Dr. William F. Morrow, one of the rising physicians of Conway County,
resides at Solgohachia. He was born in Van Buren County, this State,
December 26, 1854. His parents were George W. and Sarah (Jones)
Morrow, who were both natives of Tennessee. In this family there were
eight other children besides our subject and of these, four are living
at the present time. William F. Morrow was a farmer by occupation, and
at a very early day emigrated to Arkansas, and settled in Van Buren
County, where he resided until his death. During his lifetime he was a
man who lent ready assistance to all measures which promised to
improve the community of his home. He was a Royal Arch Mason, and both
he and his worthy wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. He departed this life in 1861, and was followed by his wife to
her eternal home in 1864. Our subject, thus early in life thrown on
his own resources, secured most of his literary education at
Springfield, Conway County. He studied medicine at Little Rock, and in
May, 1889, commenced the practice of his profession at Solgohachia. He
was married on December 10, 1876, to Miss Olivia Carroll, who also
claims Arkansas as her native State. To this union have been born five
children: Georgie A., Arby M., Orber F. (deceased), Willie A., and one
who died in infancy. In connection with the pactice of his profession,
our subject is an extensive farmer, owning over 300 acres of good
land, with 100 acres under cultivation. He is also an active,
enterprising citizen, and is always identified with those enterprises
which promise to promote the county's good. He and his excellent wife
are both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
