Photo right (Sarah Farnham Morgan)

Joseph's grand-daughter "Leora" stated in 2000, that she remembered her grandpa Morgan dying (80 yrs ago!) on Christmas Day in 1920. She would have been only 9 years old at the time. Cheboygan County death records confirm this giving the following: Joseph Morgan b.1854 d.25 Dec 1920 in Forest Township, Cheboygan County.

Jack LaPeer sent the following info in Nov, 2000: Forest Lawn Cemetery, Tower, Forest Township, Cheboygan Co: Joseph Morgan 1854-1920. Also buried here is a Millard A. Morgan 1908-1977 who may not be related? -- Family say that Sarah Morgan was also buried there.

Sibling "AMY" is another memory of Leora. Leora also recalled that Sarah Farnham (her grandmother) had a brother., we later found photos of uncle Henry Farnham, "Sarah's" brother. In 2003, Scott Ives' research showed "Amy" and other siblings of Joseph Morgan.
