General Notes: Husband - Ephraim Morrison

---

He was educated in the schools of the township, and being ambitious for more training than they could afford, took in early manhood a course of study at the Lewistown Academy. The intervals of study he spent in diligent labor on the homestead, as his father's assistant in farming. During the latter part of their father's life, Mr. Morrison and his brother, Joseph, took upon themselves the active management of the farm; at their father's death, still continuing to work together, they bought out their co-heirs, and entered into possession of the homestead. Their work progressed until 1877, when Ephraim Morrison became engaged in hotel-keeping in Reedsville, and carried on that enterprise for the rest of his life. He was an ardent Democrat, and was interested in public affairs, especially those of his own community. In 1893, he bought the old Myers farm, in Granville township, on which his son later resided.
