General Notes: Husband - William Morrow


He became a prosperous farmer in Cowanshannock Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and was counted among that township's most worthy citizens. At that time that section was the Utopia for an ideal republic, being a rich farming community, where each farm home had a representative in college, and where churches were well filled with devout worshipers on the Lord's day. And William did his "bit" in advancing education by assisting in establishing Westminster College, (New Wilmington, Pennsylvania,) and by giving substantial aid to worthy young men and women in receiving a collegiate education. At the time of his death, he was a stockholder and trustee in the Soldiers' Orphans' School at Dayton, and an elder in the Concord United Presbyterian Church. [HVC 1919, 710]
