General Notes: Husband - Lewis Whittaker Morgan

---

He was born in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania, and remained on the home place during early life. At the age of twenty years, in company with Solomon Sibbitty he opened the first general store in California, Pennsylvania, conducting it for five years. After selling the store in California, Mr. Morgan followed river traffic a few years, then opened a grocery in Coal Centre, which he conducted but a few months, when he returned to California and invested in another store, and opened a coal office. He was a Republican, but voted the Prohibition ticket beginning from the organization of that party. In religious faith he was a member of the M. E. Church, of which he was steward and treasurer, and of the Sunday-school he was superintendent twenty-six years.

He was thirteen years old when he came first to Greenfield, later known as Coal Center, Washington County, and since 1851 has been a continuous resident of Coal Center and what became the borough of California. He spent several years as clerk on different steamboats, mainly the old steamer Telegraph, on the Monongahela River, in his earlier business life and later was interested in the mercantile and coal business, formerly operating two mines, the last one under the firm name of Morgan & Dixon. He retired from the coal industry in 1889, but still continued his mercantile interests. In partnership with Solomon Sibbit, under the firm style of Morgan & Sibbit, he established the first general store in what is now California, and in every way, ever since, he has been identified with the development of the place. Upon the organization of the first board of trustees of the Southwestern State Normal School at California, he was elected president of the board, this honor being conferred June 5, 1864, and at different times thereafter he served as a member of this body.
He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, belonging to its official board. For more than fifty years he was a Free Mason and was identified with the lodge at Coal Center. Few men were better acquainted with Washington County history than Mr. Morgan and he is frequently consulted on the subject. He was a valued member of the Century Literary Club of California, and every year from 1898 on he prepared and read a historical paper of great interest before that organization.
