Henry Lawton Morrison
August 12th, 1820 – December 11, 1903
Father: James
Mother: Hannah (died during child birth)
Married: October 7th, 1846 to Nancy Pamela Castle.
(exerpt from “History of the Western Reserve” by Harriet Taylor Upton and Harry Gardner Cutler)
Mr. Morrison firmly believed that every citizen owed a duty to the town in which he lived, and a service to the public. Though not an office seeker, he accepted those that came to him and gave to the discharge of such duties all the diligence and judgement that he gave to his own affairs.
After holding several minor offices, he was elected mayor in 1857, an office which he again held several times at later dates. He was a member of the board of education from the inception of the public school system in 1856 until 1866. He served as county commissioner from 1875 until 1879. The last public office which he held was that of councilman, in the years 1896 - 1897 – 1898, being president of the council in 1897 and 1898.
