Robert Morgan, aged fourteen years and six months, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Morgan, died this morning at four o'clock at the residence of his parents, 620 South Second street. Funeral services will be held at the residence at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. It is a painful duty for us to record the sudden demise of a young man who was universally loved and respected by all who knew him, as was Robert Morgan. He was just entering on a life of usefulness with a bright future before him when his career was brought suddenly to a close by the cold and icy hand of death. His sudden taking away is a severe shock to his parents who have the tender sympathies of the community in their sad hour of bereavement.
