(Instead of submitting this to any specific Mailing List, I am submitting it to the General list in the hopes that it will be seen by a more diverse group.) "Thomas L. Morgan (Llyfnwy) of Scranton, one of the best known Welshmen in this section, died yesterday of general debility, aged 65 years. He was a man of strong literary attainments and was well known in Welsh literary circles. He was also an antiquarian and an authority on Welsh lore and on the old castles and Welsh nobility from its earliest history. He was a native of Maesteg, Wales, and emigrated to the United States thirty years ago, and for years carried on a successful merchant tailoring business. He brought up a large family, all of whom are worthy citizens, including Tallie Morgan, the well known Prohibition orator, and William Morgan, the leader of the Forest City Choir, that took a prize at the eisteddfod at Scranton in September. Deceased was secretary of the National Eisteddfod of Wales in 1862." Nancy Cook Pasadena, MD, USA
