Vet. ******************************************************************************************* H. P. MORROW married Rosa Anna FERGUSON on November 26, 1874 at Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa ***************************************************************************************** HUGH P. MORROW, a farmer residing on section 12, of Allen Township, came to Harrison County in the spring of 1856, in company with his parents, who first located in Raglan Township purchasing about 500 acres of wild land, which his father commenced breaking and generally improving. They built a house by setting posts in the ground and thatched the roof, and built stables and shedding in the same way. The sides of the house were made of sawed unedged boards, while the cracks between were filled with chopped hay and mud. Our subject was born in Toronto, Canada, March 17, 1844, and remained with his parents until he was twenty years of age, when he went to Colorado and enlisted in Company M., Third Colorado Cavalry. He was mustered in at Denver, and was in the frontier service 110 days, when he was taken sick and discharged. He returned to Iowa and worked on his father's farm one year and a half and then went to St. Louis, to the Academy of Christian Brothers, remaining there six months after which he returned to Iowa and went railroading. He was in a supply store and worked in Nebraska, Iowa and Texas, remaining with the company about seven years. His father had given him a quarter section of wild land, three miles south of the town of Little Sioux, and he returned to this land, which was on the Missouri Bottom, and improved it, remaining there one year, after which he bought the farm he now occupies, disposing of the other in forty-acre lots as he could. His present farm, which consists of 320 acres of prairie land, had no improvements, so he at once set about to subdue it from its wild state. He broke, fenced and set out a grove, and built a house 18 x 26 feet, with a wing 16 x 20 feet, together with numerous outbuildings, and a good well utilized by means of wind power.
