Obituary:
Demise of Matthias Morgan, a Resident of Dubuque for Over Forty Years
Matthias Morgan, an old and highly respected resident of Dubuque, died yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the family home on Iowa street above Thirteenth. He had been confined to his bed for two weeks past, and had been ailing a year or longer.
Mr. Morgan was born in 1814 in the parish of Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland, and came to America in 1839. He first took up his residence in Binghampton, N.Y., where he learned the stone cutter's trade, and then removed to Susquehanna county, Pa., where he married Miss Patience Maher. The following year he engaged in railroad contracting with his brother Patrick, and followed it more or less until 1872. His residence in Dubuque began in 1852-over 40 years ago-and in that long time he has ever held the respect of the community. In his last moments he was forfeited with the sacraments of the Catholic church.
Besides his wife, Mr. Morgan is survived by seven children, Thos. F. of Fort Benton, Mon., John H., of Missouri Valley, Iowa, Mrs. R. F. Morrissey, of Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. T. C. Murphy, of this city, and Edward, Josephine and Patience at home. A son, James W. Morgan, died at Hawarden, Iowa, last July.
