Hon. Andrew Morrow is representing the third district of Wyoming in the state legislature and is thus taking active part in framing the laws of the state. For some time he has been a recognized leader in the ranks of the democratic party in Wyoming, laboring earnestly at all times to secure the adoption of those principles which he firmly believes are the most effective agencies in good government. In business connections he is well known as a representative of the Blyth-Fargo-Hoskins Company of Kemmerer, in which city he makes his home.
    He was born in Dumbartonshire, Scotland, March 18, 1879, a son of Mathew and Elizabeth (Dollar) Morrow, who were also natives of the land of hills and heather. In the year 1886 the father brought his family to the new world, settling at Almy, Wyoming, where he engaged in mining for a considerable period, but is now living retired, enjoying a well merited rest. His political endorsement has always been given to the democratic party and he has been much interested in its success and in the upholding of democratic standards. He served for many years as county commissioner of Uinta county and he is now chairman of the democratic central committee. He has exerted much influence over public thought and actions, especially along political lines. In a business way, too, he has made for himself a creditable name and position, becoming one of the successful men of his community.
    Andrew Morrow was the seventh in order of birth in a family of thirteen children. He acquired a public school education in Almy, having been a little lad of but seven years when brought by his parents to the new world. He started out to provide for his own support as a youth of fourteen and was originally employed in the mines. He followed mining for ten years and then turned his attention to commercial pursuits, for in the meantime he had carefully saved his earnings until his industry and economy had brought to him sufficient capital to enable him to embark in business for himself. He then purchased a stock of groceries and conducted his store for three years, at the end of which time he sold the business. For the past three and a half years he has been connected with the Blyth-Fargo-Hoskins Company at Kemmerer and thus continues an active factor in commercial circles in the city.
    In 1905, in Evanston, Wyoming, Mr. Morrow was married to Miss Selina Heward, a native of Almy and a daughter of L. and Elizabeth Heward, who were pioneer settlers of Wyoming. The father was at one time a member of the state legislature. He is still living, but the mother has passed away. To Mr. and Mrs. Morrow have been born four children, Berenice, Howard, Ethel and Dale. The family occupy an enviable social position, the hospitality of the best homes of their section of the state being freely accorded them.
    In politics Mr. Morrow has long been a stalwart democrat and one of the active workers in party ranks. In November, 1916, he was elected to represent his district in the state legislature and he has been instrumental in introducing and securing the passage of a bill providing for two terms of court for the third judicial district. He also framed various labor bills which are still pending. He has served as a member of the city council and has done everything to advance municipal interests and welfare. He is president of the central labor council, which office he has filled for the past three years. Fraternally he is connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of Rock Springs and with the Knights of Pythias lodge at Diamondville and the family are members of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Morrow belongs also to the Chamber of Commerce of Kemmerer, of which he is the second vice president, and he cooperates most heartily in all of those projects put forth by the organization for the benefit and upbuilding of the city. While advancing his individual interests in a business way he has ever found time and opportunity to cooperate in all those interests which are of worth to the community and is a most valued citizen, enjoying the friendship of his fellow townsmen in Kemmerer and in Lincoln county and the high regard of all with whom he has become associated through legislative connections.
