• Notes

  Mr. Morrison was of that sturdy type of pioneers who came to this county in the middle eighties, homesteaded land and by untiring industry and good management, expanded that small start into a very valuable estate, including the Morrison Ranch in the Lexington neighborhood in this county. It was on his ranch that the first oil and gas was discovered in Clark County, and a few years later the first producing well was brought in. The Olson Oil Company is now pumping oil from two wells on his ranch. Mr. Morrison was a stockholder and director in the Citizens State Bank of Ashland. Mr. Morrison is survived by 6 children, 2 sons and 4 daughters; Mrs. Grace Hart of Denver, CO; Oscar Morrison of Ashland; Mrs. Blanche Foncannon of Ashland; Ralph Morrison of Baltimore, MD; Mrs. Anna Ingram of Caldwell, KS; and Mrs. Dolly Stephenson of Wichita; a number of grandchildren and other relatives, and a host of friends that he made during his over half century of residence in this county.
