Obituary of William Henry Morgan

25 October 1939, Clark County (IL) Democrat


William Henry Morgan, the son of Edward and Margaret Morgan, was born
in Melrose Township, on March 15, 1856, and departed this life at the
Paris hospital, October 17, 1939, aged 83 years, 7 months, and 2 days.

In 1875 he was united in marriage to Manday Shaffner.  To this union
was born one son, Bert Morgan, who still survives.  The wife preceded
him in death.

On November 28, 1886 he was married to Margaret Reed Hall.  Seven girls
and one boy came to bless this union.  Also two stepdaughters, one of
whom preceded him in death.  The bereaved widow and all the children
survive.

He was converted and batized under the ministry of the Rev. Frank
Kettering at the Potter's Hall United Brethren church.  He liked church
and in his later years has often dropped in at the services at the
Holiness church.

He was a good provider, and father, and was well liked throughout the
community.  He was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in
need.  His life was like the poet stated, "Let me live by the side of
the road and be a friend to man."

Mrs. Edna Nightlinger, of Gary, Ind., Fred Morgan, Marshall, Mrs.
Goldie Sykes, Yuba City, California, Mrs. Chas. McGlanden, Marshall,
