A Few Of Marion's Young Business Men of 1902

  

                                                      
                                   J. H. Morse

The handsome stores and office building of Marion are largely the result of Mr. Morse's architectural and building skill.

With an abiding confidence in the future of our handsome city, he very early undertook the remodeling and beautifying of many of our old style and poorly constructed buildings.

The streets of Marion are lined with reconstructed and handsome business houses, due to his foresight in preparing for the future.

Mr. Morse's experience in mercantile life has also been one of entire success.

He has handled during the past nine years as many as sixteen stocks of goods purchased from as many merchants retiring from business, and has disposed of the entire lines.

Mr. Morse is agent for the Home Fire and Tornado Insurance Company, of New York, and his work has been most satisfactory in every way.

He has offices at Pickens, Cavender & Pickens dry good store.

       James S. Henry

The sale of an interest in an exceedingly promising lead prospect over the Ohio River in Illinois for six thousand dollars has brought Mr. Henry into prominence as a successful mining man.

Born at Madisonville, Ky., he received his education at the Marion High School in this city.  

From the school to the technical work of a worker in marble and to a business life in the fire insurance line, was the preparation he received for his work in the mining field.

Twenty-six years of age, the last four being passed in a prospector's life, he has made many friends and many dollars.

He has all the make-up physically and mentally for his chosen work, and will no doubt achieve success.

                    Levi Cook

A graduate of Marion High school supplemented by a three years course at the Lebanon, Ohio, Normal, his strong liking for anything pertaining to machinery finally led him into the production of fine timekeepers.

Entering as an apprentice in the works at Morganfield, Mr. Cook, in due course of time, became as he is at present, one of the most practical and expert jewelers and watchmakers in the State.

For five years he has presided over his fine jewelry establishment on Main Street.
