Early Missouri pioneer tn 1832 to what became in 1859 Cristian county, created in part from 1833 created Greene county.

That known as Morrow Mill following World War II was, according to the 1955 article in Carthage Press by Ward L Schrantz. First built on left bank of Spring river in 1848, about two and one half miles upstream from what became Carthage, Jasper county, Missouri by Washington Woodrum when he built a dam across the river with a mill trace on left bank. Indians would trade for finished product, camping near by, feeding off of neighbors crops and livestock. Many others having later ownership, such as a Mr Johnson in 1860 and operated by Thomas Glass early part of Civil War, serving both confederate and union troops. When it burnt, a new structure was built on old foundation. During reconstruction era it became McDaniel Mill, operated by Francis McDaniel with nephew Samuel Oscar Morrow (1854-1934) in 1877 working their, finally inheriting it. 1884 Samuel Oscar Morrow operated it under name Morrow-Kidder Mill, but when his son Samuel Roy Morrow (1886-1958) (son William given the lumber yard business in Carthage), a veteran of WW I, once an engineer at Missouri Public Service joined him, the name Kidder was dropped. Following W W II, S R Morrow's sons returned from serving in the military, "Sam", Samuel Roy Morrow, jr (1920-2010) in Navy, "Joe", Joseph Monnig Morrow (1923-2004) in Marines and "Tom", Thomas Homer Morrow (1924-2006) in Navy, became active in the mill's operation until 1976 when it was sold, "Tom", staying on with the new owners who shut it down in 1978, then a fire in 1981 destroyed all but the concrete elevators, now this mill that serviced the areas Indians and people for 130 years, through four, possibly five, family generations now no longer exists except in the minds of some of the older generation and history books.
