Fact Check and Notes

Adopting C.H. Morse!

Details on changes:

Updated article for some factual errors and put in additional resources/citations.
C.H. Morse was not a founder of Winter Park, Florida (Winter Park Public Library lists him as a founding father but all other sources only list Chapman and Chase as the initial founders of the city as well as the ones who named the city).
Erased reference to Elizabeth Morse Genius Charitable Trust within article; it was founded by Morse's grandson, Richard M. Genius Jr., and was not relevant to the article as currently written. May add back in as article is expanded.
Morse not a co-founder of Rollins College; also, cannot find any citation for him being on the board of trustees (though it is possible due to his involvement in the community?).
Need to double check some of the references cited; the website used seems old?

Notes for future updates:

The relationship between Morse, E.T. Fairbanks & Co., and the company that would eventually be known as Fairbanks, Morse & Co. is not clear. Also need to clarify the difference, if there is one, between Fairbanks-Morse and Fairbanks, Morse & Co.
Expand section on Morse in Chicago, as well as Morse in Winter Park. Was an influential figure in both cities.
Will look for more sources outside of the web.

All the best, --Roving Ginger (talk) 20:28, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
