Morgan, passed peacefully away in death at her home at 1420 Vermont at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The deceased had been in poor health for the past and last summer spent the season at the seashore with the family of her nephew, Mr. George Wells. She seemed somewhat improved on her return home, but gradually grew weaker with the approach of cooler weather and the end came very quietly. Many who know Mrs. Morgan will grieve for her as a friend of kindly impulses, sweet disposition and gentle manners. At the time of death she was 74 years of age. The deceased was a pioneer of Quincy and when in a reminiscent moos could tell tales of much interest concerning the trails and vicissitudes of life in the early days of our city.The was the youngest daughter of the late Capt. Robert Evans of Massachusetts, and was native of that state. June 14, 1860, she was married to James D. Morgan who preceded her in death in September, 1896, a little over a year ago. She was the second wife of Gen. Morgan, and late Mrs. Edward Wells was her only sister. A nephew, George Wells, and two nieces, Mrs. Ella Wells Smith and Miss Kate Wells, all of this city, survive her. Since the close of the summer Mrs.Morgan had made her home with Miss Wells, previous to this having occupied the old Wells and Morgan homestead at 421 Jersey street. Mrs. Morgan was a member of the Unitarian Church in this city and was associated actively with much good work done by the women of that congregation. Her death will cause sorrow to the members to whom she was near and dear. Submitted: 08/02/08
