Albert Sexton Morrison, a well-to-do and estimable farmer of Chetek
Township, near the western limits of the city, was born near the place
where he now lives, May 18, 1872, son of Walter Lowry and Caroline (Sexton)
Morrison, the pioneers. As a young man he went to Minnesota and there
engaged in farm work for several years. He then returned home and bought 38
acres from the estate of his maternal grandfather, Morris Sexton. He
erected a house, barn, granary, swine house, machine shed, silo and other
buildings, and made other improvements. He carries on general farming and
dairying and keeps graded cattle and swine. His holdings include stock in
the Chetek Cooperative Mercantile Co. and the Chetek Auto Co. He and his
wife attend the Methodist Church and she is active in the Ladies' Aid. Mr.
Morrison was married in Chetek to Minnie Louise Knudson, whose parents were
natives of Norway, and early settlers in Adams County, this state, where
the mother died in 1914 and where the father is still living. There were
eight other children in the family: Theodore of Allansby, Wash.; Edith of
Brooks, Wis.; Frank of Kenosha, Wis.; Iver of Adams, Wis.; Ulva, wife of
Victor Totton of Adams, Wis.; and three who are dead. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison

1909.
