Obit for Dr. Wren Morrow
This community was deeply grieved when the news of the passing of Dr. Wren Morrow became known to our citizens for had had made a wonderful fight after several months of acute illness. Born of pious, industrious parents, and reared under Christian influences, he early dedicated himself to God, and his whole life was only onward and upward, and in the practice of his chosen profession he won the esteem of this community by his daily living and devotions to principle.
Wren Morrow was born at Murray, Nebraska, January 26, 1882, and departed this life, November 18, 1926, at the age of 44 years, 9 months and 22 days.
In 1894 he came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rozzel Morrow to Burt County and his early boyhood was spent in Riverside precinct where in the companionship of his father, a man of rare musical talents, he with his brothers, and near neighbors, formed what was known as the Morrow Drum Corps. Beloved and revered by the boys of the Grand Army of the Republic and W.R.C. and the pioneers of this county, they appeared at almost all public affairs, and his pure patriotism, like his faith in God, dominated his whole life. After attending the county school he went to the Fremont College receiving the Degrees of Bachelor of Science and Pharmaceutical Graduate. Going to Cincinnati, Ohio, he entered the medical college where on May 30, 1916, he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine, after which he returned to Nebraska where he has continuously practiced his profession until he was forced through illness to retire. He, with his brother, Dr. Lawrence Morrow, came to Tekamah in the autumn of 1922, taking over the Fraternity hospital which they have continued to conduct.
Early in life he united with the Riverside Baptist church and continued to be a member until his death. He was also a member of the Seward Masonic Lodge A.F. & A.M. and of Omaha Consistory, being a Scottish Rite Mason. He was united in marriage March 27, 1917, to Marselleine A. Reeves of Bethany, Nebraska, who passed away March, 1919, leaving him one son, Thomas Reeves Morrow, a lad of only 9 years to whom the sympathy of the whole community is extended and also to the aged mother, Mrs. Adella Morrow, and four sisters, Mrs. G.L. Grothe, Anna, Lillian and Hazel Morrow, and two brothers, Edmon and Dr. Lawrence Morrow, besides many relatives and friends. The funeral service was held on Saturday afternoon from the Methodist church where a most representative gathering of citizens assembled to pay their last tribute of respect. Rev. G.A. Bolas of Omaha, former M.E. Pastor here and close friend, officiated and pronounced a most beautiful and fitting eulogy. He was assisted by Rev. H.H. Gunderson of the Baptist church and Rev. McKenzie of the Methodist church. Mrs. James Clark and Mr. Will Langley of Decatur sang most effectively two hymns. The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful. The Masonic fraternity conducted their ritualistic service at the cemetery, H.N. Marsh, officiating, as Worshipful Master. The pallbearers were: J.A. Singhuas, A.R. Kokes, E.I. Ellis, F. E. Erickson, Henry Balder and C.G. Norseen.
Those from a distance who were in attendance at the obsequies were: Misses Viola Hipp and Amy Davies of Lyons, Nebr., Mr. and Mrs. James Swope, Oakland, Iowa, Dr. J. Morrow, Dr. B.E. Morrow and Mrs. Effie Banning, Seward, Nebr. Mr. and Mrs. Troy Davis of Weeping Water, Nebr. Mrs. Ed Drake, Modale, Iowa, Mrs. Fannie Kurdsen and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shaw of Council Bluffs, Iowa.
"Heaven is richer and from His Heart
There is a silver cord, which reaches from earth
to heaven and back to earth again.
Upon this silver cord Angeles chant their eternal anthems.
One and all."
