Abm. Morrell, Jr.
Abm. Morrell, Jr., son of Judge Morrell, of Albany, New York, was born November 18, 1819, and emigrated to the West at the age of seventeen years, under charge of Thos. G. Gaylord, a relative. He became a partner, in 1839, with Mr. G., in the rolling –mill business; which connection subsisted until 1850, when the firm of Morrell & Jordan-in the same line of business was formed, by the co-partnership of A. M., Junr., and Richard Jordan, of the late firm of Bush & Jordan, of Covington, Kentucky. To the skill, industry, and activity of Mr. Jordan, whose talents as a manager of iron works are unsurpassed anywhere, as well as to the financial and salesman tact of Mr. Morrell, this firm is indebted for its marked success. This establishment has since become, Morrell, Jordan & Phillips, by the introduction of Thomas Phillips, of Cincinnati.
