Any photos will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list.

Dr. Albert Morrall became the first permanant physician in Wamego, Kansas, and practised there for almost 50 years.
He was born at Grahamville, South Carolina, but moved to Kansas in the spring of 1856, hoping to hunt buffalo. His first camp in Atchison proved dissapointing, with hardly a buffalo in sight. He hoped for more success when he joined a hunting party heading for Marysville in November, but it almost cost him his life.
They made camp at the Big Blue river, but after finding only a few buffalo they proceeded to the Little Blue. This proved almost fatal when, on the first night, they became lost in a fierce wind and snow storm. They wandered for eight days without fire and food, until their feet became so frosted they could hardly move. Albert eventually led the party to safety, but his frostbitten toes could not be saved. Removing them himself, he later described his ordeal in the St. Louis Republican: "When mortification set in, I got a sharp rifle bullet mold and with a file sharpened it, cutting my toes off myself by squeezing the mold down and pulling the bones out like a tooth one by one. I had to go on crutches all that winter."
The following spring he went to Mormon Grove, staked a claim of 160 acres, and built a small house eight feet square. He then spent the summer in Marysville, where he often spent all day hunting with the Indians. In the fall of 1857 he built another small house, secured a partner and started a trading post, but business failed and he lost all his investment. He then became determined to read medicine, and attended lectures at Rush Medical College in Chicago before returning to Kansas.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, he was forced to either leave the state or fight with the Union army. Unwilling to fight against people he grew up with, he chose to return South. He first helped General Price recapture Lexington, Missouri, and then headed for his hometown of Grahamville, South Carolina. Here he joined the southern forces, where he served as lieutenant in Company H, Third Regiment, South Carolina Cavalry, until the end of the conflict.
Surviving the war, but now almost penniless, he found work in Charleston, bought a stock of wheelwright goods, and opened a shop at Monk's Corner with a man named Bonnett. This business proved more successful, and earned him enough funds to return to Kansas the following year. Once settled in Wamego, he re-entered Rush Medical College at Chicago, where he was graduated M.D. in 1867. He then opened the first regular practice in Wamego where his skills earned him the highest esteem.
Albert was a democrat, serving as county health officer and four years as postmaster of Wamego. He was a member of the Baptist Church and in 1862 joined Friendship Traveling Lodge of Masons at Grahamville. He was a charter member and served as Master of Wamego Lodge No. 75, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and was High Priest of Wamego Chapter No. 52, Royal Arch Masons.
As his business prospered, he bought stocks in the Wamego Building and Loan Association. His house in Lincoln Avenue was the oldest building in Wamego and previously belonged to his father-in-law. He also owned two farms west of Wamego, one of 600 acres and another of 30, and had property in Kansas City, Missouri.
He died at the age of 87 in University Hospital at Kansas City, Missouri, as one of the last surviving pioneers of territorial Kansas.
The above details are based on an article published 1918 in "A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans", written and compiled by William E. Connelley, Secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, Topeka. Chicago. A full transcription can be found here
