He served as clerk in his father's store until 1869, when he went to Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, and entered the employ of the Economy Savings Institution, and was made assistant cashier in 1885. He was also secretary and treasurer of the Western File Co., secretary of H. M. Myers & Co. (Limited) Shovel Works, and treasurer of the Beaver Falls School Board.
His education was obtained in the public schools of Frankfort Springs, Pennsylvania, and the Iron City Business College, and after completing his studies he was employed as clerk in his father's store until 1869.

Mr. Morrison supported the Republican party in all important issues and for twenty-one years served on the board of school directors. In the Presbyterian church, to which both he and his wife belong, he served as both trustee and deacon.
