Andreas History of the State of NE, pub 1882 


Nemaha co, NE: JOHN H. MORRISON, farmer, P. O. Brownville, is a native of
Miami County, Ohio, where he was born in 1822. His boyhood was passed in
his
native State, which he left in 1850 for California. Returning to Ohio, he
lived there till 1857, when he settled in Nemaha County, Neb., was a
Brownville merchant for a time, and was elected County Treasurer in 1860.
Owing to the fact that all the able-bodied tax-payers of the country were
nearly all on Southern battle fields, Mr. Morrison could not support his
family on the office fees, and resigned in about a year. In 1870, he
exchanged his town property for the farm on which he now lives. He
married
Nancy E. Favorite in his and her native county. They have five
children--Laura B., born in Miami County, Ohio; Carrie M., Edwin B. and
Phil
Sheridan, born in Brownville, and Mattie M., born on the homestead. Mr.
Morrison is a Republican of Whig antecedents, and a member of the
Cumberland
Church.
