Information on Levi R Morse is somewhat thin, especially between 1880 and 1897. That’s an eleven year gap. Some personal events in his life have been added to the timeline to show that he was at least in Thomaston, ME, but they do not show what his profession was.

Morse apparently worked mostly in Thomaston, ME, and occasionally in Warren, ME. (They are only 9 miles apart.) He is confirmed as photographer from 1868 to 1900.

There is an excellent review of Levi Morse at the Thomaston Historical Society.

Any additional information would be appreciated.
