General Notes: Husband - Andrew Porter Morrison

---

He graduated at Wash­ington College in the class of 1849; read law with his brother Joseph, and with Judge William McKennan, from 1852 to 1854. He was associated in the practice of law with his brother, Joseph S., at Pittsburgh, from 1854 to 1861. On May 1, 1861, he enlisted in Company A, Ninth Regiment Penn­sylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps; was made a cor­poral, and was promoted July, 1862, to be ser­geant-major; was desperately wounded at the battle of South Mountain, September 14, 1862; was mustered out with his regiment May 12, 1864. He was historian of the Ninth Regiment of Penn­sylvania Reserves. At the dedication of the Gettysburg Monument, his address elicited high encomiums as a carefully prepared and accurate historical paper. After the war, he resumed the practice of law, associated (as formerly) with his brother Joseph, until the death of the latter in 1886, afterward conducting the prac­tice alone. Having been warned of the dangers of heart trouble, he gradually gave up his law practice, refusing new business, and rapidly clos­ing up his docket, when suddenly overtaken by death.
