Hazen D. Morrison, who owns and occupies a valuable farm in the
Highlands of Bridgton, was born October 7, 1853, in the house in which
he now resides, being a son of William A. and Almira (Danforth)
Morrison. His father was a lifelong resident of Cumberland County and
one of its most honored and respected citizens. In 1852 he purchased
this homestead property, on which he carried on a substantial business
in general farming and lumbering until his demise in 1888, at the age
of sixty-five years. His wife preceded him to the eternal rest, dying
at the age of fifty-eight years in 1885. They were the parents of six
children, namely: Hazen D.; Ada; John, who died in early life; Nellie;
Howard; and Abbie (deceased). The father was a member of the Society
of Odd Fellows.

Hazen D. Morrison has spent his years on. the farm where his birth
occurred, having assisted in its management during the life of his
father, and afterward becoming its possessor. He has one hundred and
twenty-five acres of land, charmingly situated on the Highlands; and
here he carries on mixed husbandry, besides doing an extensive
business in lumbering. During the summer season he and his wife
accommodate about twenty-five boarders from the leading cities of the
neighboring States, having, during the four summers in which they have
been thus employed, won an enviable reputation as genial hosts. In
politics Mr. Morrison is a sturdy Democrat and a faithful supporter of
the principles promulgated by that party. In 1888, on May 9, Mr.
Morrison was wedded to Miss Elecia N. Keough, who ably assists him in
his labors, presiding in a worthy manner over his pleasant home and
adding to its comforts and attractions.
