Morton, Sr. (d. 1919) and Annie Duncan (1853-1902), were also variety performers. The Harry K. Morton family scrapbooks and memorabilia date from 1880 to 1950. The collection consists of a scrapbook on the life and career of Harry K. Morton, Sr. and a scrapbook and loose photographs, clippings, and programs documenting the career of Harry K. Morton. The Harry K. Morton, Sr. scrapbook contains material dating from 1880 to 1906 and includes clippings, poems, lyrics, handbills, and other ephemera concerning Morton, Duncan, and their associates. The scrapbook also contains two cabinet cards with photographs of Morton and Duncan. The Harry K.
