History:
MORRISTOWN,
a city platted in the autumn of 1855 and incorporated as a village in
1874, and its township, organized May 11, 1858, received this name in
honor of Jonathan Morris, who was born
in Pennsylvania, January 9, 1804, and died here November 27, 1856. After
being for 25 years a minister of the denomination called Christians or
Disciples in Indiana and Ohio, he came to Minnesota in 1853 and settled
here in 1855. The post office was established in 1856, with Walter
Morris, son of Jonathan, as postmaster. Courtesy Minnesota

Coyote Caps Gun Works
21255 Independence Avenue
Morristown, MN 55052
Phone: (507) 685-4511
Web: www.coyotecap.com
From the early 1940’s to the mid 1960s,
if you wanted quality gun work completed to your exacting
specifications and at a fair price too, the man you would
call on was Martin J. Ahlman Sr., aka “Coyote Cap”. Cap
picked up that nickname back in the 1930s when he was a
young man, riding the rodeo circuit. As years passed and Cap
started a family, he turned to gunsmithing as a less bone
breaking way of making a living. Cap was considered by
friends and customers to be an artist and in the span of 25
years, Cap built over 400 "Custom" Sporting Rifles for
African and Alaskan hunters, Movie and Television stars and
folks just like you. |
