	WHEREAS, Mr. Morgan was born in Union Valley on August 8,
	1929; he joined the United States Air Force in 1948 and courageously

	civilian life, working as a firefighter in Greenville until 1980;

	the love and support of his wife of 62 years, Betty; he was the proud

	his family grow to include four grandchildren; a man of abiding
	faith, he was a valued member of the First Baptist Church in
	Quitman; and

	cherished memories of time spent in his company will long endure in
	the hearts of those he leaves behind; now, therefore, be it
