We haven't found a formal wedding announcement or marriage record yet for Mary's wedding but did find that the Mount Holyoke Directory of 1887 provides a record that Mary S Bennett married Charles W. Morse and also lets us know that she attended Mount Holyoke!
MARY S BENNETT MORSE
Mary Bennett was born Feb 3, 1853 in Newmarket, New Hampshire to Abigail Adams Shackford and George A Bennett. Her father was a druggist, the Boston and Maine station agent, and a farmer and was also described as "an intellectual man with a well-read library." We find Mary living with her parents at age 7 in the 1860 census but by 1870 she has left home, possibly attending Mount Holyoke where she graduated in 1872. She married Charles William Morse in 1875 and gave birth to a daughter Catherine (Kate) Morse on July 9, 1876. She remained in Haverhill her whole life and announced a genealogy in preparation about Arthur Bennett of Newmarket in January 1906. In July 1906 the publication about William Shackford of Newington was announced being drafted jointly with Samuel Shackford of Winnetka, IL and S. B. Shackford of Dover, NH. We presume that Mary was researching the Newington and Newmarket SHACKFORD descendants.
In 1908 Mary donated two books and eight manuscripts to the New Hampshire Genealogical Society (we'd love to learn what they were!). Five years later her husband died while on a business trip to Florida. He'd gone there to improve his health so possibly she had spent time helping to care for him in the preceeding years. After his death, Mary moved to 206 Lawrence St in Haverhill where she lived with her daughter Kate where she was involved in the Lady's Monday Women's Club. We haven't found her obituary yet but know that Mary Shackford Bennett Morse died on November 25, 1930 in Haverhill at the age of 7 and is buried in Linwood Cemtery in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
