentatiTe. This being successfully accom- 

 plished, and having early acquired marked skill in the 

 handling of bees, he sold to its foander his interest in the 

 printing-plant, and invested the same with other capital in 

 an apiary in 1900. About this time he was mairied to Miss 

 Mary Xpes. of Boulder. In 1902 he established the Kocky 

 Mou n ta in Bee Journal, and conducted the same with great 



success and reccgnized ability by reas-tn of £.is seen scien- 

 tific insight into the subjects treated. Rapidly <Hd his 

 business increase till this time, when he had under his con- 

 trol by far the largest number of colcnies of bees of prob- 

 ably any one in the State. 



In March last he strid his journal to a California party. 

 and has since confined his eSu tt s to his apiary and to the 

 duties derolTing opoa htm as secretary of the Colorado 

 State Bee-K ee p e r s ' Assodatioa.

 few weds later an aunt was takes while a near neighbor, 

 and now he has answered tlie sadden call, leaviag an aged 

 motfier alone in the wodd, saTe a bereaved yoong wife with 

 a little soa 16 months <dd. 



Mr. Mocefaoase acquired ^nre than cKdinary s u c c ess in 

 his chosen vocatioa. He was a o^an of marked character- 

 istics, and one whotse manner at oooe impressed all with his 

 earnestness, candor, skin, and honesty. He stood high in 

 the business and fraternal circles of Bofilder : and in the 

 State Associatioa none were SMxe strcmgly recognized in 

 their professioa. 



The fanaal was bdd on Tsesday, July 36l Qaite a 

 large deI^ati<Mi of members of the State Amociation from 

 over the county were in attendance, and the Sural tributes 

 were indeed lavisn and most beautiful, signifying in a 

 measaie the high regard in which the stricken brother was 

 fadd. Leo Vescsst. 



In a private letter to this oSce from Mrs. Morehouse, 

 dated Sept. I^>i, she says : 



" I have had to look after the harrestiiig of hooey frosi 

 600 or m<»e colonies of bees, and conseqsently have had 

 quite a respon^bility, which, sometimes, would seem as 

 tiioagh I could not shoulder ; bat thanks to good friends I 

 have been hdped to su cc ee d very wdl.'*
