JOHN E. MORROW
John E. Morrow resides about three miles southwest of Colville, and devotes himself to farming and raising stock. He is one of the venerable and respected citizens of the valley and has achieved success in his enterprises.
John E. Morrow was born in Peoria county, Illinois on April 2, 1832, the son of James and Elizabeth (White) Morrow, natives of South Carolina and Tennessee, respectively. They removed to Illinois in 1828 where the mother died; the father departed this earth in Iowa. Our subject received a limited education from the common schools and in 1859 went to Missouri. The following spring he crossed the plains to Red Bluff, California. Their party consisted of but ten people and at Mud Springs they had several severe encounters with the Indians, which led them to wait until another train came up. Mr. Morrow lived in California until 1879, and then went to Arizona, thence to Iowa, and in 1887 he located his present place.
In 1874 Mr. Morrow married Miss Lucy J., daughter of Adolphus and Julia (Alderman) Prouty. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Morrow, James A. in Stevens county; Julia E., living at home and teaching school. Mr. and Mrs. Morrow belong to the United Brethren church and have been devout supporters of that denomination. On March 22, 1902, death entered the happy home of Mr. Morrow and took his beloved wife. Her remains are buried in the Evergreen cemetery. Mrs. Morrow was a noble Christian woman and her demise was deeply mourned by all who knew her.
