T. B. Morrow, of the firm of Behrens & Morrow, lumber merchants, of
Buffalo, MO., was born in Benton (now Calhoun) County, Ala., January
2, 1842, and is a son of Robert and Elizabeth (Joiner) Morrow.  When
about two years of age he was taken to Greene County, MO., by his
father, and here the latter died about 1849, and he was reared to a
mercantile life by the Hon. William L. Morrow, whose sketch appears
in this work.  At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the 
State Militia, and afterward in the Fifteenth Missouri Volunteer 
Cavalry, and served until the close of the war, being mustered out
in 1865.  He was in Price's raid, but was in very few battles, being
quartered most of the time at Springfield, assisting in the quarter-
master's department.  After the war he returned to Buffalo, where he
remained in the mercantile business until 1872, when he was appointed
to the office of county clerk, and in 1874 was elected to the office,
the duties of which he filled until 1877, when he resigned and again
engaged in merchandising.  This occupation he continued to follow
until January, 1886, when he sold out and engaged in the lumber bus-
iness with H. J. Behrens.  They have conducted this business very
successfully, and handle an immense amount of lumber annually, the
firm being considered one of the most prosperous and enterprising in 
the county.  He was married in 1866 to Miss Mary A. Gammon, by whom
he has four children:  Lizzie, Etta, Queeny and one deceased.  Mr.
and Mrs. Morrow are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he
is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
