Re: Who was Harry Morse ?

Before Buffum was a song writer, he was known as a poet. Before that, he was known for being very well spoken. The earliest poem I found so far is from 1912. He did write one about the Titanic sinking, but I have not found it yet.

His dad was a Methodist preacher. He was also a traveling salesman. So every Sunday, he would preach in any church wherever he was. He was on the road for 40 years.

Herbert's daughter also was a minister. Lily Buffum, Herbert's wife, was also a minister.

Buff published a book or two of poetry. I hope to get my hands on one.

He primarily preached in Kansas and California.

Herbert passed away in 1939. Lily moved to Stockton and visited Apostolic churches on occasion.
