Note

According to "The History of Clinton County, Ohio", "W.R. Morton was a physician and surgeon who lived at Reesville. He was born in Greene Township in 1840. At the age of 28 years, he began the study of medicine under a learned physician, who was his preceptor until he entered the Cincinnati School of Medicine and Surgery during the term of 1869-1870, from which institution he graduated and immediately entered upon his profession at Centerville, Ohio, for four years, when he removed to Reesville, where he has since attended to the demands of his practice. The Doctor is a member of the Clinton County Medical Association, to which he has belonged almost from its organization. He is a worthy member of the Centerville subordinate Lodge of I.O.O.F, No. 531, and also of the Sabina Encampment, No. 182. In 1862, while in Henry County, Iowa, the Doctor volunteered in Company B, of the Twenty-fifth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, for three years. He saw active service the whole time, and passed through about thirty engagements. He was honorably discharged in 1865. January 9, 1867, he was married to Miss Ellen, daughter of Isaac Johnson, of Clinton County, Ohio, who has borne him five children, four living: Catherine B., Oliver B., Angie and Leslie; Richard, deceased. The Doctor and his estimable wife are worthy members of the Christian Church of Reesville."
