JEPP MORGAN FOUND DEAD IN BED ON FRIDAY
The people of Heflin were made sad indeed early Friday morning on learning of
the sudden death of Jepp Morgan. His death was so sudden and unexpected that
no one would seem to comphrehend it. Mr. Morgan was found dead in his bed
early Friday morning. It is thought that his trouble was acute indigestion.
He was in the prime of life and seemingly in perfect health. At twelve
o'clock Thursday night in the Masonic meeting he was performing his duties as
an officer regularly and cheerfully and his death a few hours later was a
grevious surprize to his Masonic friends and the entire people of Heflin.
Mr. Morgan leaves every person a friend, a tribute to the life he lead. Many
hearts will spend a sad christmas on account of his death. The people of
Heflin, one and all, extend their sympathies to parents and relatives of Mr.
Morgan. The deceased was a staunch young Mason and his body will be placed
away with Masonic honors.

DEATH OF PROMINENT HEFLIN GENTLEMAN
On Monday afternoon, the second instant, Mr. John F. Morgan died at his family
residence in Heflin after a long illness. At his bedside when death came were
six of his sons, two daughters and his wife. Mr. Morgan was born in Hall
County, Georgia and was sixty-eight years old at the time of his death. Mr.
Morgan was an honest, upright man, a good citizen and was a member of the
Baptist church. He was loyal to his friends, his principles of right, his
country and his church. He was one of the pioneer citizens of Heflin, having
moved to this place more than thirty years ago when the town was a mere
railroad construction camp. He was for many years engaged in the mercantile
business and was once the Mayor of the town.
In the death of Mr. Morgan the family and the community have lost a kind
husband, a devoted father and a valuable citizen. There survives him his
widow, seven sons and two daughters besides a large circle of relatives and
friends.
At the funeral on Tuesday, the 3rd, there was a large concourse of people who
knew and esteemed Mr. Morgan. Rev. G.B. Boman, his former pastor, performed
the burial service in an appropriate and impressive manner. The pall bearers
were six of his sons, seventh son being a cadet at the Military Academy at
West Point, being absent.
Much could be said in reference to the exemplary life of this good man, Mr.
John F. Morgan. Peace to his reposting dust.
