John G. Morrison. born June 20, 1832, commenced farming for himself in 1854, clearing his land with no capital or assistance but such as his willing hands and strong will furnished him. In 1879, he added lumbering to his farming, and he has made a business success of both, enjoying now a competency his own industry has procured.
