Russellville Rustler, Friday December 8, 1911 W. A. Morrow, for eighteen years a resident of Jefferson City, died suddenly in the elevator of the Madison Hotel at 11:30 Tuesday night, November 28th. Mr. Morrow was returning to his room from the Commercial Club banquet when he dropped down in the elevator and was dead when taken out. Heart failure was given as the cause of his death by physicians called as soon as they could be reached. Mr. Morrow had been the confidential stenographer for Governors Stone, Dockery, Stephens and Folk and was holding at the time of his death the position of clerk and stenographer in the office of State Treasurer Cowgill. He was forty-eight years of age and was known by public men all over the state. His remarkable ability for making friends and holding them was probably best shown in the fact that he was the confidential stenographer for four Governors, most of whom were antagonistic to another, yet Morrow held the confidence of each. Governor Dockery when appraised of his death came all the way from his home in Gallatin to attend his funeral which was held at his former home in Warrensburg last Friday under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of which he was a member. He leaves a wife who is the stenographer for the board of railroad commissioners.
