From Portrait and Biographical Album of Rock County Wis., publ. 1889, page 705 WILLIAM TAYLOR MORGAN, deceased, was born in Weston, Vt., Feb. 8, 1812, and was a son of Isaac MORGAN. There were four sons in his father's family. Sumner; Isaac P., who sketch appears elsewhere in this work; Thomas; and William T., our subject. Thomas was born in Weston, Vt., Nov. 20, 1809, and married Miss Deborah W. SOWLE. He was killed by a fall from his buggy, at Manchester, Mich., in June, 1877, and is survived by a widow and one of their five children - Caroline, wife of Mark WALLACE, a resident of Manchester. In early life William MORGAN learned the shoemaker's trade, and when nineteen years of age joined his brother Thomas in the shoemaking business at Allen's Hill, N.Y. In 1835 he came to the West, locating at Manchester, Mich., where in that year he was united in marriage with Miss Abbey A. SOWLE, who was born in Chenango County, N.Y., and is a daughter of James and Abbey (DILLINGHAM) SOWLE; the former a native of Dutchess County, and the latter of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. While residing at Manchester Mr. MORGAN engaged in the mercantile business, removing from that city in 1842, when he settled in Milton village, Rock County. Two years subsequent to that time he built the Du Lac Hotel, which he conducted for several years, and in 1861 erected the Morgan House, at Milton Junction. The same year he purchased a half interest in the village plat, in connection with his brother, Isaac P. MORGAN. For ten years, in partnership with his brother Thomas, he conducted the Morgan Hous! e, but on Christmas Eve of 1876, it was burned to the ground, and Thomas returned to Michigan. Rebuilding the hotel he sold half an interest to his son-in-law, John C. STETSON, but subsequently repurchased it. He then leased the hotel for several years, while he himself engaged in farming in Milton Township. On the 5th day of March, 1888, Mr. MORGAN departed this life, and he was mourned by the entire community as a worthy and valued citizen, whose plain and unassuming manner, and upright life won all hearts. For twelve years he was Postmaster at Milton, and was appointed to the same position at Milton Junction, by President Cleveland, about two years before his death. He was an uncompromising Democrat, and being in a strongly Republican community, was consequently never called upon to fill local elective offices. While residing in Michigan he united with the Close Communion Baptist Church, and adhered to the faith of that denomination the remainder of his life. He is still survived by his widow, but their only daughter, the wife of John C. STETSON, an attorney-at-law, of Chicago, is deceased. Two bright and interesting granddaughters are the only descendants left to comfort Mrs. MORGAN in her bereavement.
