Dr. Frank Luce
Dr. Frank Luce brought his family to settle in Morrison after losing their Denver home in the Silver Panic of 1893. He built a home on South Park Avenue, but later moved to the Abbo house at the corner of Park and Canon.

Dr. Luce constructed trout ponds in the backyard of the Canon Street house (now Horton House Bed & Breakfast); they were flooded and filled with debris during the floods of the 1930s.
Until about 1940, he served as Morrison’s only doctor, attending his patients in his home office or making house calls.
