MORGAN.
tal .otI
gence of the death of Frederick NJ. Nor
gan at his home in Denver, Colorado, on
Sunday, June lst, 1913, was received here
Monday by his brother, James X. Nor
gan. The message gave no particulars
further than to say the funeral would be
held from his late home on Tuesday. 1t
had been known tor some time that Mr..
Morgan was in delicate health, yet the
announcement of his passing away was
quite unexpected and has saddened the
hearts of many Tionesta friends where
the deceased had passed many years of
his younger life and where he was al
ways popular.
Mr.. Morgan was born in Emlenton,
Pa, about 5I years ago and was the
youngest of a family Of l5 children of the
late George and Elizabeth Morgan, four
OF whom survive, Mrs. Sarah KeatiDg of
Pittsburg, George Morgan living in Ohio,
James r. of Tionests. and VIM. +. Morgan
of Syracuse, N. Y. In the late COS Fred
came to Tionests with the family and il
was here his boyhood days were spent.
When yet vigorous young man he met
with an accident which affected his spine
and incspactated him for much manual
labor, but his falling strength never de-
prived him of his indomitable will and
ambition which proved his strength and
reliance in the years which followed, and
which brought him success in business
activities. After couple of years spent
at Bolivar, n. Y, he transferred his in
terests to Oil City. where he engaged in
mercantile pursuits about the year 1886,
in which he was very successful and in
which city he still held property interests
up until his death. Failing health COM
PEELED him to seek more congenial cli-
mate and about 10 years ago he moved to
Denver which had since been his home,
and where he had been successfully en-
gagged in the hardware business.
1t was while living in Oil City that he
was united in marriage with Miss Della
Nsylor, who, with two daughters, Mil
dred and Elizabeth, survive. His devo-
tion to his family and to the church of his
faith, the Baptist, was ever steadfast and
loyal, and 1t was in the service of these
that he found his greatest joy and com
fort. And ii can truthfully be said that
this devotion, love and loyalty was ar
IDENTIFY reciprocated by the faithful wife
and children, who never wsvered in
tteir solicitude for the ease aud comfort
of husband and father.
In all his list of cquaintanceships the
writer has never known a morally better
man, one who more nearly measured up
to the standard of the ideal Christian
gentleman, than he. Kind, generous,
genial, just and sympathetic Fred. we
shall miss him as few others who might
have been taken. Peaceful be thy rest.
