DEATH OF COL. J.C. MORROW
Col. J.C. Morrow died at the Soldiers Home at Minnehaha Falls on Sunday last at the age of 57. The deceased was a native of Woodsfield, Monroe County, Ohio, and enlisted in the Ninety-Second Ohio volunteers early in the war. His ability secured him promotion and he rose to the rank of a lieutenant colonel, being the youngest officer of that grade, it was claimed, in the service. He served in the army of the Tennessee and participated in Sherman's famous march through Georgia. Upon the close of the war he came to Minnesota and opened a law office in Faribault in partnership with the late John S. Randolph. During his residence here he served one term as Judge of Probate. About 10 years ago he removed to Minneapolis, where he resided until he entered the soldiers' home.
Col. Morrow had a fine physique, conjoined with superior natural
abilities, and had he possessed the power of self control might have made
for himself an enviable record professionally and in society. In an evil
hour he became a slave to intemperance and all efforts at emancipation
proved fruitless.

The following obituary of T.C. Morrow of whose death mention was made in this paper of Thursday last, is from the Mazomanie Sickle.
Thomas Coleman Morrow died at his home, a short distance north
of this village, last Friday evening, dropsy and asthma being the cause
of his death. He was born in Woodsfield, Ohio, April 6, 1850. He moved
to Mazomanie with his parents in 1868, and has since resided at the old
homestead. Deceased was educated in the Mazomanie schools and the Platteville
normal. He followed teaching for a number of years, and it is said he excelled
as an instructor. Having been a sufferer from asthma since infancy, he
could not play as other boys, and his mind turned to other sources of amusement.
He was a keen observer, a great reader and a man of large mental ability.
He was well versed in Indian lore, and as a naturalist had no equal in
this part of the country. Scarcely a bird, small animal or reptile native
of these parts but he knew their habits. He was a friend of the boys, and
took delight in helping them with the more difficult problems that confronted
them in their school work. He was also an artist of no mean ability, and
has many excellent paintings. He leaves one brother, J.F. Morrow, of Spring
Green, and one sister, who lived with him. An older brother, a colonel
in the army, died a few years ago in Calfiornia (sic). Mr. Morrow was buried
Tuesday, services being held at the house at 1:30 p.m., conducted by Rev.
Crawford.
