Morton commenced medicine at Melbourne and subsequently proceeded to Edinburgh, obtaining the triple qualification in 1882. He then went to America as surgeon on the steamship "Australia" and practised for two years in Toronto with his uncle Dr. E. Morton. Returning to Melbourne in 1884 he became assistant to Dr. O.V. Lawrence, later starting on his own account in the same suburb and building up a very large general practice; this he carried on unremittingly for 28 years, after which he confined his practice to Collins Street. In 1896 he was elected to the Women's Staff and remained thereon for 21 years. For 42 years he held the position of Medical Officer of Health to the City of Fitzroy, gave devoted service to the Melbourne District Nursing Society, and it was through his persuasion and assistance that the Church of England founded St. Ives private hospital. In May 1930 the Archbishop of Brisbane dedicated in St. Peter's sanctuary a panel bearing the carved inscription "In affectionate memory of Francis William Watson Morton, a beloved physician, who in Christ found the secret of a wise ministry of healing and who entered into rest Sunday, January 26th 1930, this panelling was set up, R.I.P." Morton was always a strong force in any movement for advancing and uplifting the profession. He was a member of the Council of the Victorian Branch of the B.M.A. and was its representative at Sheffield in 1908. Up to the time when deafness became a serious handicap, Morton was a regular attendant at scientific meetings and was one of the first advocates in Melbourne of the open administration of ether. A tall man of splendid and handsome physique, fond of all games, he had been a good footballer and played vigorous tennis until quite late in life. He was more than a sound surgeon and an excellent general practitioner; he was a steadfast friend and spent himself unceasingly on his thousands of patients, some of the poorest in the city, in the long years of his Fitzroy practice.[273] ii.
