lirotlier Edward-Paysiju are from the pen of their sister, Mrs. M.-
Lizzi*' Park, Belfast, Me.
'' From a chihl he was of a thoughtful mind, mature in judg-
ment and conscientious in character; and as years passed over
him, these traits were still more strongly defined. His purpose
and desire were to obtain a liberal education, and for this object
he entered the academy at Atkinson, X. H., preparatory to a col-
lege course. While liiere. his attention was strongly called to
religious things, and the result was, that he entered with his
whole heart and fcoul upon a new life, which Ijrought with it
strength to bear and suffer during a long and j)ainful illness, and
titt«'il him for the rest which remaineth for the people of God.
For neaily two years before his death, he was a member of the
Presbyterian church in Windham, N. H. He had nearly finished
his preparatory course, when consumption laid its wasting hand
upon him. While giving up the studies in which he delighted,
and all the plans of his earthly future, which were dear to him,
he cheerfully obeyed the summons, 'Come up higher,' and entered
into rest De'c. -2'/, 1857, ae. 21 yrs. 20 days."
195. Edward-Payson* [12«i] (Jeremiah^ Samuel*, Lieut. Sam-
uel*, James-, John'). " Very early in his childhood he showed
that he w;is possessed of a very active mind, <piick to acquire and
strong to retain, which developed into a decided and eager taste
for literary jnirsuits. At the age of thirteen he became a member
of the academy at Atkinson, X. H., where he finished his prepar-
atory course, intending at once to enter college. While teach-
ing in the winter of 1857-58, the first symptoms of consumption
were manifested, and from them he never recovered. Like his
684 (;f,xrai.()(;iks : i.konakd-allfson MonKrsoN-i.
bi'othev, he early became a jxiember of Christ's churcli, and,
strengtliened and upheld by a like precious faith, he gave up the
bright hopes of his youth and the brilliant ])roniise of his future,
and cheerfully laid down his life while it was 'yet morning.'
He d. Aug. 5, 185S, at Peacham, Vt., where he had gone in the
hoj)e of regaining his health, at the age of 18 yrs. 6 mos. 7 days."
"Death caiuiot come
To hiiu untimely, who is tit to die.
I The less of this cold world, the more of heaven :
The briefer life, the earlier immortalit.v."
190. Leonard-Allison*' [125] (.Jeremiah", Samuel'', Lieut. Sam-
uel^, James-, John^). Leonard-A.Morrison was born in Windham,
N. H., Feb 21, 1843, and is unmarried. By the death of his
brothers, and the jn-ecarious state of his parents' health, the bur-
dens of life fell upon him at an early age, which deprived him
of the opportunity to obtain a liberal education. He was edu-
cated in the common schools of Win<lham, the Union School,
Gowanda, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y., and at the New Hampshire
Conference Seminary at Sanbornton Bridge (now Tilton). This
education has been supplemented by intercourse with the world,
by reading, and by private study. From his youth it has been
his settled determination, year by year, to add to his informa-
tion upon all points possible, and thus partially to make amends
for the deficiencies in his early education.
He was always fond of reading, and for several years took
books from the circulating library in Lawrence, Mass., and in them
found companionship, solace, and delight. It is a pleasure to him
to read the best writers in poetry, history, or romance, and thus
hold communion with those rare individuals of the world who
have stamped their own personality u{)on their works ; whose
words bear the impress of their souls, and l)ring to the minds of
their readers thedeej) feelings and thoughts that gushed from the
depths of their hearts, — knowing that it is thus that we enter
into their lives, and see and feel and know what they have seen
and felt and known.
He was selectman in 1871-72, and by virtue of this office be-
came a trustee, and aided in the establishment at that time of the
Nesmith (Free) Pidilic Liln"ai"y of nearly two thousand volumes.
This work was congenial to his tastes, and he entered into it
with enthusiasm. He served as moderator of the annual town-
meetings in 1.S74, '75, '76, '77, '78, '79, '80, '81, '82, and '83;
has been a justice of the peace since 1869, and was enumer-
ator of the census in 1880. Since 1861 he has been a contrib-
utor to the newspajiers. In j)olitics he is a Republican, and
for two years, 1880-82, was a member of the Republican State
Committee,
In 1878, '79, '80, he prepared the "History of the Morison, or
Morrison, Family," an o(;tavo volume of 470 pp., published by A.
(;eneaf.()(;iks : .ioun mokkoW". 685
Willimiis & Co., of Boston, Mass., and an edition of l,l()(i copies
was jirintod. This was fax orably received by thi' family and the
press. Copies soon found their way to Scothmd and England,
into the libraries of many of the different States, intc; libraries of
many histori«':il soeieties and eojleixes, and the ])ublie libraries of
many of our hir^er towns and cities. This large edition, for a
family history, was rapidly exhausted, till now (April ;">, 1883) less
than a score of copies remain unsold in tlie hands of the autlior.
Jn tlie sprincr of 1880, he commenced in earnest the ^ History
of Wintlham, N. H.," his native town. Upon this he lias la-
bored continuously for more than tliree years. In May, 1S82, lie
wrote a co/u/en.'ied history of Windham for the "History of Kock-
irif^liani and Strafford Counties, N. H.,'' j)ul)lished in 188'2, by J.
W. Lewis & Co., of Philadelphia, Penn. On June 14, 1882, he
was elected a member of the New Hampshire Historical Society.
In business, he is a farmer, and tills the i)aternal acres. He
owns the farm laid out in 1728 to the Rev. James McCiregor, first
minister in Loiub)nderry, N. H. It was owned by his great-
grandfather, Lieut. Samuel Morison. It was occujned and owned
by his grandfather and his father.
Here is where they lived, and not far from this is where they
rest in their long and "dreamless slumber." In the old burying-
ground at the head of Windham Pange, a bleak and "wind-loved
spot'" in winter, but in summer "-where green grasses tremble in
the breezes and the warm sunshine calls forth the flowers," rest
members of five generations of his race.t Res. Windham, N. H.
