Obit for Rozzel Morrow – published November 9, 1917
In the passing of Mr. Morrow, Tekamah loses one of the most esteemed citizens; although Mr. Morrow had past his three score years and ten, yet he was a young man in spirit and active as a man of forty years. He was a close student of political economy and took much interest in national and state affairs. Mr. Morrow had rare musical talent and became an expert on the fife while in the army, and at the grand review in Washington, in 1865 he won the prize for having the best drum corp. After he became a resident of Burt County, he maintained what was known as the "Morrow Drum Corp" which was composed mostly of his sons, and was a feature at all public gatherings for many years. Recently when contingents of the Burt County boys were leaving for the training camps, Mr. Morrow headed the processions to the trains with his fife and drum corp, rendering patriotic airs with all his youthful vigor. Mr. Morrow enlisted in the Home Guards when organized this fall and drilled with the boys every night. He was a fine character.
