C.H. MORGAN, farmer, Prairie Creek, is the son of one of the
old and respected citizens of Prairie Creek township, who came to Vigo
county, in 1829, and settled in Prairie Creek township, where the
subject of this sketch was born in 1845, he having remained at home
working on his father's farm until he was man grown.  After this he
began for himself, and at the present time he is the owner of as fine
a farm as there is in Prairie Creek township. His buildings and his
surroundings to the passer-by will go to show that Mr. MORGAN has not
been idle, although when he took his farm it was in the rough and was
a heavy timbered farm. His father was born in 1816, and died March 29,
1880. Mr. MORGAN has been twice married. His first wife was Ophelia
TRUEBLOOD, daughter of B.G. TRUEBLOOD, who was one of the early
settlers of Vigo county. The maiden name of his present wife was Nancy
M. GILLCREASE. Mr. MORGAN has four children by his former and one by
his present wife. Mr. MORGAN is a member of the Masonic fraternity of
Lodge No.  178, which meets at Prairieton, and in politics he is a
staunch republican.
