IN ME MORI AM 



Willison W. Morrow, in his seventy-fifth year, died at his home in 

 Afton, Union County, Iowa, on the 25th day of April, 1922. 



The history of Iowa would be incomplete without the story of his 

 life. The merits of his true worth and manly qualities were discovered 

 in his early boyhood days. His nearest neighbors first learned to love 

 him because of these qualities, and soon his broadmindedness and 

 unselfish motives found a place in the hearts of the citizenship of Union

 it had his voice of sanction. 



He was elected from Union County as a member of the Twenty-third 

 and Twenty-fourth General Assemblies. He was director of the State 

 Agricultural Society from December, 1898 to July 4, 1900; a director of 

 the State Board of Agriculture from July 4, 1900 to December 10, 1902; 

 was president of the State Board of Agriculture from December 10, 1902 

 to December 12, 1906. He was elected treasurer of the state of Iowa' 

 in 1907 and served until 1913. On February 24, 1915, he was elected 

 treasurer of the State Board of Agriculture where he served until the 

 time of his death.

 impressed by his frank address; his straightforward manner of living; 

 and his plain confidence in the good fellowship of those with whom 

 he met. He loved a true heart, and discarded deceit and hypocrisy 

 wherever found. His was a sturdy character, surrounded by the most
