Among the best-known and successful farmers of St. Francis County is L. Small
Morgan, of near Round Rock, who came to this county 31 years ago to take over
the interests of his brother, J. E. Morgan. The Morgan farm, now including more
than 800 acres of the rich alluvial soil of the St. Francis River Valley near
Round Pond, originally was part of the old Belmorbry Farm, which was jointly
owned and operated by the late J. E. Morgan and the late Mr. Belshe, who
dissolved their partnership. On Jan. 10, 1923, L. Small Morgan moved to St.
Francis County to join his brother and to finally purchase the entire Morgan
Farm, which he still owns and operates. Mr. Morgan was born at Winona,
Mississippi, the son of Edward Livingston and Lillian (Thompson) Morgan. He came
to St. Francis Co. from Chicago, Illinois, after spending his boyhood days at
Winona. On Dec. 25, 1933, he married Miss Katherine Devereux, daughter of
Stephen Alfred and Hugh Ella (Hamilton) Devereux of the Newcastle community, and
to this union has been born a daughter. Mrs. Morgan is a member of the Delphian
Club in Forrest City. The Morgans are members of the Round Pond Methodist
Church. Mr. Morgan also belongs to the St. Francis County Farm Bureau. They
raise cotton and soybeans other diversified crops in a progressive manner.
