Andrew M. Morrissey

Andrew M. Morrissey (December 27, 1871 – September 8, 1933)[1] was chief justice of the Nebraska Supreme Court from 1915 to 1927.

[2] Born in Livonia, New York, Morrissey attended the public schools and moved to Nebraska in 1890.

At the beginning of 1915, Attorney General Willis E. Reed selected Morrissey as his deputy, in which position he served until he was appointed Chief Justice in February 1915.

[2] In May 1932, Morrissey became an attorney for the comptroller of the currency in the United States Department of the Treasury, in Washington, D.C., but his service was cut short by ill health that had plagued him since the late 1920s.

In August 1932, he suffered from nervous prostration, and was taken back to Lincoln, Nebraska, to the home of his brother, where he died several weeks later, at the age of 61.
