General Notes: Wife - Nancy Clarissa Morrow

She graduated from the Tionesta high school was educated at Westminster College, the Indiana State Normal, and the Seattle Pacific College, being a graduate of the two latter. She became an Oil City, Pennsylvania, teacher and a member of the DAR. For six years she was corresponding secretary of the Clarion Presbyterial Foreign Missionary Society; editor of "Presbyterial Mission Tidings"; writer for various publications; member of W. C. T. U.; and a member of the Pennsylvania Educational Society and the National Educational Society. [HVC 1919, 712]

She was encouraged to obtain a sound education and attended the Tionesta grammar and high schools, and was graduated from the Indiana State Teachers College. She also was a student of Westminster College, Pennsylvania, and was a graduate from the Seattle Pacific College, in Washington state. Her general career was that of an educator and for many years she taught. Retirement meant only a change of activities, or the giving of more time to interests held in abeyance. Her knowledge of history, American or foreign, medieval or ancient was broad, but she also had an acquaintance with the annals of northwest Pennsylvania that was recognized as authoritative. She became corresponding editor of the "Missionary Tidings," Winona Lake, Indiana, and for some years was president of the Oil City District of the Women's Missionary Society. She was a member of the First F. Methodist Church of Oil City, although reared in the Presbyterian faith. Miss Morrow was a member of the Putnam-King Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution; member and recorder for nineteen years of the Chautauqua Circle, Daughters of the American Revolution; member of the Chautauqua Women's Club, Women's Christian Temperance Union, the Oil City Belles Lettres Club, the Pen Women's Club, founder and for sometime editor of Presbyterial "Mission Tidings," and for six years was corresponding secretary of the Clarion Presbyterial Society. In 1939 she was honored with the degree of Doctor of Literature by Grove City College.
