John MORROW, one of the most prominent educators in Allegheny county, died at his home at 3287 California Avenue, Allegheny, at 6 o'clock Monday morning, aged 79. He had suffered from malignant stomach trouble for some time. The members of his family wee at his bedside when the end came. Mr. MORROW was born on the old George ROBB farm, near Midway, Pa., June 18, 1835. His father was Alexander MORROW. He received his education in the public schools and in the Paris Academy of Washington county. He attended the Mansfield Academy at Mansfield, now Carnegie, Pa., and spent four years in the State Normal School at Millersville, Lancaster county, Pa., from which he was graduated in 1865. Mr. MORROW was one of the men who heard the address made by Abraham LINCOLN at Gettysburg, November 19, 1863, and until the time of his death was able to remember almost word for word the greater part of the memorable address. So close to the President was Mr. MORROW the day the address was delivered that he had often contradicted the statement that the President's address was written on a piece of untidy waste paper he had picked up in the car on his way from Washington to Gettysburg, and in an article written for an educational monthly Mr. MORROW gave a vivid description of the address delivered on the great battlefield an said he was close enough to the President throughout his talk to touch him had he desired. Mr. MORROW enlisted in WICKERSHAM's regiment of the Federal army in 1863 and was sent to the reserve corps at Gettysburg. He never took part in an actual battle, but served in the reserve corps until the close of the war when he as mustered out. He then returned to the Millersville Academy, where Co. WICKERSHAM was president. Mr. MORROW long had been actively identified with the education interests of Allegheny county, his first school being on the South Side. In 1868 he was elected principal of the old Forth Ward school, Allegheny, where he served in that capacity for 14 years. In 1882 he was elected superintendent of the Allegheny Public Schools and when the new school code was adopted he became an assistant district superintendent. In 1897 he married his brother's widow, who was Miss Serpta GILCHRIST of Keen, Ohio, before her first marriage. His administration as superintendent of schools of old Allegheny was quiet and unobtrusive. His work was noticeable especially for its closeness to the schools, his actual personal knowledge of teachers and pupils and the value of their work. He was unassuming in manners, easily approached and was familiarly known to teachers and pupils throughout the North Side for years as "Uncle John." This greeting was not confined to teachers and pupils, but all his associates and friends addressed him in the same manner. Within the last year the old Davis avenue school on the North Side was named the John MORROW School in honor of the educator. His pleasing personality won for him many friends and his cheery smile greeted any person who called at his office. Mr. MORROW leaves his widow, Serepta R. MORROW, and one brother, Alexander MORROW of Bellevue. He is also survived by four step-children, William A. MORROW of Edgewood, John R. MORROW at home; Hugh B. MORROW of New York, and Mrs. William BREITWEISER of Bellevue. The farm in North Fayette township on which William BERNHART resides was owned by Professor MORROW. The funeral services were held in the Eleventh U. P. Church on Wednesday afternoon. Interment was made in Robinson's Run cemetery. Louis ROHDIER, aged 72 years, a well-know French resident of this place died Thursday night, August 13, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Paul BASTIDE, in Valley street. Mr. ROHDIER was born in France and came to McDonald about 25 years ago. His wife has been dead for several years. Besides the daughter with whom he made his home, one son, Louis ROHDIER, Jr., and one daughter, Mrs. Adrian MONJOT, both of McDonald, survive. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the late home. The interment was in Hilldale cemetery. David Finley PATTERSON, aged 74, one of the most widely known members of the Allegheny county bar, died in Pittsburgh Monday evening, August 17. He was born in Crosscreek township, October 10, 1839, and was the son of James M. PATTERSON and Elizabeth WALKER PATTERSON, and the grandson of Gen. Thomas PATTERSON, founder of the Patterson mills, this county. After attending the public school in Washington county he entered Bethany college, from which he graduated July 4, 1859. He took up the study of law at Cincinnati Law School, and after his graduation there entered the office of William MONTGOMERY and was admitted to the Washington county bar May 15, 1865. At about that time he accepted the principalship of the Washington public schools and continued in that position for about four years. At the end of that time he actively took up the practice of law. He then formed a partnership with Boyd CRUMRINE here and continued his partnership with him until his removal to Pittsburgh in 1872. At the time of his admission to the Allegheny count bar he was counsel for ROBERTS the torpedo man who had very extensive interests and much patent litigation in the United States courts. Mr. PATTERSON, however, did not confine his labor to this branch of law, but became engaged in the general practice of law and soon acquired prominence and a large practice. He was possessed of a profound knowledge of law and pleading in Pennsylvania, and was highly gifted as an orator. During his career of nearly 40 years he held the respect of all courts, the bar and the public. He began to fail in health after an operation had been performed on his throat in July, 1906. He lost his voice shortly after that and had practices law only as an advisor till he was taken down by his last illness. Mr. PATTERSON leaves besides his widow, Mary G.
