   GEORGE M. MORROW is one of those whose life, in a local sense, has more than the usual interest attaching to it, from the fact of his life-long residence in Jefferson County, and he is one who has reaped the full measure of the development that has characterized his native county.
   
   He was born in Elyton, Alabama, the 20th of August, 1846. His father, Hugh Morrow is a native of Warren County, Kentucky and came to Alabama when quite a young man, and settled in Jefferson County, and is still enjoying a vigorous and hearty old age at his home, near Trussville. The mother of the subject of this sketch, Margaret Holmes, is a native Alabamian, and, like her husband, is still living at a very advanced age, though her years rest lightly upon her.
   
   George Morrow received his early education in the common schools of his native county, and until sixteen years old attended school at Elyton, where he enlisted in the Confederate service in 1863, in Company F, Seventh Alabama Cavalry, and served with it until the winter of 1864, and was then transferred to the famous cavalry brigade under command of General Joseph Wheeler, and while serving in this command was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant, maintaing himself by gallant and faithful conduct in this position until the great struggle, the like of which has rarely been paralleled in the history of nations, was brought to a close. When he returned home he attended school one year at Elyton, and then began the regular study of medicine, under Dr. Joseph R. Smith. This study was kept up by young Morrow for one year, and he then attended the Miami Medical College, of Cincinnati, Ohio, until his graduation in the spring of 1868, and at once began the active practice of the profession at Asheville, remaining there until 1871, when he came to Elyton, and practiced there until 1878. From this time dates the most momentous step of his whole life, as from it came the most responsible and extended relations in which he had hitherto been an actor. It proved to him the flood-tide that led on to fortune. It was in this year that he came to Birmingham, and in company with Dr. F. D. Nabers embarked in the wholesale and retail drug business. This has always been, and still is, Birmingham's most extensive and most successful drug house, and no better evidence of the business merit of the firm, personally and individually, could be asked. Dr. Morrow has been an ardent believer from the beginning in this city's destiny, and showing his faith by his works has reaped an abundant harvest, which, as the years speed by, goes on, increasing in an enlarged and gratifying ratio.
   
   In personal characteristics he is noted for the kindness of heart, the simplicity and cordiality of manner, the sincerity of profession, and the unpretending warmth of friendship and frankness of conduct so characteristic of his whole stock.
   
   Dr. Morrow was first married in November, 1868, to Miss Mary E., daughter of Dr. Joseph and Mrs. Margaret Smith, of Elyton. To this union was born one child--Margaret J. Mrs. Morrow died in 1873.
   
   Dr. Morrow was married the second time in May, 1874, to Miss Susie, daughter of O. S. and Malinda Nabers Smith, also residents of Elyton. To this second marriage were born four children--Lucy O., Anna, Bertha, deceased, and George M., Jr.
   
   Dr. Morrow belongs to the Masonic Fraternity, and is Master of Birmingham Lodge, No. 384, and is also Grand Junior Warden of the Grand Lodge of Alabama, and besides, is a member of the Elyton Chapter.
   
   Both himself and Mrs. Morrow are members of the Baptist Church.
