(III) Judge Thomas Anderson Morrison, son of William and Elizabeth ( McMaster) Morrison, was born in Pleasantville, Venango county, Pennsylvania, May 4, 1840. He was educated in the public school, Pleasantville Academy and the Pennsylvania State Normal College. He became a very learned man, his lifetime being devoted to study, and to this habit more than any institution of learning his later successful career may be ascribed. At eighteen years of age he began teaching school during the winter months, working during the summer months on the home farm. In July, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company A, One Hundred and Twenty-first Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. He went to the front with his regiment and at "bloody" Fred- ericksburg, December 13, 1862, was borne from the field of battle with one arm shot off and a bullet in his left knee. He was sup- posedly fatally wounded, but youth and a strong constitution triumphed and after a long term in Washington Hospital he was honor- ably discharged and mustered out in April, 1863. He returned to Pleasantville minus an arm but plus an experience that was perhaps worth the loss as he never faltered in any crisis of his after life, but with the same daunt- less courage that carried him up the bullet swept slopes of St. Mary's Hill, the Confed- erate breastworks, he meets every emergency and presses ever onward. He held the office of justice of the peace in 1864-65. In 1867 was elected treasurer of Venango county, holding that office two years. In 1871 was ap- pointed United States deputy collector of In- ternal revenue and moved to Oil City, Pennsyl-
164

vania, where he was married, later returning to Pleasantville. He now decided to study law, although at an age where many lawyers have their reputations established. He began to study under Hon. M. C. Beebe and in 1875 was admitted to the Venango county bar and began practice. In 1879 he moved to Smeth- port, where he established a successful law practice and gained so favorable a reputation that in 1887 he was appointed judge of the fourth judicial district of Pennsylvania, com- posed of the counties of Mckean and Potter, and at the following election held November 13, 1887, he was elected to the same high of- fice for a term of ten years. His judicial rec- ord was so flawless that at the expiration of his term he was re-elected for a second term of ten years, which began January 1, 1898. Before the completion of his second term he was appointed by Governor William H. Stone in 1903 (to fill a vacancy) judge of the su- perior court of Pennsylvania. At the ensuing election he was elected to the same office, his term beginning in 1904 and expiring in 1914. The record Judge Morrison has made as a jurist has won him the high regard of the members of the Pennsylvania bar, and espe- cially those of Mckean and Potter counties, with which he was so long associated. He is a member of many legal and other societies, prominent in Grand Army circles, and a life- long Republican.
He married, March 31, 1870, Helen S. Gardner (see Gardner IV) and maintains his permanent residence in Smethport. Children : I.
