                     Morgan Cousins Meet for First Time
                                      
                                      
   Cleon and Lula Irvin, of Fresno, California, were on their way to
   Kentucky to do some family tree searching, when they decided to stop
   in Erick on September 20th.
   
   Lula Irvin was a Morgan. Her father was Clinton David Morgan, who was
   born in 1859 near Paducah, Kentucky, and died in 1926 in Stamford,
   Texas. Clint Morgan's brothers, WIlliam H. Morgan, and John B. Morgan,
   were early settlers of the Erick area.
   
   Cleon and Lula decided to see if there were any Morgans left in Erick,
   so they checked the phone book. They contacted Mrs. French (Mae)
   Morgan, and visited in her home. It was at Mae's home that they met
   Jewel Jarnagin, William H. Morgan's daughter and first cousin of Lula.
   
   After having a great time visiting, they spent the night with Jewel,
   and left the next day for Kentucky.
   
   Cleon and Lula hope to find more information in Kentucky on her
   grandparents, Daniel J. Morgan and Malinda Catherine Ransom Morgan. On
   their way back to California, they plan to go through Greenville and
   Wichita Falls, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, in search of more
   cousins.
