MRS. MARY J. MORGAN
Mary Jane McStay was born in Steuben County, New York, September 21, 1844 & died at her home in WaKeeney, April 25, 1923, aged 78 years, 7 months & 4 days. At the age of thirteen years she came with her parents to Blackhawk County, Iowa.
She was married July 5, 1862 to Francis Marion Morgan. In the spring of 1872 they moved to Portlandville, Plymouth County, Iowa, where they resided until September 1885, when they came to Kansas & located on a farm ten miles southwest of WaKeeney. They lived there until October 1905 when they moved to WaKeeney, where Mrs. Morgan has resided since then.
The husband died November 17, 1905. Two son's, William Sherman & Frank Llyod, died during the summer of 1904. Five children survive, Mrs. Nettie Mattingly, Edward L. Morgan, Mrs. Bertha Wollner & Rex J. Morgan, all of WaKeeney, & J. E. Morgan of Arkansas City, Kansas. Also seventeen grandchildren survive.
Mrs. Morgan was a member of the Presbyterian church. She was a good woman, very industrious & faithfully devoted to her family. She & Mrs. Swiggett were very dear friends, & Mrs. Swiggett's death was a deep grief to her. Her own serious illness began very soon after. For many weeks she had been unable to speak, confined to her bed, waiting for the end. As we think of her lingering on the border of life, conscious
of some things, thinking thoughts she could not express, one phase of the phalmist comes to mind, "The Valley of the Shadow of Death" & her parting as a relief from suffering.
The funeral services were conducted from the home Friday afternoon & the body was buried in WaKeeney cemetery beside that of her late husband. The services were conducted by the Rev. Heizer of the Presbyterian church. The relatives & friends who were here from out of town who were here to attend the funeral were were Mrs. Dave Yoder & Mrs. Nellie Gregwire of Ellis, & Mrs. Hazel Solberg, of Little River, a grandaughter of Mrs. Morgan.
