Loraine Morrow

Mrs. W.J. Morrow died at her home in Manning, Monday, at 12 p.m. January 20th, 1890, of pneumonia, brought on by la grippe. Mrs. Morrow will be remembered as Miss Loraine Green, daughter of the late Thomas Green, and sister of Mrs. J.B. Jones, of this city. She was born in Wyoming, Iowa, February 5, 1856.

In 1876, she came to Atlantic with her parents, where she resided three years, and then at Lentil one year, where she was married to William James Morrow January 10, 1880. They began housekeeping at Audubon, where they remained about three years, then moved to Manning, where they spent the remainder of her life. She leaves a husband, four children, a mother, eight sisters and four brothers to mourn her loss. She was a loving wife, affectionate mother, and a kind neighbor, always ready to lend a helping hand in sickness or trouble.

She will be greatly missed in the church where she always took an active part; but most of all in her own home where she took delight in keeping everything bright and cheerful for those she loved.

She was buried from the M.E Church where a large number of friends together with six of her sisters and two brothers, were gathered tor a last look at the sister, friend and neighbor that they all so much loved.

Note: Her husband was born May 1, 1854 and died December 22, 1927. He is buried in Stone Cemetery, Faulkner County, Arkansas.

From the 1887 Carroll County history
William James Morrow is a son of William and Mary Ann Morrow. They lived on a farm in Guernsey County, Ohio, from 1848 to 1866, and then came to Linn County, Iowa, where Mr. Morrow died in 1873, and Mrs. Morrow in 1877. They were the parents of ten children, five of whom are now living.
The subject of this biographical notice was born in Guernsey County, Ohio, May 1, 1854, and on account of his father being an invalid for six years before his death, William was not able to attend school after his fourteenth year. He had almost sole charge of the farm for eight years. He then cultivated a farm in Cass County for three years, after which he removed to Audubon to engage in the agricultural implement business.
In the spring of 1880 he went to Bayard, where he was similarly engaged for one year. Selling out at that place, he followed the same business at Manning until May 20, 1886, since when he has given his time to the conduct of the News.
Mr. Morrow was married January 10, 1879, to Miss Loraine Green, of Atlantic. They have four children: Ralph Dale, Grover Glen, Flora Fay and Fitz Ward.
Mr. Morrow is a Mason. He has been secretary of the Manning Union Fair and Driving Park Association since its organization in August 1882, is foreman of the hose team of Manning, has served as councilman of the town, was appointed mayor in the autumn of 1886 to fill the unexpired term of W.F. Carpenter, and in the same autumn was chosen justice of the peace, which office he now fills.
