James T. Morgan

An old and Respected Citizen called to rest

        Mr. James Taylor Morgan, after an illness of several days, peacefully
passed into the great beyond, late Saturday afternoon Jan. 17.  He had
been ______ for quite awhile, the ravages of age beginning to show fast
in his latter days.  Eighty-two mile stones had been passed, a long
distance.  A good old age.  When the summons came he was ready and
willing to go, bowing without a murmur to the will of his maker.  Mr.
Morgan was born in Oldham county, but spent most of his life in
Trimble.  His entire life was spent in the noble occupation, farming. 
Early in life he was united in marriage with Mrs. Ann Burkes.  The
venerable wife survives him.  Had he lived until February they would
have celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage the "gold
wedding" that so few are permitted to celebrate.  To this union five
children were born, four of whom survive.  They are Mrs. Bettie Burrows,
of near Abbott, this county, Mrs. Mollie Bicknell, of Henry county, Mrs.
Millie Givens of Texas, and W. B. Morgan, of Bedford.
        Mr. Morgan was a consistent member of the Baptist church, being very
attentive upon the ordinances of his chosen denomination.
        The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the residence of his son,
W. B. Morgan, a large concourse of relatives and friends following all
that was mortal of the departed to the final resting place.
        The pall-bearers, all nephews of the deceased, were as follows: W. C.
Morgan, J. F. Morgan, Lucian Morgan, C. R. Morgan, A. S. Morgan and
_____Morgan.  Rev. W. F. Wyatt conducted the services at the home and
tenderly bade farewell to thusband and father as they left him to sleep
in peace among the silent slumberers in the city of the dead.
