Morgan - Phoebe Dunbar - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Mrs. William W. Morgan died Sunday morning at 2:15 o’clock at the family home on East Market Street. She had been in failing health for some time, being afflicted with heart trouble, but as late as Saturday afternoon the attendant physicians were inclined to believe that she would survive the attack. As night came on, however, she grew worse and finally passed peacefully away as though falling asleep. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the residence. The service was conducted by Dr. E. B. Thomson and the interment took place at Oak Hill Cemetery.

Mrs. Morgan’s maiden name was Phoebe J. Dunbar and she was the daughter of Andrew and Sarah Dunbar, being born in Decatur County, this state, fifty years ago the first day of next November. On November 22, 1871, she was married to Mr. Morgan, and their happy life together was passed in this city. Two children were born to them, both of whom are now living, Harry Morgan of this city and Mrs. Mary Brewer of New York. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan also raised a third child, not their own, Bert Morgan, who is a member of Company M and who arrived Monday evening. Besides her husband and children, Mrs. Morgan leaves her aged mother, now 90 years old. Mrs. Morgan was one of the best known women of Crawfordsville and certainly one of the most loved and respected. Her life was a busy one and her devotion to her family was a beautiful example. Her nature was kindly and her life was lovely, replete with good works and a very precious memory to those who knew her. - thanks "S"
