Well that's interesting!
Morrison served only one term as the Liberal MLA for Cape Breton South from 1937 until his defeat in the following election in 1941. He was appointed County Court judge in October 1946, a position he held until his retirement in 1976. In 1984, when he would have been 82 years old, he was known to be living on Whitney Avenue in Sydney, but then all trace of him — at least online — vanish after that. Would anybody know when this man died?
