Obituary, printed in the Atlanta Constitution August 14, 1890:
Death of Mrs. Amanda Morgan
Mrs. Amanda Morgan passed away at her home in West End, after a short illness, yesterday.
Mrs. Morgan was born in Oglethorpe county, seventy-five years ago. She was wedded to Mr. John Morgan about fifty-five years ago.
Their two eldest sons, Monroe Morgan and Richard Morgan, died in the Confederate service.
After the war Mr. and Mrs. Morgan removed to Coweta county, where Mr. Morgan died about four years ago.
About two years since, Mrs. Morgan came to West End, and has resided with her son, Mr. A. L. Morgan, since that time. She was a consistent member of the Baptist church for many years, and was a most lovable woman, a devoted wife and loving mother.
She leaves a number of grown children, Mrs. Sarah Nash and Mrs. Caroline Morgan [sic/should be Mobley], her eldest daughters, with Mr. John Morgan, live in Texas. Mr. A. P. Morgan is a prominent business man of this city, and Mr. W. W. Morgan is associated with him in business.
Mr. E. W. Morgan, at whose residence in West End she died, is well known in the city. Her only unmarried daughter, Miss Jane Morgan, resided with her.
{She has a nephew, Mr. L. B. Morgan, and a niece, Mrs. Wilkinson, who are residents of this city.}
Mrs. Morgan had been ill only five days, and her death was very unexpected. The friends of the family sympathize most deeply with them in the loss of a mother who was all love, gentleness and devotion to them during her long and lovable life.
The remains will be sent to Macedonia church, Coweta county, where the funeral will occur at 11 o'clock today.
