The Life Of W. E. Morgan
William Edgar Morgan was born June 15, 1871 in Sevierville, Tennessee. He was the son of William Jasper P Morgan (1844-1916) and Julia Ann Abbott (1844-1900). He was married to Maud M. Fletcher (1884-1903). They had one daughter Maudie Morgan Schmidt (1902-1983).
Little is known of his education, but he preached for churches of Christ in the Knox County area. It would be good to know more about him and his life.
Brother Morgan appears to have had a relatively lonely older life. His wife died after only 19 years of marriage. He never married again. His daughter married and moved to California. He passed from this life in his home on Christmas Day, December 25, 1953. He was 84 years of age.

Special Recognition: Thanks to C. Wayne Kilpatrick and Tom L. Childers for assisting me in the location of the graves on this page. We were together at the Southeast Institute Of Biblical Studies Bible Lectureship in 2021 at the Karns church of Christ in Knoxville, Tennessee. We had a wonderful day traveling to Elizabethton and Johnson City locating graves of gospel preachers of yesteryear.
