Conrad Hawkins Morrow was born in Rush county, Indiana, in 1849, and in 1850
he came to Wabash county with his father, Charles Greer Morrow, who
settled west of Wabash in what was known as Frog Pond. Conrad Hawkins Morrow
was one of the eleven children of his parents, all of whom reached
years of maturity. His father lived all the remaining years of his life
on the Wabash county farm that became his home in 1850, and he made
of the place a most creditable and productive spot. The buildings that
he erected there when he first came into ownership were later replaced
by new and more modern constructions by his son, Conrad H. Morrow,
the first ones being destroyed. Conrad H. Morrow was educated in
Liberty township, under the tutelage of Captain Williams for the most
part, he being a well known educator of that time and place. Later the
young man took up farming, and he continued in that work for a good
many years, though always on a rented farm. In more recent years he
has been engaged as a member of the La Fontaine police force and town Marshall. He married
Joan Howard, as has already been stated, and the children born to
them were named as follows: Garl, of this review; John H., who married
Mary E. Sparks; Howard died in infancy; Irene married Charles
Stevens, and lives at Fairmount, in Grant county; Daisy married Herman
Snyder and lives at Marion; Vesta became the wife of Hubert Piety,
of Wabash; Ida died at the age of seventeen years.
