  MATHEW T. MORROW, a substantial citizen of Blue Ball, Pa., who has been 
station agent at this point for the Pennsylvania Railroad for the last fifteen 
years, was born December 20, 1856, at Clearfield, Pa., and is a son of Henry 
Hayes and Amelia Jane (Forcey) Morrow.
  Henry Hayes Morrow was a lumberman during a part of his business life and 
later owned and conducted a general store at Shawsville, Pa.  He was a 
representative citizen of that place and was moderately active in politics, 
being identified with the Republican party.  He married Jane Forcey and they had 
the following children:  Mathew T.; E. H., who is engaged in the practice of 
medicine at Altoona; Margaret E., who is the wife of George W. Meyers; Grace S., 
who is the wife of Dr. D. E. Bottorf; and Ida J., who is the wife of D. R. 
Wooldridge.
  Mathew T. Morrow was educated in the common schools and at Williamsport 
Seminary, spending one year in this well known institution, after which he 
worked for his father in the lumber business until 1881, when he turned his 
attention to farming and continued agricultural pursuits until 1894, when he 
accepted his present position at Blue Ball.  He has invested in property here 
and is one of the town's leading citizens.
  Mr. Morrow was married in 1881 to Miss Alice Dimeling, a daughter of Jacob and 
Elizabeth (Sloan) Dimeling, who were then residents of Blue Ball, members of old 
county families.  Mrs. Morrow was an only child.  Mr. and Mrs. Morrow have one 
daughter, Amy S., who lives with her parents.  The family attends the 
Presbyterian church.  In politics Mr. Morrow is a Democrat.  He served 
acceptably as supervisor for one year, but otherwise has accepted no political 
office.
