General Notes: Husband - John L. Morrison

---

He received his primary education in the public schools, and at the age of sixteen, in July, 1863, he enlisted in the Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania Militia, and served in the 100 days' service. In February, 1864, he again enlisted, in Company A, One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served in all the battles of his regiment up to the close of the war. Returning to his home he attended Oberlin College and Edinboro Normal School, for the purpose of completing his education, and subsequently taught one term. In January, 1868, he entered the Argus office, at Greenville, where he spent one year. On the 1st of January, 1869, he purchased one half interest in the Sharon Herald, and was connected with that paper until January, 1876, when, having been elected recorder of Mercer County, he sold his interest in the paper. At the expiration of his term in the recorder's office he returned to Sharon, and in March, 1879, purchased the Herald, and was thereafter its editor and proprietor. Politically he was a Republican, and a member of the Masonic fraternity and the P. H. C. [HMC 1888, 745]
