GEORGE B. MORROW, who is interested in the operation and improvement of two fine farms in Roodhouse township, and is one of the wide-awake, progressive agriculturists of his community was born in the village of Roodhouse, December 30, 1875, and is a son of John A. and Ella (Thaxton) Morrow, the former born in 1849 and the latter in 1854. The father has long been classed among the leading farmers of this part of the county and as one of the representative and influential citizens.

Under the parental roof George M. Morrow spent the days of his boyhood and youth, and his early education was acquired in the schools of Roodhouse, while later he became a student in the high school of White Hall, completing his course there by graduation with the class of 1893. No event of special importance occurred to vary the routine of life for him in his youth. He assisted his father at times and more largely as the years went by, and he grew in strength and efficiency. He has always engaged with his father in agricultural pursuits and is now associated with his father and brother, William A. Morrow, in the cultivation and improvement of two fine farms in Roodhouse township, upon which are excellent residences and outbuildings, and in fact all modern equipments and accessories. Their methods are practical and productive of good results and their work is bringing to them a satisfactory financial return.

George B. Morrow was married August 6, 1900, to Miss Stella C. Johnson and they have many warm friends in this community and enjoy the hospitality of the best homes of Roodhouse and the surrounding district. Mrs. Morrow is an earnest member of the Congregational church. Mr. Morrow belongs to the Knights of Pythias fraternity and gives his political support to the Republican party, warmly espousing its principles because he believes that its platform contains the best elements of good government.
