Morey, Royal, farmer, Lake City, is a native of Orange county, Vermont,
and was born in 1823. His parents, Joshua and Lucinda (Pennock) Morey,
were representative New England families, and descendants of Scotch
ancestors. They were principally farmers, though some of their scions had
chosen the professions. Mr. Morey (our subject) was reared a farmer, and
has made it his life business. He was married in his native state, January
1, 1850, to Miss Jennette Ellen Felton, a daughter of Amos Felton, born in
Orange county, Vermont, in 1828. In 1861 they came to Minnesota, landing
at Lake City on October 4, and at once settled on a farm in the town of
Chester. Here they resided three years, during which time their home was
frequently visited by marauding bands of Indians, who delighted in
terrorizing Mrs. Morey and her defenseless children, as well as
appropriating to their own use every article of food in the house. He then
removed to Lake City, for the purpose of educating his children, whose
names in the order of their birth are: Charles Anson (whose sketch
follows); Edith E., wife of Joseph B. Peterson, of Sioux Falls, Dakota;
Bertha C., now Mrs. John A. Leonard, of Lake City; Florence M., a graduate
of the State Normal, and engaged in teaching; and Jennette E., at home.
Mr. Morey and wife are not residing on their farm, within and adjoining
the city limits, and enjoying the blessings of an honorable family, and an
industrious and well spent life.
