  6. Edmund Needham Morrill attended school at Westbrook Academy and learned the trade of tanner from his father. At the age of 23, he removed to Kansas. In 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company C, Seventh Kansas Cavalry. Within a year he was promoted to Captain, and by 1865 he retired a Major. After the war he began his political career. In 1872 he was elected to the state senate. In 1882 he was elected to the U.S. Congress, serving four two-year terms before declining another, preferring instead to retire. Neverthe less at the urging of his friends, he accepted the nomination for Governor of Kansas in 1894 and served one term, being defeated for a second term in 1896.
