MORGAN News comes to COM
rades in Oskaloosa of the death OF
Doctor J. w. Morgan, of Moline, ILL.,,
an old soldier and a veteran of the
Fourteenth Iowa Regiment which was
part of the famous Hornets Nest
Brigade" which met in reunion in Os-
kaloosa Thursday and Friday, April
and 7, 1911. Doctor Morgan was
one of the shining lights of the re-
union and at that time was in excel
dent health and spirits. He was one
of the ablest speakers at the camp
and his talk, shiloh by Day and by
Night was one of the ablest of the
evenings program. The death of the
old physician and soldier will give
added interest to his talk which is
given in full In the pamphlet report
of the reunion which is now in press
and will soon be ready for distribu
ton to the members of the Brigade.
DR.. Morgan died of paralysis at his
home in Moline, H., where for years
he had been leading physician and
practitioner, prominent in social and
political life and only recently being
within few votes of being chosen
mayor of the city. He was born in

the night of May twenty.third, Broth.

key that opens the palace of eternity
Like a sheaf of grain, ripe for the
harvest, he has been gathered to the
Father. full of years and service.
Brother Baer had lived beyond the
allotted time of three score years and
ten! ..,
In life he was true to his country,
to his family and to himself, further
words would be meaningless, save to
extend our sympathy to the daughters
and relatives left behind But to
comfort sore hearts and bring sun
shine into dreary lives is not so easy
a task as some might believe. The
storms of life are much like those of
nature, coming at times so suddenly
and swiftly, SO terrible in their fury,
that when the clouds have passed
away and the sun shines again, it
shines upon the wreckage of some of
our sweetest and most cherished
treasures. For such losses there can
be no real, assured comfort aside
from a childlike abiding faith that
survives the grave and brings the
sweet assurance that somehow, some
where we will meet again.
'Heimgane So the German people
Whisper when they hear the bell
,Tolling from some gray old steeple,
Deaths familiar tale to tell.
When they hear the organ dirges
Swelling out from chapel dome
And the singers chanting surges,
'Heimgane. He is going home.
'Heimgane.' Quaint and tender saying
In the grand old German tongue,
That hath shaped Melacthon's praying
And the hymns that Luther sung.
Blessed is our loving Maker,
That where'er our feet shall roam,
Still we journey towards Gods acre
'Heimgane. Always going home.
'Heimgane.' We are all so weary,
And the willows as they wave,
Softly signing, sweetly dreary,
Woo us to the tranquil grave.
When the golden pitchers broken,
With its dregs and with it's foam,
And the tender words are spoken,
'Heimgane.' We are going home"

teachers are too poorly paid to enable
