History of Lycoming County Pennsylvania
edited by John F. Meginness; �1892Sabin H. Burrows, pioneer furniture manufacturer and founder of the business which bears his name, died in February, 1912. He was identified with the history of Picture Rocks for more than half a century, coming here when it was little more than a wilderness, with one house, a barn, and a saw mill, and watching and helping in its growth until it became the thriving borough it is today, with several prosperous establishments, chief amoung which is the furniture manufacturing establishment of Burrows Brothers Company, of which he is the senior member.
The life history of Sabin H. Burrows is largely the history of Picture Rocks. He was born in Susquehanna county, Pa., Feb. 16, 1834, the son of Amos and Mary (Melhuish) Burrows.
In 1846 he removed to Picture Rocks with his father and began work in the sash and blind factory which his father and A. R. Sprout had established. The families of Mr. Sprout and Amos Burrows were the first to actually settle in the place. Both moved into the same house, the only one there at that time, and became the founders of the town of Picture Rocks. John Tice, one of the original owners of the land, had built a small saw mill, but it had been standing idle for several years until purchased by Sprout and Burrows and a sash, door, and blind factory started. This was the first window sash factory in the county, and when a few years later Sabin H. Burrows began the manufacture of furniture he was the pioneer in this industry in the county. At the time of his death he was one of the oldest furniture manufacturers in the state. His factory is said to have been the first to turn out a complete bed room suite. Ten years after Sabin Burrows began the manufacture of furniture his father became a partner, which business connection continued until the death of the latter. Later on his brothers were interested in the business with him, and still later his sons became partners.Mr. Burrows was married in 1855 to Mary Lockard, who died in 1906. They had two sons: C. Walter, father of the subject of this sketch; and Judson H., both live at Picture Rocks. Mr. Burrows was married the second time in 1908 to Harriet B. Judson, of Philadelphia, who survives him.
At four years of age and after the death of this mother, he [Charles] was raised by a man named Yocum, living at Bear Gap (near Shamokin, Union County), Pennsylvania and remained there eleven years. In the 1840 census (Pennsylvania, Northumberland, Shamokin), none of the four men named Yocum had a male 5-10 years of age living with them and only one, Michael, had a male under five years of age.
Meanwhile his father had remarried and settled at Milton (Union County) initially. Charles longed to be with his father, and when about 16 years of age, he secured the consent of Yocum to visit his father, and never returned to Bear Gap. (In the 1850 census for Pennsylvania, Lycoming, Montoursville Charles is listed with the Barrett family. His father purchased a canal boat and put Charles and his brothers John and William to boating. Charles was industrious and became owner of his boat within a few years. After eight years of boating, he started westward and joined a party of gold hunters bound for Pike's Peak, Colorado. Upon reaching the central part of Nebraska, his party met hundreds of gold seekers returning discouraged , and the trip was abandoned. He retraced his way as far as Salt Creek, near the present city of Lincoln, where he purchased a claim and cabin.
He met and married his wife there; she was the oldest daughter of his neighbor. In 1862 he let his farm and returned to Pennsylvania with his wife and daughter, and remained four years. A second daughter was born at Montoursville and a son was born at Selinsgrove, Snyder County. They again moved west, settling near Rochester Missouri where a second son was born. Meanwhile the Indians had become troublesome in Nebraska and both he and his father-in-law sold their holdings near the village of Saltille.
In 1872 he finally settled at Winslow, DeKalb, Missouri where two more daughters and one more son were born. Charles conducted a general store and served as postmaster of Winslow for more than 30 years when that post office was discontinued.
