She was the daughter of Philip and Lucy Pond and was born Aug. 14, 1847 in Rutland, Dane County, where she lived until she was ten years old, when her parents moved to a farm in Union, Rock County. She was married to Joel W. Morgan April 26th, 1868 and lived on a farm in Rutland for sixteen years. Then came to Evansville and for 41 years this city has been her home. She united with the Baptist church of Union in 1865 and later with the First Baptist church of this city and for sixty years was a loyal devoted consistent member. For more than fifty years she was especially interested in the Sunday school work of the church and was always either a Bible teacher of Superintendent of the school. She was teaching her class the Sunday she was stricken down, and was never again permitted to attend the services of the church. Two years ago she was also interested in the schools of the city and for several years was a member of the board of education. She is survived by her husband, J. W. Morgan and two children, Miss Cora Morgan of Madison, and Chester Morgan of Brooklyn and two grandchildren. Funeral services were held from the home Sunday afternoon, March 1, with burial in Maple Hill cemetery. Rev. F. W. Gales, pastor of the Baptist church officiating, assisted by Rev. A. W. Stephens of Campbellsport, Wis. The pall bearers were Guy Barnard, Earnest Clifford, Harry Spooner, B. A. Meyers, Fred Franklin and E. C. Carey. The community loses a respected citizen in her, the church a faithful worker and the pastor a wise councilor and the family a devoted member.
