General Notes: Husband - William Gillespie Morrow


He matriculated at the Baltimore Medical College in 1895; located at West Hickory, PA, was physician for the lumber firm of Wheeler & Deusenbury, and of the West Hickory Tanning Company. He was an elder in the Endeavor Presbyterian Church.

He completed his preliminary education at Tionesta, Forest County, Pennsylvania, and had the distinction of being a member of the first class to receive regular diplomas from the Tionesta Public School, the standard having been raised by the board, of which his father was a member. After graduating he engaged in teaching for a time, but resigned to accept a clerkship in the Winebiddle Pharmacy, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Later he entered the employ of the Tionesta Lumber Company as a raftsman, delivering their last cut of 2,000,000 feet to points on the Ohio River as far south as Louisville, Kentucky. After this time, he decided to become a physician, and matriculated at the Baltimore Medical College (later the University of Maryland) where, in 1896, he graduated with honors, locating soon after at West Hickory, Forest County, where for more than twenty-five years, he was a physician for the West Hickory Tanning Company. Always a student and ever alert to promote the work of his profession, the doctor took a number of terms of post-graduate work at the Buffalo University.
Dr. Morrow served as physician of the County Home and as assistant surgeon for the Pennsylvania Railroad for a number of years. He was secretary of the School Board during the greater part of his residence in Harmony Township.
Dr. Morrow, from his youth, took an active interest in the work of the church, having been for many years an elder of the Endeavor Presbyterian Church, a congregation which he repeatedly represented in presbyterial and synodical meetings.
