General Notes: Husband - Alexander Prentiss Morrow

---

He was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was an early settler in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he was a farmer in Independence township, and was very wealthy at the time of his death, being the owner of fourteen farms.

He attended the common schools and spent his boyhood days on his father's farm, a circumstance that made the choice of a calling a comparatively easy one, his later life being spent largely in the pursuit of that occupation. For a time he was proprietor of a grist and saw mill at Bucktown, and then purchased the old homestead from his father. Continuing the policy of his father, he constantly added to this until his estate reached one thousand acres, a farm of immense dimensions for that locality. He became a sheep raiser, his flocks, hundreds in number, grazing over much of the land. He afterward moved to a farm on Two Mile run, in Brighton township, also making other places in this township his residence, but finally laid aside the responsibilities of active life and spent his latter years in Beaver, where his death occurred. For many years he was a strong Democrat, and held many township offices, such as school director, but later in life he broke all party affiliations and followed an entirely independent course at the polls. The United Presbyterian church ever claimed his earnest support, and of the new Bethlehem church of this faith he was an elder. At his death, aged eighty years, he retained much of the mental vigor and freshness of his youth, although his four-score years had left its mark upon his once sturdy and stalwart frame.

He served as captain of the militia.
