Today I will be talking about my great grandmother Bishop Emma Morrow. She was a mother of 6. She had 16 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild. She was the pastor of Calhoun city church for 23 years. She started her life journey on August 6, 1945. She passed on May 10, 2016. In 1962 she married the late Bobby Traylor unto this union six children were born. April 16, 1976, Bishop Morrow was united in holy matrimony to Marion Morrow. Even though she was busy doing God’s work Bishop Morrow started her own business “EM-J designs”. She was a skillful seamstress. She made pillows, tablecloths, curtains, floral arrangements, and other home decoration items. Bishop Morrow had many other outstanding accomplishments in other areas including writing and directing plays, playing piano for many different churches, teaching youth Sunday school in tupelo, being a street evangelist for over thirty years, and being a talented songwriter. She wrote the song “Jesus will take care of me”. Last but not least, she loved going shopping at the thrift store.
