He was reared at Camden, Ark., obtained a good common education in the schools of that region, but at the age of fourteen years began fighting the battle of life for himself, his attention for two years being given to farm work. After working in the factory at Camden for some time, he began following the occupation of clerking, but becoming imbued with the idea that his knowledge of the "world of books" was much too limited for a successful career through life, he gave up his clerkship to enter school at Mineral Springs, and here remained one session, being a faithful and conscientious student. His next occupation was that of a clerk in a drug store at Mineral Springs, but he afterward took charge of the drug establishment of Brown & Co , of Centre Point, of which he and Dr. J. S. Corn later became proprietors. At the present time he is in the same business with A. J. Forgy, their stock of goods amounting to about $2,500. Mr. Morgan supports with voice, pen and purse, all enterprises of a worthy nature, and the journal of which he and Mr. Forgy are the editors is edited in the interests of the Democrat party, of which he is a member. He has served as recorder of Centre Point for two terms, and socially is a member of the A F. & A. M., being a member of, Centre Point Lodge, which he joined in 1885. His marriage to Miss Lillian P.
