New Castle News, April 16, 1913
George V. Morrow died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. 
George F. McConnell, 1308 Cunningham avenue, Saturday 
morning, April 12. He had been ill only since Wednesday of 
this week, having suffered a stroke at that time. Mr. Morrow 
was born October 1, 1832, being 80 years old last October. 
He was a son of the late Adam and Cathryne Morrow of Wayne 
township. He was born and spent his life in Lawrence County, 
being a blacksmith in his earlier days, and residing on his 
farm near Moravia for several years.  He helped to build the 
Moravia Presbyterian Church, and was one of its first 
elders.  He has been a member of the Central Presbyterian 
church since he has lived in New Castle. He was married in 
1867 to Miss Margaret McConahy, who died March 15, 1893. Mr. 
Morrow is survived by three children and five grandchildren. 
The children are Mrs. James P. Book of Rose Stop in Shenango 
township, Charles L. Morrow of Freedom, and Mrs. George F. 
McConnell of Cunningham avenue, at whose home he died. He 
also leaves one brother, Charles Morrow of Moravia. Funeral 
services will be held Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock at the 
residence and interment will be made at Slippery Rock.

The funeral of G. V. Morrow took place yesterday morning, 
services being held at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. 
George McConnell, 1308 Cunningham avenue. Rev. A. B. 
McCormick, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, was in 
charge of the service.  The pallbearers were Samuel 
Crawford, Frank Morrow, Charles Wilkison, David Ritchie, 
Robert Wilkison, and Charles Hopper. Interment was made in 
Slippery Rock Cemetery.

Additional Comments:
Originally submitted May 2004. Mrs. James P. Book was my 
great-grandmother, Sierra Nevada Morrow.  Mrs. George F. 
McConnell was Matilda Gertrude Morrow. Charles L. Morrow, 
his son, was married to Ada Riddle. The five grandchildren 
mentioned would probably have been Margaret Annetta Book (my 
grandmother), Marybelle Book, Georgianna McConnell, 
Frederick McConnell, and Samuel Morrow.  Charles Morrow, his 
brother, was married to Matilda A. McConahy, sister of 
George's wife, Margaret. Pallbearers were his nephew, Frank 
R. Morrow, son of Charles Morrow; David Ritchie, likely a 
brother of Emeline Ritchie, wife of Frank R. Morrow; Charles 
and Robert Wilkison,  who was probably related to his wife's 
sister, Rachel, who married Samuel Wilkison/Wilkinson; and 
Charles Hopper, son of his niece, Susan Morrow Hopper. 
Charles' mother was Cathrine Van Eman, daughter of Nicholas 
Van Eman, Jr. and his first wife, Catherine Riddle.
