Mr. Sam Morgan, of Rome, Ga., passed Jacksonville Thursday to Choccolocco valley to attend the funeral of his father Mr. G. C. Morgan. Mr. Caleb Morgan (the name he was best known by) was one of the earliest settlers of this county. He was a man of correct principles and high character and during his long life enjoyed the esteem and confidence of his neighbors. His death must have been unexpected, as Mr. Samuel Morgan received a dispatch notifying him of his father's death only a few moments before the departure of the down train of the E. T. Va., and Ga., from Rome.
