Neil MORRISON, the well known stevedore, will in the near future be classed among the rich men of the world. Years ago Daniel McKAY joined a Highland Regiment which was ordered to Canada and sometime afterwards his younger brother, William McKAY, becoming tired of his Highland home in Sutherlandshire, started off in a vessel as carpenter for Canada. The vessel returned to Scotland, but William did not go back to her. He, however, was anxious to serve the Queen and accepted the shilling, joining the regiment to which his brother belonged. Both, however, became tired of soldiering, and in order to free themselves from the claim of England, took 'French leave' and crossed the border into the United States. They settled at Youngstown, Ohio under assumed names. Daniel settled in Youngstown where he lived until a short time ago when he was gathered to his fathers. His offspring, however, still reside there. William had more of a roving disposition and soon made his way to San Francisco. All traces of him were afterwards lost by his relatives and he was given up as lost. It seems, however, that he drifted to the diamond fields of South Africa. Here he went into business under his assumed name as a money lender. He was very successful for according to his will, which was made in Kimberly in 1877, he left 15 million dollars. When the will was drawn up William adopted his correct name and signed it William McKay. He left, it is said, a lot of money to charities, as well as a million dollars to his native village in the Highlands; a few hundred thousand to a friend named McKeown in Youngstown and the remainder to his relatives. William McKay was the youngest brother of Mrs. Morrison, mother of Neil Morrison, so if matters pan out as anticipated, Mr. Morrison's share will be about 21/2 million dollars, as he will come in for his mother's share. Mr. Morrison has three brothers who now reside in the United States, so they too, will become rich, while a sister of his mother resides in Shelburne Co., N.S. Mr. Morrison has had letters from Mr. McKeown of Youngstown in reference to the matter. Messrs. McKeown, Barnhill & Chapman will look into the matter. (see original)
