Ernest Hampton Morgan, 97, left this life on Sunday, January 6, 2019. He was born August 31, 1921 to Hampton Hogan and Myrtle Wilkinson Morgan. Hampton was married for 60 years to the former Alice Mae Wooten, who preceded him in death on January 26, 2007. He was a decorated veteran of World War II serving with the 79th Division in Europe.
