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 from infancy, he could not play as other boys, and his mind turned to other sources of amusements. 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. A younger [sic] brother, a colonel in the army, died a few years ago in California [sic][From the transcriber: "Col. John C. Morrow, 1839-1896, died at the Soldiers Home at Minnehaha Falls, MN, not in California as reported by both newspapers"]. Mr. Morrow was buried Tuesday, services being held at the house at 1:30 p.m., conducted by Rev. Crawford.
