Morris L. Blowers, who for many years was a well known and 
respected citizen of Wabasha County, was born in Oneida County, New 
York, January 2, 1856. When nine years old he was brought by his 
father, John Blowers, to Minnesota, who settled on land in Quincey 
Township, Olmsted County. There Morris attended the rural schools 
and was trained to agricultural pursuits. In 1880 he began farming on 
his own account, in Olmsted County, whence he removed in April, 
1884, to Wabasha County, buying a farm of 105 acres, 40 acres of which 
lies over the line in Olmsted County. Here he succeeded in building up 
a good farm and establishing a comfortable home. He became 
prominent in agricultural circles and was always ready and willing to 
support every good cause that stood for right and justice. His untimely 
death, on July 22, 1912, when he was killed by one of the animals on his 
farm, caused great sorrow in the community and was a severe blow to 
his loving wife and children. The farm is now operated by his only son, 
Archie G. Mr. Blowers was married September 21, 1880, to Lottie A. 
Brink, who was born in Quincey Township, Olmsted County, Minn., 
May 21, 1862, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Brink who settled in that 
county in 1862. The issue of this marriage was two children: Archie G., 
born September 21, 1882; and Sarah E., born November 15, 1885. Both 
reside on the home farm with their mother.
