Herbert C. Morrison graduated from Crawfordsville High School in 1919. After a year at Wabash College (his father was a Wabash Alumnus), Morrison took a job at Crawfordsville State Bank and began his lustrous career. In 1927 Elston Bank and Crawfordsville State Bank merged and in 1941 he became the bank president. After 29 years in this role he retired in 1970.
