(Husband) Relationship NoteIt is unlikely that Annis, the wife of John Morse of Dedham, and Francis Chickering of Dedham, were siblings. In his Morse-Chickering Correction article, the author acknowledged that the information he had relied upon had come from two secondary sources and that further research had convinced him that "it is most doubtful if Annas, wife of John Morse, was a Chickering."2,3 
Birth*1611John Morse was born in 1611 in Dedham, Essex County, England.1 
Marriage*He married Annis __?__ probably in Dedham, Massachusetts Bay Colony. She was, by early researchers, thought to have been Annis "Chickering", a sister of Francis Chickering. The theory has since been proved false, although many publications, past and present, still perpetuate the incorrect information. John Morse's wife's surname has not yet been learned.3,4,5

b. 25 December 1871, d. 10 September 1907
Family
Birth*25 December 1871Frances Mosemiller was born on 25 December 1871 in Germany.1 
Marriage*6 July 1897She married Thomas J. Woods, son of Thomas Woods and Catherine Jane Casey, on 6 July 1897 in Saint Marys, Elk County, Pennsylvania.1,2 
Injury*18 October 1904Her husband, Thomas, was badly injured on Tuesday afternoon, 18 October 1904, when he was hit by the south bound train between New Maysville and Hawthorn, Pennsylvania. The newspaper reporting the accident expressed wonder that he was not killed. He worked as a boiler maker and was traveling to Verona on a pass which was punched at Falls Creek. How he got off the train was not known. He was not a drinking man, but was known to be a somnambulist or sleep walker. It was thought that he might have left the train while sleeping and sat down on the ties, where he was hit. He was taken to the Odell Hotel in New Bethlehem, where his wounds were dressed. He was expected to recover after a short time, minus two fingers.1,3 
(Wife) Death9 June 1906Frances became a widow when Thomas J. Woods died on 9 June 1906 at age 38. The sad story surrounding his death was published in The Pennsylvania Grit, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, 17 June 1906, on page 17, and was transcribed and included on the Find a Grave Memorial page for his wife, Frances (Mosemiller) Woods. We are very grateful to the people who shared the information.

From St. Marys: "Last Saturday the body of a man was found in the Clarina River in Mill Haven, three miles above Ridgway by an Italian laborer. The body was found lodged on a rock with head and feet in the water. The man was thought to have been dead a week owing to the decomposed state of the body. Nothing was found which would lead to his identification except that two fingers were off of the left hand and a key and chain found on his person. His hat and coat which contained a pass book were missing. As the body could not be identified, it was buried by the county authorities at Ridgway. From the description given of the man found, it was thought to be that of Thomas J. Woods, of St. Marys, and upon investigating it was found that the key and chain found on his person was his property. This morning the remains were dug up, and the body was identified by relatives. Mr. Woods had left St. Marys on May 19, nearly four weeks ago, and for the past two weeks his whereabouts were not known. He was aged 38 years, and is survived by a widow and four small children, who reside here. He was a boiler maker by trade and was employed as a boiler maker at the P. S. & M. R.R. shops. The remains were brought to St. Marys Saturday afternoon at 3:30 and interred in the Catholic cemetery."2,1 
Pregnancy*Frances was pregnant during the events of her husband's disappearance and tragic death. She gave birth to the couple's fifth child, and third son, one week after burying her husband.1,2,4 
Death*10 September 1907She died on 10 September 1907 in Saint Marys, Elk County, Pennsylvania, at age 351 
Burial*13 September 1907 and was buried on 13 September 1907 in Saint Mary's Cemetery, Saint Marys.1
