   DR. EPHRAIM MORGAN, the second in a family of nine children, is a native of
Hamilton County, Ohio, his birth occurring September 22, 1826. He was reared in
his native county, and after receiving the benefits to be derived from the
neighborhood schools, completed his literary studies at the Ohio Farmers'
College in 1845, after which he began the study of medicine at Cleves, under the
advisement of Dr. A. G. Collier. In 1847, he entered the Ohio Medical College of
Cincinnati, graduating from that institution in the spring of 1850. He then
opened an office at Cleves, remaining there until 1853, when he came to Sullivan
County, Ind., where for about eight years he conducted a very large and
successful practice. In 1861, he located on his present farm, which consists of
200 acres of excellent land, where, in conjunction with farming, he has followed
his chosen profession, although during the past few years he has not confined
his labors so exclusively to medicine as heretofore. His marriage with Miss
Margaret E. Spencer was celebrated in Bartholomew County, Ind., in 1853, Mrs.
Morgan having been born in Clinton County, Ohio, in May, 1837, a daughter of
John R. and Mary (Hinxton) Spencer, both of whom were natives of the Buckeye
State. One son, Edgar A., and one daughter, Alice, have blessed their union, the
latter dying in infancy. Dr. Morgan is one of the leading citizens of Wright
Township, is a Democrat in politics, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Lewis Morgan, his father, was born at Bainbridge, Mass., in September,
1790, and was of Puritanic ancestors. In about 1810, he came to Hamilton County,
Ohio, and for a long time was mail carrier between Cincinnati and Dayton. In
1853, he settled in Curry Township, Sullivan Co., Ind., where he remained
engaged in farming until his death in October, 1882. She who became his wife and
the mother of Dr. Morgan was Sarah J. Wright, who was a native of Eastern
Maryland, and who died in Sullivan County, Ind., in July. 1883.
