Plattsburg Leader - 26 Dec 1902 - Page 5.
"Uncle Billie Morrow departed this life Friday, Dec. 16, 1902, at three p.m. at the age of 89 years, 9 months, and 20 days." [note that Friday was Dec. 19, and paper was Dec. 26, so it's less likely the death was more than a week before.]
Deceased was born in North Carolina in 1813, and at the age of 9 years moved to Kentucky with his mother, his father having died when William was two years old. His first wife preceded him to an unknown world, leaving him with five children, which also have died since.
In September 1855 he was married to Amanda Swearingen, of Clinton County, and to this union were born 11 children, 8 of which are still living...."
