Should have been spelled MORROW JOSEPH MARROW The late Joseph Marrow was for many years one of the most prominent farmers of Raglan township, Harrison county, Iowa. His parents were among the very first settlers of the county and the family have been prominent factors in the development of Raglan township for nearly sixty years. Mr. Marrow was a life-long farmer, a public-spirited citizen and a man who was a valuable asset to the community in which he lived. Of sterling character and high ideals he lived such a life as to commend him to those with whom he was associated, and in all that goes to make the good American citizen, he stood high in the locality where he spent the years of his active life. Joseph Marrow was born in Canada, August 27, 1851, and died at his country home in Raglan township, Harrison county, Iowa, on the 15th day of July, 1884. His parents, Patrick and Elizabeth (Hasson) Marrow, were natives of Ireland and located in Canada before coming to the United States. In 1856 the family came to Harrison county, Iowa, and located in Raglan township, where Joseph Marrow later spent the most of his life. The family were driving through this county and stopped along the Soldier river to camp for the night. The scenery and the fertile land caused them to permanently locate in this county, and become its earliest pioneers. Joseph Marrow was about five years old when his parents settled in Raglan township. He was the sixth in order of birth of the ten children born to his parents. He received his education in the district schools of his boyhood days and helped his father with the work on the farm during his minority. After his marriage he moved to a farm south of the old homestead and lived there until after his father's death. He then moved on to the old home farm and bought land from time to time until at his death he was the owner of three hundred acres of land in the township. Devoting himself to general farming and stock raising he gradually became one of the substantial men of the township and left to his children an estate as a result of his unceasing industry. Mr. Marrow was married, November 14, 1875, to Sarah Stewart, who was born January 13, 1857, in Washington county, Ohio, and was a daughter of Hugh and Ann (McBride) Stewart. They were natives of County Antrim, Ireland, and came to this country before their marriage. In 1873 the Stewarts located in Harrison county, Iowa, and bought land in Magnolia township, where they lived the remainder of their lives. They were also the parents of ten children, of whom Mrs. Marrow was the sixth child born to her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Marrow reared a family of five sons, all of whom are still living, William, Maurice, Frank, Hasson and Joseph. William married Lottie Cross, and lives in Morgan township. He has three children, Stewart, Cecil and John. Maurice married Effie Phillips, and lives in Raglan township. Frank, Hasson and Joseph are still living with their mother on the old home farm in Raglan township. Mr. Marrow was a loyal member of the Catholic church, as are all the family. He was a Democrat, but never took an active part in political life. His sons are now following farming and are among the most progressive farmers of the township. Mr. Marrow was an ideal husband and father and lived such a life that his name will always be cherished by his children and honored by those who knew him.
