Mark Morton (businessman)
Mark Morton (November 22, 1858 – June 25, 1951) was an American businessman and philanthropist. He co-founded the Morton Salt Company.
==Early life==
He was born in 1858 in Omaha, Nebraska. His father, J. Sterling Morton, was the only territorial governor of Nebraska, a former United States Secretary of Agriculture, and founder of Arbor Day.〔"J. Sterling Morton, Dead," ''New York Times,'' April 28, 1902.〕 His mother, Caroline Joy Morton, was the only Caucasian woman present at the signing of the 1854 "Treaty with the Omaha"〔(Treaty with the Omaha, 1854. Signed March 16, 1854; Ratified April 17, 1854; Proclaimed June 21, 1854. ) Accessed December 3, 2007〕 which paved the way for Nebraska's statehood. He grew up at the family home at Arbor Lodge, and attended public schools in Nebraska City.〔"Mark Morton, 92, Led Salt Concern," ''New York Times,'' June 26, 1951.〕
At the age of 18, Mark Morton went to work for his older brother, Paul Morton, as a clerk for the Burlington Railroad. In 1882, he became a salesman for the Harvey Lumber Co. of Chicago, and in 1890 was made superintendent of the main plant of the Nebraska City Packing Co. Later in life, he was also president of the Western Cold Storage Company (a major builder and provider of refrigerated storage facilities and railroad cars for the meatpacking industry).〔
