Dick T. Morgan

Congressman Dick T. Morgan was called to his reward at Danville,
Illinois, July 4, 1920.  The cause of his death was lobar pneumonia.

His body was brought to Oklahoma City, Okla. for interment.  Services
were held in the First Christian Church.  Brethren E. D. Salkeld and
Isom Roberts, E. T.  Lain had part.  The writer preached the funeral
sermon.  Sixty honorary pallbearers, among them four Congressmen, were
in attendance.

Brother Morgan was Christian legislator, a wise counselor, thoroughly
reliable and held in great esteem by all who knew him.  He was the
first president of the Oklahoma Christian Missionary society and, to
the day of his death, was an active participator in all the Church's
enterprises of the state.  He was trustee of Phillips University, and
rendered that institution valuable service.  He leaves a widow and
only son, Porter Morgan, a prominent attorney in Oklahoma City.  The
Church, Phillips University, the State and Nation are richer because
of his life and hearty cooperation with them.  God give us more men
like Dick T. Morgan.                                I. N. McCash

Also, Congressman Dick S. Morgan, of Woodward, Okla., passed away
recently at Danville, Ills.  Lobar-pneumonia was the disease which
terminated his earthly career.

Bro. Morgan was  well known, not only as  a statesman, but as  a loyal
disciple of Christ. We recall,  with much pleasure, his frequent vists
to the  Standard office.  When journeying to   and from Washington, he
made it a point, when possible, to stroll into our office, and give us
a word of courage. The last time he  caalled, he spoke very vigorously
against  the "modern view"  program  to "reinterpret" the  Restoration
plea, and added: "But for the Standard we would now be on the rocks."
