Donald Morrison (missionary)

Donald Morrison (5 July 1828[1] – 23 October 1869) was a Presbyterian missionary from Nova Scotia to the New Hebrides (now known as Vanuatu).

He was born and grew up in Cape Breton, and went to the New Hebrides in 1864, serving on the island of Efate.

[2] In 1869, Morrison left the New Hebrides due to ill health, and died in Auckland.

[3] His son Alexander Samuel Morrison was a minister in Rakaia, New Zealand and died in 1939.

[1] J. Graham Miller suggests that Morrison was "fearless among the heathen, gentle among the Christians, and at all times a humble servant of the Master."
