Brunswick, Ga., May 28.—(Special.)—Henry Morgan, colored, steward for President Plant, of the railway system, is dead and the funeral services being conducted over his remains demonstrate the feeling entertained toward him by his former employer and his people. The body was brought to Brunswick today in a private car. His widow came from New York to the funeral. Last night his remains were expected on the midnight train and some 200 people were present to meet them. Today the same number, headed by the colored Knights of Pythias, escorted the casket to his residence, where services, both religious and the Knights of Pythias, were held. At 4 o’clock the casket was taken to the depot under a large escort, where a special car awaited to carry the remains to Albany for interment. Morgan was wealthy and much liked by both white and colored.
